  const { data, errors } = await linkedapi.checkConnectionStatus.result(workflow.workflowId);

  // The list of possible execution errors is below
  if (errors && errors.length > 0) {
    console.warn('Workflow completed with execution errors:');
    errors.forEach(error => {
      console.warn(` - Type: ${error.type}, Message: ${error.message}`);
    });
  }

  // The structure of the 'data' object is below
  if (data) {
    console.log('Connection status:', data.connectionStatus);
    console.log('Workflow completed successfully. Data:', data);
  }
} catch (e) {
  // A list of all critical errors can be found here:
  // https://linkedapi.io/sdks/handling-results-and-errors/#handling-critical-errors
  if (e instanceof LinkedApiError) {

    )

    result = linkedapi.check_connection_status.result(workflow.workflow_id)
