The Workflows connector defines the built-in functions that can be used to access other Google Cloud products within a workflow.
This page provides an overview of the individual connector. There is no need to import or load connector libraries in a workflow—connectors work out of the box when used in a call step.

Creates a Cloud Dataflow job. To create a job, we recommend using projects.locations.jobs.create with a regional endpoint. Using projects.jobs.create is not recommended, as your job will always start in us-central1.
Gets the state of the specified Cloud Dataflow job. To get the state of a job, we recommend using projects.locations.jobs.get with a regional endpoint. Using projects.jobs.get is not recommended, as you can only get the state of jobs that are running in us-central1.
Request the job status. To request the status of a job, we recommend using projects.locations.jobs.getMetrics with a regional endpoint. Using projects.jobs.getMetrics is not recommended, as you can only request the status of jobs that are running in us-central1.
List the jobs of a project. To list the jobs of a project in a region, we recommend using projects.locations.jobs.list with a regional endpoint. To list the all jobs across all regions, use projects.jobs.aggregated. Using projects.jobs.list is not recommended, as you can only get the list of jobs that are running in us-central1.
Updates the state of an existing Cloud Dataflow job. To update the state of an existing job, we recommend using projects.locations.jobs.update with a regional endpoint. Using projects.jobs.update is not recommended, as you can only update the state of jobs that are running in us-central1.
Request the job status. To request the status of a job, we recommend using projects.locations.jobs.messages.list with a regional endpoint. Using projects.jobs.messages.list is not recommended, as you can only request the status of jobs that are running in us-central1.
