Hi, where can we find this workflow config id?
@Michael McCollough @Nikhil K
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
