Create or replace a workflow's hosted chat and deploy its draft. Omitted fields reset to defaults except per-field customizations. Password authentication requires password; email or SSO requires non-empty allowedEmails. Public authentication allows anyone with the chat URL to use it. A duplicate identifier or pending deployment returns 409. Workspace API keys return 403; use a personal API key or scoped OAuth token.
OAuth scope: api:write.
/api/v2/workflows/{workflowId}/deployments/chatYour 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.
