# Invoking coded automations inside low-code workflow

> This section of the tutorial shows you how to invoke coded automations, specifically the `Random` and `IncrementProxy` workflows, within a low-code workflow by utilizing the **Invoke Workflow File** activity. This action will generate a random value, increment it, and display the final result in the console.

This section of the tutorial shows you how to invoke coded automations, specifically the `Random` and `IncrementProxy` workflows, within a low-code workflow by utilizing the **Invoke Workflow File** activity.

:::note
This tutorial and sample project are created using a **Cross-platform** project in Studio. It is important to remember that within **Cross-platform** projects, the **Invoke Workflow File** activity automatically imports arguments for the invoked workflow as fields of the activity. For **Windows** projects, you must click **Arguments** and manually add the arguments.
:::

## Steps

1. In the **Main** workflow, add an **Invoke Workflow File** activity.
   1. Select the `Random` workflow from the **Workflow File Name** dropdown.

Because we are working inside a **Cross-platform** project, the arguments from the `Random` workflow (`min` and `max`) are automatically imported as fields in the activity.

      :::note
      For Windows projects: In the **Invoke Workflow File** activity, select **Browse for File** and change the file extensions you're browsing for, from **Workflow Files** (`*.xaml`, `*.uiwf`) to **All Files (\*.\*)**. This allows you to view all files, including `.cs`.
      :::

   2. Specify values for the **min** and **max** fields, between which determine the range within which the random value is generated.
   3. In the **Output** field of the activity, create an Int32 variable named `result`, to store the generated value.
2. Add another **Invoke Workflow File**.
   1. This time select the `IncrementProxy` workflow from the **Workflow File Name** dropdown.
   2. Specify the output `result` variable in the **Random** field.
   3. In the **Output** field of the activity, create an Int32 variable named `inc_result`, to store the incremented random value.
3. Finally, add a **Log Message** activity and specify the `inc_result` variable in the **Message** field, to print out the final value to the console.
