Create a workflow
Creates a workflow with its single trigger step. trigger_type defaults to EVENT, which requires event_name; SCHEDULE takes interval_ms and MANUAL is started only by POST /api/v1/workflows/{id}/executions.
Pass sequence to create the steps at the same time, as a LINEAR chain behind the trigger. Anything with a branch is PUT /api/v1/workflows/{id}/graph. Without a sequence the workflow holds only its trigger and stays inert until it has steps to run, which is why it is created disabled.
Requires the workflows:write scope — Create, edit, enable, and delete your automation workflows.
API key authentication. Use a sk_* (FULL) or pk_* (SENDING_ONLY) key as the bearer token. Public keys (pk_*) are restricted to the email-send endpoints and the self-serve list subscribe/unsubscribe pair; every other endpoint — event tracking included — answers 403 for them. In scope terms (used by /api/v1/* operations): FULL keys hold every scope; SENDING_ONLY keys hold only emails:send.
