Execute Workflow:\n* The `workflowId` to execute is dynamically set using the value from the previous step:\n `{{ $('Map webhook request to fields').item.json.targetWorkflowId }}`\n* **Wait for Completion:** This node is configured to wait until the sub-workflow (the one being executed) finishes before continuing.\n* Handles success and error responses separately."
