[Bug / REST API Issue] Programmatically creating Automations via REST API / MCP fails to save sequences

Hi FluentCRM Team & Community,

I am attempting to programmatically create and configure FluentCRM Automation flows (Funnels) via REST API using an AI agent / MCP integration. However, I’ve encountered an issue where the Automation Sequences (Canvas Nodes) fail to save or be imported.

Here is a summary of the technical behavior observed:

1. POST /wp-json/fluent-crm/v2/funnels/import

When importing a full Automation JSON schema via the API endpoint, the API successfully creates the Funnel title and WooCommerce Trigger (e.g. woocommerce_order_status_processing), but completely ignores and strips out the sequences array. As a result, opening the imported Automation in the visual builder shows an empty canvas.

2. POST /wp-json/fluent-crm/v2/funnels/funnel/save-funnel-sequences

When sending a payload containing sequence nodes (e.g. action_name: "send_custom_email") to the sequence endpoint:

• Payload sent: JSON stringified array of sequence objects containing funnel_id, parent_id, action_name, and settings.
• API Response: {"sequences":[],"message":"Sequence successfully updated"}
• Result: The API purges the sequence nodes and returns an empty sequences array, leaving the canvas empty in the admin UI.

Questions / Request:

1. Is there a specific REST API endpoint or required payload format to programmatically inject/save visual canvas sequence nodes (e.g., send_custom_email) into a Funnel?
2. Is the import endpoint intended to support importing full sequences via REST API, or is this a known API limitation?

Any insights or recommended code snippets/hooks to achieve this programmatically would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
