Apply workflow operations

Apply draft edits and block enablement changes in one write. Requires workspace write access. The live deployment is unchanged; lint is advisory.

Inspect skipped and inputValidationErrors for edits that did not apply. Deferred edges apply when their targets exist; do not resubmit them. With atomic=true, declined operations or dropped inputs return 409 (OPERATIONS_NOT_APPLIED) without saving. Use returned mintedBlockIds in later requests. dryRun=true evaluates without saving, auditing, or notifying. Workspace API keys return 403; use a personal API key or scoped OAuth token.

OAuth scope: api:write.

POST/api/v2/workflows/{workflowId}/operations
X-API-Key<token>

Your Sim API key, personal or workspace-scoped. Generate one under Settings, then API Keys. Operations that reject workspace keys say so in their own description.

In: header

Request examples use an API key. For OAuth, replace the X-API-Key header with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Path parameters

workflowId*string

Unique workflow identifier.

Length1 <= length

Query parameters

dryRun?boolean

Validate and lint without writing, auditing, or notifying collaborators. Returns the same validation, preparation warnings, lint findings, and ID-ownership conflicts (409) as a committed write. needsRedeployment describes the pre-write state. For semantic operations, mintedBlockIds is empty; previewBlockIds contains provisional IDs with a warning, since committing mints new IDs.

Request body

application/json

A batch of semantic edits against a workflow graph.

TypeScript definitions

Use the request body type in TypeScript.
