Using External Workflows as Tools in n8n

n8n template #2713
This guide will show you how to use a workflow as a reusable tool in n8n, such as integrating an AI Agent or other specialized processes into your workflows. By the end of this example, you'll have a simple, reusable workflow that can be easily plugged into larger projects, making your automations more efficient and scalable. With this approach, you can create reusable workflows like "Scrape a Page," "Search Brave," or "Generate an Image," which you can then call whenever needed. While n8n makes it easy to build these workflows from scratch, setting them up as reusable components saves time as your automations grow in complexity.
