Convert ACTION to WORKFLOW

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert ACTION to WORKFLOW?
Yes - ACTION converts to WORKFLOW.

Not a file conversion - an .action is a component you USE inside Automator to build a .workflow. Drag the installed action into a new Automator document and save it as a workflow/quick-action. The .workflow is the runnable result, not a converted .action.
