Triggers a workflow execution. This is the primary way to run workflows programmatically.

​
Usage

curl -X POST https://app.splox.io/api/v1/workflow-requests/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "workflow_version_id": "your-workflow-version-id",
    "chat_id": "your-chat-id",
    "entry_node_ids": ["your-entry-node-id"],
    "query": "Your message or instruction",
    "files": []
  }'

​
How It Works

  1. The API creates a WorkflowRequest with status pending
  2. The request is enqueued for processing
  3. Execution begins at the specified entry node(s)
  4. The entry node receives a payload: { "text": "<query>", "chat_id": "<chat_id>", "files": [...] }
  5. Downstream nodes access this via {{ start.text }}, {{ start.chat_id }}, etc.

​
Prerequisites

Before running a workflow, you need:
  1. A workflow version ID — Get it via List Workflows or Get Latest Version
  2. Entry node IDs — Get them via Get Entry Nodes
  3. A chat session — Create one via Create Chat
