I was working on a development setup that syncs workflows from n8n into my repo. I was using the
workflow.afterUpdatehook for that. This one only triggers when an existing workflow is saved, though. I tried using the documentedworkflow.createhook, but of course, the workflow hasn't been fully created yet; thus, no workflow ID to match on later exists.Using the undocumented
workflow.afterCreatehook solved this nicely for me.
