GetWorkflows Functions
The GetWorkflows and GetWorkflowsSession functions returns workflow emails based on the user name. These two functions differ only in respect to parameters for login. For more information, see Login Parameters.

Host: HostName
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: length

UserName=string&Password=string&GroupName=string
Parameters
The GetWorkflows and GetWorkflowsSession use only their respective login parameters.

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Returns
If the user is authenticated, the workflow emails for the user are returned in the AdditionalData tag in JSON format. To easily read these emails, you can paste them into a JSON validator. You can also copy them into Notepad, save the file with an HTML extension, and then close and reopen this file.
