Determine if Workflow is running via scheduled Gallery run, or via desktop Designer?

[Scott_Snowman]

I have a workflow that pulls data from a database, formats and saves it to a file, and then emails that file to a recipient list. Currently we have this running in our Company's gallery once a week.

I have a request to modify the body of the workflow to go to a different recipient list for different days of the week, which I've solved. However, I'd like to dynamically detect in the workflow if it's being run by a person manually in Designer or as an automatically scheduled run. (If it's run manually, I only want the results file to go to the owner of the workflow and not the recipient list(s).)

Is there a way to detect the run environment as a parameter within an IF - THEN - ELSE statement? It looks like the Engine.GuiInteraction constant might work but the documentation on the constant doesn't clarify what happens if the workflow is running in the Gallery.

@Scott_Snowman I can confirm that [Engine.GuiInteraction]="1" will return true on designer desktop and false in the gallery. You can put that inside an if then else.
