# executeFlow

## Syntax

`executeFlow(config)`

## Description

Executes a target Flow starting from a specified Entrypoint Node.

The behavior is controlled by `config.flowNode.isGoto`:

* `false` – the target Flow runs temporarily, then returns to the current Flow.
* `true` – the target Flow runs permanently and doesn't return to the current Flow. For this behavior, you must call [`resetNextNodes()`](/ai/for-developers/function-reference/execution-control/resetNextNodes) before calling `executeFlow()`.

Only Nodes marked as Entrypoint in the target Flow can be used.

**Parameters:**

* `config`: `IExecuteFlowNodeConfig` — the `IExecuteFlowNodeConfig` configuration object that specifies the configuration for the Flow execution.

  ```js theme={null}
  interface IExecuteFlowNodeConfig {
      flowNode: {
          flow: string;
          node: string;
          isGoto?: boolean;
      };
      parseIntents?: boolean;
      parseKeyphrases?: boolean;
      absorbContext?: boolean;
  }
  ```

  **Returns:** `Promise<void>`

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Permanent Switch (`isGoto = true`)">
    ```txt theme={null}
    Current Flow → executeFlow(target Flow) → switches → target Flow continues (no return)
    ```

    ```js theme={null}
    resetNextNodes();         // Call this function to make sure `isGoto: true` is applied
    await executeFlow({
      flowNode: {
        flow: "support-flow",     // The ID of the target Flow
        node: "node-id",          // The ID of the Entrypoint Node
        isGoto: true              // Keep execution in the target Flow
      },
      parseIntents: true,         // Enable intent parsing in the target Flow
      parseKeyphrases: false,     // Disable keyphrase parsing
      absorbContext: true         // Absorb context from the target Flow
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Temporary Run (`isGoto = false`)">
    ```txt theme={null}
    Current Flow → executeFlow(target Flow) → returns → Current Flow continues
    ```

    ```js theme={null}
    await executeFlow({
      flowNode: {
        flow: "support-flow",     // The ID of the target Flow
        node: "node-id",          // The ID of the Entrypoint Node
        isGoto: false             // Return to this Flow after execution
      },
      parseIntents: true,         // Enable intent parsing in the target Flow
      parseKeyphrases: false,     // Disable keyphrase parsing
      absorbContext: true         // Absorb context from the target Flow
    });
