Workflow metadata - Tracecat Docs

Overview

The ENV context exposes metadata about the current workflow run: execution IDs, run timestamps, the trigger type, and the active Workflow environment.

Using workflow metadata in expressions

Access workflow metadata in expressions with:

${{ ENV.workflow.<field> }}

execution_id: ${{ ENV.workflow.execution_id }}
trigger_type: ${{ ENV.workflow.trigger_type }}

{
  "execution_id": "wf_6dKVihiTHnzsxznV2Wku3S/exec_4itKqkgCZrLhgYiq5L211X",
  "trigger_type": "webhook"
}

When to use workflow metadata

Use workflow metadata to:

Stamp tickets, alerts, and log entries with ENV.workflow.execution_id so you can trace a record back to the run that created it
Branch on ENV.workflow.trigger_type to handle manual runs differently from webhook or scheduled runs
Record when a run started with ENV.workflow.start_time

Workflow environment

ENV.environment resolves to the Workflow environment the run executes in, the same environment that scopes secrets and variables.

See the Workflow metadata cheatsheet for the ENV field reference.
See Expressions for expression syntax and the other contexts.
See Secrets for how the Workflow environment scopes credentials.
