# Execute Workflow
The Execute Workflow node is used to run a different workflow on the host machine that runs n8n.
## Node Reference
The Execute Workflow node has two properties:
- ***Source***: This field is used to specify from where to get the workflow's information.
- Database
- Local File
- Parameter
- URL
- ***Workflow***: This field contains information about the workflow, such as the workflow ID, URL, or a file.
## Example Usage
This workflow allows you to execute another workflow on the host machine using the Execute Workflow node. You can also find the [workflow](https://n8n.io/workflows/588) on n8n.io. This example usage workflow would use the following nodes.
