Invoke Workflow
SharePoint Workflows can be invoked by a NITRO Workflow. This is used when there are already SharePoint workflows on the list and you want to run those as part of a NITRO Workflow. This is primarily for backwards compatibility so that you do not have to re-write the SharePoint workflows as NITRO Workflows. Also, there may be capabilities in SharePoint workflows that you want to implement.
In this way, you can include "Invoke Workflow" (meaning a SharePoint workflow) as one of the actions in a NITRO Workflow. (Of course, the "Invoke Workflow" action could be the only action in a NITRO Workflow.)
