Workflows
Use workflows to automate multi-step processes
The Workflow Execution object
A Workflow Execution represents an instance of a workflow run triggered by your backend or frontend application. You can run workflows on a Transactionlink-hosted page, embed the form in your app, or execute them entirely in the background.
Use this object to initialize the flow, pass context, and retrieve completion status via webhooks or polling.
Initialise a new workflow execution. Requires can_run permission on the workflow definition.
Organization API token (tot_) — preferred authentication method. Pass the token directly without Bearer prefix.
Organization token (tot_) — preferred method, or legacy Bearer JWT token. Pass the tot_ token directly without Bearer prefix; use Bearer <jwt> for legacy JWT auth.

Returns the JSON result payload produced by a workflow execution. The result is retrieved from storage and reflects the final output of the workflow run. Requires can_view_workspace permission on the workspace.
For result payloads exceeding 9 MB the response will not contain the full JSON body. Instead a redirect object is returned with a single $redirect key whose value is a pre-signed S3 URL valid for 5 minutes. The client must follow that URL with an unauthenticated GET request to retrieve the full payload directly from storage.
Organization API token (tot_) — preferred authentication method. Pass the token directly without Bearer prefix.

Arbitrary JSON object representing the result produced by the workflow execution. Returned when the payload is 9 MB or smaller. The structure depends on the workflow definition.
