Create Workflow
create_workflowCreate a complete ServiceNow workflow from a single specification, including activities, transitions, and optional publishing.
Instructions
Create a complete ServiceNow workflow from a single specification. Orchestrates: create workflow record -> create version -> create activities -> create transitions -> optionally publish.
Activities are referenced in transitions by their id field (if set) or their array index (as a string like '0', '1', etc.).
IMPORTANT: This creates multiple records on the ServiceNow instance (workflow, version, activities, transitions). Review the specification carefully.
