Is it possible to setup the order of execution of bots?

I have 3 bots in one table.  The Bot "Create PDF" is executed when clicking a button, so I control when to trigger it

The others 2 bots are executed when the table is updated.  Both bots have different conditions to fire them. The order of execution is Bot 2 and then Bot 1, but I want to execute Bot 1 first and then Bot 2. Is it possible to setup the order?

You could make another bot, the master coordinator, that runs the others in sequence.

  • Technically it will be running the processes from your bots, but the effect will be the same.

Here's how:

  1. For each of your bots, scroll down to the "Options" and turn on the "Make this process reusable" toggle
       - This will make the steps you've outlined for that individual bot as something that can be used by others.
  2. Create a master coordinator bot
  3. For each step the type = "Call a process", and then select the individual process you want to run.

The effect will be that they run in sequence, one after another.  You could even get fancy and include some branching steps, if you wanted to check for certain things and execute conditional steps. 💪

Hope it helps!
