What is the primary purpose of the Invoke Workflow File activity in UiPath?

The primary purpose of the Invoke Workflow File activity in UiPath is to execute logic defined in a separate workflow. This activity allows developers to compartmentalize processes into reusable workflows, enhancing modularity and maintainability. By invoking another workflow, you can effectively manage complex processes by isolating specific tasks or sequences into their own workflows, enabling easier updates and testing.

This approach also promotes code reuse, as the same workflow can be invoked multiple times from different locations within a project, thus streamlining development efforts and reducing redundancy. The ability to pass arguments between the main workflow and the invoked workflow further enhances the flexibility and functionality of automation processes.

Creating a new workflow file dynamically is not the function of this activity; instead, it relies on existing workflows. Direct execution of code written in C# or VB.NET is also not applicable, as Invoke Workflow File is designed specifically for invoking automation workflows. Similarly, managing variables across all workflows can be achieved using other techniques like arguments or global variables, but it is not the primary function of this specific activity.
