I want to start a process with existing point cloud and photos, but they can be output of other softwares like agisoft, pix4d etc. I know there is an ‘rerun’ option but it is for existing tasks.

Start a process from photos to orthophoto? Yes you can
Start a process from point cloud (which you get from another software or from LIDAR) to orthophoto?
Sorry, I think it can’t be. If you want process point cloud to mesh, you can use free software called meshlab. But it was uncolored mesh except you have colored point cloud. The task name was called Screened Poisson Reconstruction.

In theory this is possible, but will likely be very hard to implement.
The most I’ve seen thus far is passing back in edited assets to use with a restart of the pipeline, but I don’t think I’ve seen people pass assets in from a completely different processing suite yet.

Saijin_Naib is right. However, one might be able to run portions of the toolchain on a valid VisualSfM export from other software for any steps after OpenSfM. We use conversion to VisualSfM format to make it easier to run dense matching at the end of the OpenSfM step, e.g.:
[INFO] running "/code/SuperBuild/install/bin/opensfm/bin/opensfm" export_visualsfm --points "/var/www/data/412bfbc8-988a-4d4a-a996-7c1fd87bfb05/opensfm"

Yes this one.

I’ll look to meshlab. But I need other assets too. So as smathermather said, I’ll try to run OpenSfM pipeline somehow. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, I had typo there, Start a process from point cloud (which you get from another software or from LIDAR) to 3D mesh? please use meshlab with the process called Screened Poisson Reconstruction
Point cloud to GeoTIFF orthophoto? Sorry I don’t know
