You can get more details on the above GET/POST request options by navigating to the swagger documentation:

Hi, where can we find this workflow config id?

@Michael McCollough @Nikhil K

Michael McCollough

The workflow config id will come from the workflow configuration object in D2. When you start a workflow in D2, you are starting a D2 Workflow based off its configuration.

So you can find your workflow you want using a query:
select r_object_id, object_name from d2_workflow_config
