Get Workflow Metadata via API

Get Workflow Metadata via API

Is there a way to get metadata on workflows and/or custom functions via API? I would like to automatically pull this information.

I couldn't find it in the documentations, but I'm curious if there is an undocumented endpoint that could do this.

                                    Anyone have a workaround for this? Zoho really needs to hire new designers - templates are terrible. A custom template has been created, but every time we try to use it, it strips out all the CSS from the head.  IE, we'll define the styles right in the <head> (simple example below) and everything gets stripped (initially, it saves fine, but when you browse away and come back to the template, all the custom css is removed). <style type="text/css"> .footerContent a{display:block !important;} </style>
