# Triggering Workflows in Workflows

In the event that you need to trigger integration logic between different workflows, you can build a [Function](/workflows/functions) step that generates a [Paragon User Token](/getting-started/installing-the-connect-sdk#id-2.-generate-a-paragon-user-token) in order to trigger workflows via a subsequent [Request](/workflows/triggers/request-trigger) step.

1. Add your Paragon Signing Key as an [Environment Secret](/workflows/environment-secrets) in Paragon.

<Note>
  When adding your signing key as an Environment Secret, make sure to use the single-line "string" format instead of the multi-line "file" format. The key should be a single string with newlines represented as `\n`.
</Note>

2. In the first workflow, add a Function step with the following code:

```js theme={null}
function yourFunction(parameters, libraries) {

  // Import the jsonwebtoken library
  const { jsonwebtoken } = libraries;

  // Your Connected User's ID, taken from settings.userId
  const userId = parameters.userId;

  // Your Paragon Signing Key
  const key = parameters.signingKey.replaceAll("\\n", "\n");

  // Generate current timestamp
  const currentTime = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);

  // Generate your Paragon User Token
  return jsonwebtoken.sign(
      {
        sub: userId,
        iat: currentTime,
        exp: currentTime + (60 * 60), // 1 hour from now
      },
      key,
      {
        algorithm: "RS256",
      }
    )
}
```

The function takes in the following parameters: `userId` and `signingKey`, which can be retrieved by using the [Dynamic Variable Menu](/workflows/using-dynamic-variables).

3. Add a Request step configured for the API Endpoint provided for your specific trigger type. You can more about Triggers and their endpoints [here](/workflows/triggers).
