Hi, i was trying to create a simple workflow using the Automation v4 api. I used the /automation/v4/flows resource in a POST request, the workflow was created succesfully. However, it’s a standard workflow and i was wondering if it’s possible to create a simple workflow that does not count towards my workflow account limit.

Hey, @snid 👋 Thanks for your question. You are not missing an option. I double-checked the knowledge base articles and the dev docs for Workflows and none indicate that you can create a Simple Workflow via an API request. They must be created in-app.

I hope this helps get you moving forward! — Jaycee
