# Run a published workflow by hand

Fires a published workflow NOW against one record: it does real work — edits records, sends messages — acting with the seat of whoever published it. Body: optional `definitionKey` (the page, e.g. `deals`) and `rowId` (the record it is about). It QUEUES the run and answers it; the worker executes, so follow it with `get_workflows_runs_id`. A draft is refused with 422 — publish it first. Nothing here is a dry run; `post_workflows_validate` is the one that only looks.

Access class: `workspace:admin`.
