Workflows is the default pipeline: a .jsonc envelope under base44/workflows/ is live once written. An app whose profile says automation_pipeline: legacy_automations uses the automations reference instead.
Requires the Builder plan or above. The workspace's entitlement is reported by the agent-profile endpoint; on a lower plan the platform rejects the deploy.
Pick the reference for this app
Determine the app profile first. Call GET /api/apps/{app_id}/agent-profile (over the Base44 MCP execute_api
tool, or with your Base44 CLI token); it returns the framework, app type, runtime,
entitlements and the exact reference files to read. Without it, detect from the project files:
src/routes/__root.* and src/routeTree.gen.ts mean TanStack Start; app/_layout.* means a
native mobile (Expo) app; otherwise it is a Vite SPA.
