Workflow API enhancement (BIG)

Allow us to extract the steps, content and view the entire workflow via API! Can you imagine?! We could show someone’s entire journey! Being able to edit from a simple command center via API would be a chefs kiss

I agree with this it would be nice to be able to build workflows via api - The ame way an AI agent using the n8n MCP can build workflows in n8n and actually test them - GHL needs the same depth when it comes to workflows. This would save so much time in the sense where the agent would be able to assess your CRM and business and see what workflows would help you organize your day to day and actually understand the workflow lifecycle of the contact.

This would be a massive unlock. Right now the workflow API returns almost nothing, just surface metadata, which makes serious tooling, debugging, and AI-assisted optimization effectively impossible.
A few concrete reasons this matters:
- Industry standard: Every major automation platform , n8n, Zapier, Make exposes steps and content via API. GHL is the outlier here.
- Essential for MCP / AI workflows: GHL's official MCP is missing workflow tools entirely, so I built a custom MCP server to fill the gap. But without step-level access, all I can expose is shallow data. I can't pipe real workflow context into Claude or ChatGPT to iterate, stress-test, or suggest improvements and copy-pasting a 40-step workflow into an LLM by hand isn't a workflow.
- End-to-end journey visibility: Being able to pull a full workflow, triggers, steps, branches, delays, means we can version-control it, diff across environments, visualize the customer journey for clients, and document it properly.
- Command-center editing over API = chef's kiss: Bulk edits, templating across sub-accounts, AI-assisted cleanup — all unlocked the moment the API returns real structure.
Please prioritize this. The current "metadata only" version isn't useful for anyone building serious tooling on top of GHL.
P.S. This was first requested in November 2025: are you folks not using AI-powered development internally? If not, happy to come enable your team :)

I really need to be able to extract not only basic meta data about workflows via API Private Integrations, but also see what the trigger(s) is/are and what actions there are, including but not limited to:
IF/ELSE
waits
tasks
emails
Add tags
remove tags
etc...
