# Action `call_node`

> **System ID:** `action_call_node`

## Description

Starts a node with the specified alias in the **current** bot (same `bot_id`, `chat_id`, `channel`). The request is sent asynchronously (“fire-and-forget”) — the scenario does not wait for the result. Values in `data` support placeholders. To call a node in **another** bot and wait for a response, use `api__callnode`.

## Events (scenario branches)

No events (the action completes without a branch).

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `alias` | string | yes | — | Alias of the node (connector) to start |
| `data` | object | no | `{}` | Data for the target node; string values support placeholders |

## Configuration example

```json
{
  "alias": "send_notification",
  "data": {
    "order_id": "{{order_id}}",
    "user_name": "{{user_name}}"
  }
}
```
