I have been going through the forum to find a solution. I need to trigger another flow B when I finish a certain task on flow A. I read a little about sub-flows but not quite sure what is the best practice to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Why are they two different flows rather than a continuation of one?
You could look at the `link` nodes which create "virtual" wires between nodes

@ukmoose, I thought about having everything in the same flow but, I need this flow B to run at it's own set times but also run once a certain task is done on flow B. Also, Thank you so much for the suggestion it worked!
