# Inline Subworkflow Node

> Execute subworkflows defined inline within your workflow code.

`vellum.workflows.nodes.InlineSubworkflowNode`

Used to execute a Subworkflow defined inline within your workflow. This allows you to modularize and reuse workflow logic.

### Attributes

**`subworkflow`** `Type[BaseWorkflow[WorkflowInputsType, InnerStateType]]` — required

The Subworkflow class to execute

---

**`subworkflow_inputs`** `Dict[str, Any]` — required

The inputs to pass to the subworkflow

---

### Outputs

The outputs of this node are determined by the outputs defined in the subworkflow. Each output from the subworkflow will be streamed through this node.

**`Example Usage`**

```python title="Example Usage"
from vellum.workflows.nodes import InlineSubworkflowNode
from vellum.workflows.inputs.base import BaseInputs
from vellum.workflows.state import BaseState
from vellum.workflows import BaseWorkflow

class SubworkflowInputs(BaseInputs):
    query: str
    max_results: int

class SubworkflowState(BaseState):
    pass

class MySubworkflow(BaseWorkflow[SubworkflowInputs, SubworkflowState]):
    # Define your subworkflow logic here
    pass

class MyInlineSubworkflowNode(InlineSubworkflowNode):
    subworkflow = MySubworkflow
    subworkflow_inputs = {
        "query": "search term",
        "max_results": 10
    }
```

**`Complex Example with Multiple Outputs`**

```python title="Complex Example with Multiple Outputs"
from vellum import (
    InlineSubworkflowNode,
    BaseWorkflow,
    BaseInputs,
    BaseState,
)
from typing import List

class ProcessingInputs(BaseInputs):
    text: str
    categories: List[str]

class ProcessingState(BaseState):
    pass

class TextProcessingWorkflow(BaseWorkflow[ProcessingInputs, ProcessingState]):
    # Subworkflow implementation
    pass

class TextProcessorNode(InlineSubworkflowNode):
    subworkflow = TextProcessingWorkflow
    subworkflow_inputs = {
        "text": "Process this text for analysis",
        "categories": ["sentiment", "topics", "entities"]
    }
```

**`Example Outputs`**

```python title="Example Outputs"
# Outputs depend on the subworkflow's defined outputs
MyInlineSubworkflowNode.Outputs(
    search_results=["Result 1", "Result 2", "Result 3"],
    metadata={
        "total_found": 100,
        "processing_time": 0.5
    }
)
```

**`Streaming Example`**

```python title="Streaming Example"
# Outputs are streamed as they're generated by the subworkflow
for output in node.run():
    if output.is_streaming:
        print(f"Received partial output for {output.name}: {output.delta}")
    elif output.is_fulfilled:
        print(f"Received final output for {output.name}: {output.value}")
```
