Is there any way to get the workflow ID right after starting it?

[oncet]

From the documentation I know that I can get the workflow ID from inside an activity using $this->workflowId(), is there any way to get it from the workflow itself after starting it?

Something like:

$workflow = WorkflowStub::make(MyWorkflow::class);
$workflow->start();

$workflow->id;

Tried a few different combinations without any luck.

It is a method on the workflow instead of a property.

$workflow->id();

I was so close! Thank you. Wonder if this is mentioned in the docs somewhere.

It’s mentioned on https://laravel-workflow.com/docs/defining-workflows/starting-workflows but maybe I should put it in the workflowId section too.

I think that would help. It would be really great if the docs had some sort of search feature like Algolia or similar.
