+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The *Execute Macro* action allows you to execute another macro like a subroutine, though without any ability to pass parameters or receive a result other than through variables (if you want to pass parameters in to a sub-macro or receive a result from it, consider making it a subroutine by adding the [[trigger:Subroutine|Subroutine]] trigger to it and using the [[action:Execute_a_Subroutine|Execute a Subroutine]] action instead). The sub-macro will be executed, and when it is finished, execution will continue on from after this action. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can optionally configure the action to be *Asynchronous*, which means the sub-macro will be executed as a new execution instance, and the current macro will continue on without waiting so that both macros will be executing at the same time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can optionally configure a parameter for the executed macro which will be available via the [[token:TriggerValue|%TriggerValue%]] token. | ||
