The forward trigger starts a run with a document that another workflow forwarded to it. Pair it with a Forward output in another workflow to split a mixed bundle across specialized workflows based on what each page contains. A forward trigger receives a document, and nothing else: the pages a Forward node in another workflow sends it. It has no settings.
To reuse another workflow’s steps on the document you already have, rather than handing the document off, use a Call workflow action and a Sub-workflow trigger instead. See Reusable sections.

​
Inputs and outputs

Allowed inputs: none. This is a trigger node. Output: A forwarded document carries provenance and pages. It does not carry a data contract: that is what a Sub-workflow trigger is for.

Forward output

Send documents from another workflow to this trigger

Classify action

Classify pages and forward each segment to a different workflow

Sub-workflow trigger

Be called as a reusable section instead

Extract action

Extract structured data once the forwarded document arrives
