Create and asynchronously activate a deployment version. Not idempotent: every call mints a new version, so a retry after a timeout creates a second one. A deployment that would conflict with an existing webhook path is a 409. A workspace API key is rejected with 403; use a personal API key.
/api/v2/workflows/{id}/deployAuthorization
apiKey Your Sim API key, personal or workspace-scoped. Generate one under Settings, then API Keys. Operations that reject workspace keys say so in their own description.
