# Invoke a Subprocess

### Overview

Invoking a subprocess is one of the three ways a parent process can call a subprocess in Kognitos. When a subprocess is **invoked** using the `invoke` keyword, the parent process does *not* manage its execution or output.

{% hint style="success" %}
This method is ideal when the parent process does not need to track the status or output of the subprocess and can continue execution immediately after invoking it.
{% endhint %}

## How Can I Invoke A Subprocess?

This section explains how to call a process within another process as a **subprocess** using the `invoke` keyword.

#### Syntax

```
invoke {subprocess name} with
      {inputs}
```

#### Input Parameters

1. `subprocess name`: The name of the subprocess.
2. `inputs`: Any data elements the subprocess needs to run.

In this example, the subprocess `verify applicant qualifications` is called with `the resume` as input.

```
invoke verify applicant qualifications with
      the resume
```
