Apply Workflow Operations

Edit the draft graph and block enablement in one write. Inspect skipped for failures; do not retry deferred edges. With atomic=true, skipped operations or dropped inputs return 409 (OPERATIONS_NOT_APPLIED) without saving. mintedBlockIds maps labels to generated IDs. Lint is advisory; dryRun=true validates without saving, auditing, or notifying. The live deployment is unchanged. 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

Path Parameters

workflowId*string

Unique workflow identifier.

Length1 <= length

Query Parameters

dryRun?boolean

Validate and lint without persisting. The response is identical to the committed write of the same body, so a caller can inspect lint and then re-send the request for real. Nothing is written, no audit entry is recorded, and collaborators are not notified.

Request Body

application/json

A batch of semantic edits against a workflow graph.

TypeScript Definitions

Use the request body type in TypeScript.
