You can return HTTP responses from [HTTP-triggered workflows](/workflows/steps/triggers/#http) using the [`$.respond()` function](/workflows/steps/triggers/#http-responses).

## Invoke another workflow

<Callout type="warning">
This is an alpha feature and is subject to change without prior notice.
</Callout>

You can invoke another workflow in your workspace with `$.flow.trigger`:

```javascript
await $.flow.trigger(
workflowId, // your Pipedream workflow ID, e.g. p_abc123
payload, // any JSON-serializable data
)
```

[Find your workflow's ID here.](/troubleshooting#where-do-i-find-my-workflows-id)

This invokes the workflow directly -- you don't need to configure a trigger, and the request does not leave the platform.

We also provide a [Trigger Workflow](https://pipedream.com/apps/helper-functions/actions/trigger-workflow) action in the [Helper Functions](https://pipedream.com/apps/helper-functions) app so you don't need to do it by code!

Your workflow's ID is the value that starts with `p_`. In this example: `p_abc123`.

## How do I invoke another workflow?

We provide a [Trigger Workflow](https://pipedream.com/apps/helper-functions/actions/trigger-workflow) action in the [Helper Functions](https://pipedream.com/apps/helper-functions) app. [See more here](/code/nodejs#invoke-another-workflow).

Another option is to make an HTTP request to a Pipedream HTTP webhook trigger.
