Best way to cancel a currently in-progress workflow?
Probably easier to describe what I am trying to do. If a user signs up for newsletters, this triggers a workflow with n emails. The emails are spaced out by days. If the user signs up for a subscription while this workflow is "in progress" I want to cancel this workflow so I can start them on a different workflow. I know that when I trigger the workflow originally I get a transaction id, is there a way to get the current "in progress" transactions for a subscriber so I can cancel the remaining unsent emails? Or do I need to store the transaction Id originally and keep track of what is active/not?

Hi @ebm
Could you please explain these statements with more info?
1.
The emails are spaced out by days
2. I want to cancel this workflow so I can start them on a different workflow.here's part of the workflow in novu ui
so the workflow could be "active" or "in progress" for many days
let's say they get 2 emails, then decide they want to subscribe, they don't need the remaining emails in this workflow, so I want to cancel it (it's really irrelevant that I will start a new workflow)
I know there are API calls to cancel a workflow if you have a transaction Id, but my real question is, can I get the "active" workflows for a given subscriberId
@ebm, you just advanced to level 2!
Hi @ebm
Thanks for sharing the usecase.
Currently get notifications api does not have an option to fetch using worflow execution status
