The request names no specific product, so the candidates are workflow orchestration platforms that expose programmatic doors. Apache Airflow offers a stable API for authoring, scheduling and monitoring workflows 111, Google Cloud Workflows exposes a Workflows API to get, list and create workflows 717, and Zapier provides an MCP server, SDK and workflow-creation actions 313.
A question back: Which workflow API do you need: a general orchestrator such as Airflow or Prefect, or a cloud-hosted one such as Google Cloud Workflows, and which platform or cloud are you on?
