Add a "New from Template" Gallery to Your SaaS in Two API Calls

Description and use

Two REST calls let SaaS apps quickly offer users ready‑made workflow templates, simplifying onboarding.

Problem

SaaS developers want to provide users with ready‑made automation workflows without requiring them to build from scratch.

Outcome

Two REST calls enable a one‑click "New from Template" experience, reducing onboarding friction.

Workflow

• Build and publish templates in ByteChef
• Expose templates via the Embedded API
• Fetch catalog with GET /automation/projects
• Copy template with POST /automation/workflow-templates/{uuid}/copy

Evidence

A "New from Template" gallery in your SaaS takes two REST calls with ByteChef Embedded: GET /automation/projects returns your curated catalog, and POST /automation/workflow-templates/{uuid}/copy clones a template into the user's own workspace.

Source

Templates live in ByteChef, not in your app. Let's build Daily standup reminder: every weekday at 9:00, post a reminder to Slack.

Source

Templates are invisible until the project is published. Open the project's ⋮ menu and click Publish: No confirmation, no validation gate — the badge just flips from DRAFT to V1 PUBLISHED.

Source

The gallery loads everything with one call: fetchAutomationWorkflowProjects() calls GET /api/embedded/v1/automation/projects.
