Steps
Wait for the target workflow_run to reach a completed status (via webhook or by polling the workflow run resource)
Trigger Timeline File generation for that workflow run from the Studio Dashboard or via the API
Poll or wait for the timeline file generation job to finish before attempting to fetch it
Download the generated PDF, which documents each task/step outcome across the workflow run
Store the PDF alongside the applicant's case record to satisfy audit and regulatory retention requirements
Known gotchas
Timeline File (workflow audit trail) is a distinct artifact from the ETSI-certified signed Evidence File — confirm which one your compliance requirement actually calls for
Generation is asynchronous; fetching immediately after triggering it can return a not-ready response
Only applies to Studio workflow runs, not standalone legacy checks created outside a workflow
