Hello, I want to use Node.js in a way that allows me to do whatever I am doing through the GUI of the Node.js dashboard, like creating rule engines through flows. I want to do that through the code in Node. js-based applications. Is it possible to do so? If so, can anybody share any references to i…

@marcus-j-davies
I used the mentioned apis as per the admin apis ...to create the flow so the flow will the same as the one we created in GUI as we used ... so we will be using the same flow and pass in node and publish it but will it not be same as theGUI ?
