                "delay": 0
            }),

let created_workflow = create_workflow(new_workflow).await?;
println!("Created workflow: {} (ID: {})", created_workflow.name, created_workflow.id);

        println!("Successfully created workflow: {}", workflow.name);
        println!("Workflow ID: {}", workflow.id);
        println!("Number of steps: {}", workflow.steps.len());
    }
    Err(Error::Api { status, message, .. }) => {
        match status.as_u16() {
            400 => println!("Invalid request: {}", message),
            403 => println!("Access denied: {}", message),
            409 => println!("Workflow name already exists: {}", message),
            _ => println!("API error {}: {}", status, message),
        }
    }
    Err(e) => println!("Request failed: {}", e),
