Why don't the steps specified in the API payload request appear in the Pipedream workflow when using a template, and why does an empty workflow get created without a template ID?

Hi there! Looking for help. Trying to create pipedream workflows via API from python. When I’m trying to specify a template in API payload tch_3BXfWO, the workflow which gets created contains only steps from that template. All steps specified in API payload request are not present in workflow. When I’m trying to create a workflow without template ID, it creates and empty workflow with not steps in it. In all cases I receive the successful API response, no validation errors, no warnings. I’m a bit lost and have to idea what to do :shrug:

This a single-step workflow I’m tryin to create from the code:

  "steps": [
    {
      "id": "step_0",
      "component_code": "slack-send-message-to-channel",
      "params": {
        "slack": {
          "authProvisionId": "************"
        },
        "channel": "#general",
        "text": "Your pipeline has been manually triggered!"
      }
    }
  ],

Can you please help here.

You can only create workflows from a template, and not modify them

Can we create our own templates? which remains restricted to us?

The template ID is not exposed anywhere, but anyone with it can create a workflow
