Return the output of child scenarios
complete
MLCommons Systems
When using scenario chaining (child scenarios), the child scenario's output isn't returned to the parent, strongly limiting the usefulness of what otherwise seems like a core feature. Only the Execution ID is returned; the feature request is to return whatever was output by the last module in the child scenario.
Not having this forces designers to work around the problem using webhooks, making the process far more complicated and inefficient than it needs to.

I’m excited to announce that we’ve just released scenario outputs and synchronous subscenarios.
What’s new?
- You can define scenario outputs in the ‘Scenario inputs and outputs’ panel
- New ‘Return output’ module that allows you to return data from a scenario
- New ‘Call a subscenario’ module with ‘Wait for subscenario output’ settings
- New ‘Start a subscenario’ module for better scenario inputs mapping
Why is it important?
- Synchronous subscenarios: you can break down large and complex scenarios into small and reusable pieces that return data back to the parent scenario
- MCP tools: you can build scenarios that function as MCP tools along with the Make MCP server, allowing you to call Make scenarios from clients like Claude
- AI Agent tools: you can build tools for the Make AI Agent that return structured data to help the agent understand context
