We have a WF that needs the repository ID to make a web request to the LF API. Is there a global variable we can use to put in the repository ID input parameter and not have to change it on new sites?

Yes, if the workflow has a starting entry, a token called "Entry Repository" is generated with the ID of the repository where that entry resides. It can be found in the "Global" category in the token menu.

Thank you! So just wanted to confirm, if there is no starting entry then this global token is not accessible any other way?

@████████ The find entry activity does not return the Repository directly, but it does return the the Server which you can filter the Repository from with a Regular Expression or a split on "."

Thank you! Might use this as a workaround.
