Questions

I am trying to activate a workflow using the n8n API. I am using the PATCH method for API https://thechange.app.n8n.cloud/rest/workflows/workflow-id, I also tried with https://thechange.app.n8n.cloud/api/v1/workflows/workflow-id/activate and passing the header X-N8N-API-KEY with the API key. I am getting the unauthorized error everytime in response.
