$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.management.automation.pscredential -ArgumentList $Username, $Password
$org = "organization"
$siteurl = "https://$org.sharepoint.com/sites/Project001"

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://$org-admin.sharepoint.com/" -credential $cred
$Project001 = Get-PnPTenantSite -Identity $siteurl -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

<#With the if else statement the script will verify if the sitecollection already exisits
If the site doesnt exists it will be created based on the new-pnptenantsite criteria.
If the site already exists it will delete and skip the recycle bin time before recreate the site
#>
if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($Project001)) {

Please format you code as code here in the forum. Use the code tag buttons “pre” right above the edit windows when you create a post. Thanks.

When you like to invoke another Powershell script from inside a Powershell script you simply provide the name of the script - ideally including the complete path. You don’t need any special syntax or cmdlet. If you want to run the seconds script inside the same scope you have to provide it dot sourced. (a dot followed by a space followed by the name of the script)

do you have a example?

… example for what??

'C:\abitrary path\to another Folder\ with another\script.ps1'

. 'c:\another abitrary path\ to another Folder\with another script.ps1'

The first line executes the script in a seperate scope, the second line executes another script in the same scope as the script it is launched from.

Why the two scripts. Simplify this effort.
Write one script with 2 functions in one script.
Call the first function, check for complete, that call the second function.
