Read the catalog
get_workflow_catalog lists starter workflows. create_workflow_from_template copies one by templateSlug and name. The copy is a draft.2
Validate
validate_workflow checks the steps and does not save them. The first step must be a trigger: message_received, webhook, or campaign_enrolled. Name, description, text, and caption must fit get_limits.3
Save the draft
create_workflow or update_workflow stores the draft. A draft blocks enroll_automation until publish_workflow succeeds. list_workflows and get_workflow show draft and published status.4
Publish
publish_workflow runs only after you ask. A validation error stays on that tool. The assistant does not enroll the workflow to get around it.5
Enroll
list_automations returns published automations that can be enrolled. enroll_automation takes up to 100 contacts. The assistant does not enroll a draft.discard_workflow_draft drops unpublished edits. delete_workflow deletes the workflow and its execution history, and only after you ask. export_workflows exports up to 50 workflows by id. get_workflow_analytics reads one workflow’s analytics.
Drip campaigns in the dashboard only list workflows whose trigger is campaign_enrolled. A message_received workflow does not appear there.
