How to trigger SPD 2013 or 2010 workflow?
Under actions you should find “Start a List Workflow”: And if you clicked on that you can select the SharePoint 2010 Workflow: Also a site workflow is possible. As far as I know you can not start another SPD 2013 Workflow from an existing one. Maybe a Workflow for a specific content type is also a possible solution…
In SharePoint 2010, you can create list workflows that have full reusability and exportability. These reusable workflows do not rely on a specific list but can be associated with any list. Further, the workflow design can be reused and associated with multiple lists.
Can you call another SP 2013 workflow via rest?
As Karvannan said, you can call another SP2013 workflow via REST. However, if you are using SharePoint 2013 On-Prem, then be aware that you will require the May 2014 CU. I have tested this before with and without the patch in the past, and without it, the REST endpoints for this will not work.
Is it possible to iterate through tasks in SharePoint Designer?
This, together with the new REST API, which supports querying lists and returning data in JSON, allows iterating through list items in a workflow, something that was not possible before.

Is there a way to trigger a list workflow?

Is there a way to trigger second workflow automatically?

When does workflow ( 2 ) start on the employees list?
On the employees list I have another workflow (2) that is set to run when an item is created, or when an item is updated (I checked the start options). When workflow (1) updates items in the Employee Prospects list, workflow (2) is not starting. Is there any way I can setup workflow (1) to automatically trigger workflow (2)?
Is there a fix for SharePoint Designer Step 2?
There is no reason why fix for SharePoint Designer (step 2) shouldn’t work too. I had to replace my second workflow (2) with a 2010 workflow that starts when an item is created in the second list. It all started working better after that.
How to call one workflow from another workflow?
Prior to having a commercial workflow engine, I would have a main status column that drives workflow A and in workflow B, I’d have a condition like if Workflow A tracking column = X and workflow tracking column B = Y, do something. Else update a column so that workflw A refires.
