Advanced Workflows are currently available only for Enterprise customers. To upgrade your account or request a demo, get in touch with our sales team.

The Kadoa Advanced Workflow API provides endpoints to manage workflows efficiently. In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Fetch workflow configuration
  • Update an existing workflow

​
Create an Advanced Workflow

Creation of new advanced workflows is currently only possible via our Chrome Extension or our Workflow Builder in the Kadoa Dashboard. Please refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

​
Update Workflow Configuration

To update the steps in an existing workflow, use the following endpoint:

PUT /v4/advanced-workflows/{workflowId}/steps

​
Request Parameters

  • workflowId (string, required): The ID of the workflow to update.
  • Authorization (header, required): API key for authorization.
  • steps (array body, required): An array containing the all steps.

This endpoint requires the complete array of workflow steps. Partial updates are not supported yet - you must include all existing steps even if you’re only modifying one.

Example Request

curl -X PUT "https://api.kadoa.com/v4/workflows/123456789/steps" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

          {
            "id": "step_1"
          }
        ],
        "params": {
          "schema": [
            {
              "name": "revenue",
              "example": "$123121",
              "description": "Annual revenue number listed at the top of the document"
            },
            {
              "name": "costs",
              "example": "$999",
              "description": "Annual costs listed at the top of the document"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
