Is there a way to get message id when trigger the workflow from the backend?
This is so the backend can save a history of messages sent, and request delete if needed. The https://docs.novu.co/workflows/messages#delete-a-message uses messageId, but the responsed from novu.trigger returns transcationId. Alternatively is there an API to delete message by transcationId?

Yes, there is an API available in Novu that allows you to delete messages by their
transactionId. This is particularly useful when you want to handle message deletion based on the transaction ID, which is returned when a workflow is triggered. The API endpoint for deleting messages by transactionId is documented and can be used to delete all messages associated with a specific transactionId (1) .
Here is an example of how you can use this API:
This method ensures that you can programmatically manage the deletion of messages sent as part of a transaction, even if the direct message IDs are not returned when the workflow is initially triggered.Glad I could be helpful. Feel free to create a new thread with any new questions you may have.
