**Feature request: Start Flow card with multiple tags (text, number, image, etc.)**

I’m currently using the “Start flow with tag” cards (text, number, yes/no, image) to trigger modular or shared flows — essentially global flows that I call from multiple other flows to handle common tasks.

For example, I have one flow that handles sending a WhatsApp message. Instead of duplicating this logic across multiple flows, I just call the “global” flow using the “Start flow with text tag” card and pass the message. This works well when I only need to send a single tag.

But here’s the problem: if I want to pass both **text and an image** , it doesn’t work. There is **no flow card** that allows you to pass **multiple tags** at once. You can only choose from one tag type at a time (text, number, yes/no, or image), and there’s no way to combine them.

### Proposal

It would be a great improvement if:

- You could start a flow using a **name or ID** , and pass **multiple tags** in a single action (e.g., text + image + number).
- The receiving flow would receive all **defined tags** (only the ones passed, others can be left empty).
- The flow would still run even if **some optional tags are missing** (currently, flows may fail if a tag is expected but not provided).

This would make it much easier to build flexible and reusable flows, especially for those working with conditional logic or integrating with other services (e.g. via webhooks or API bridges).

Is this something others would like as well? Would love to hear feedback or workarounds, but ideally this becomes a built-in feature in the Flow system.

I noticed I already have that app installed (though I’m not sure why). I’ll look into it. Many Thanks!

@Peter_Kawa The image tag is missing, am I right?

Nice. It even has cards with 5`*`3 and 10`*`3 arguments

Yeah no image tag. You can discuss possibilities with the app developer in the topic I linked to.
