Right now, I have an event in the front end that is a “Schedule API workflow on a list” and it calls a backend api workflow called “create\_planet\_prompts”. ![Screen Shot 2023-03-09 at 1.05.03 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/2/525d7aa080bdd0c3801bdf95bd5658d17d22fe41.png) Is there a way for me to have the front-end event call a front-end custom workflow? Right now I can’t access the one I want “create planet prompts New Index”. Am I only able to call this on backend workflows? ![Screen Shot 2023-03-09 at 3.13.17 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/2/b/2bcd59cb6c27410f5c5ed8ec92ec5709e81dc0cb.png) ---

You cannot call a custom event from the backend. ---

Thank you, but I’m an idiot. I meant that the event in question is actually in the front end. In stead of calling a backend workflow, I want i to call a custom front end workflow. So, 1) can I do that, and 2) is it even a good idea. I figured it would be faster for the user. Is that correct? ---

To call a custom event in frontend, you use trigger custom event. It will not be faster. Also, keep in mind this topic: [The Basics - Bubble Docs](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/building-workflows/the-basics#execution-rules) ---

Also, you cannot schedule on a list a custom event in frontend. There’s plugin that can help however ---
