Utilizing workflow in python tool

I have a macro that is basically a python tool wrapped up for general use to my developers. It takes in data, converts it into parquet format, utilizes data input metadata to build an accurate Hive schema store, and places the data into an S3 bucket for ingest to our data lake. 

Process works really well, I've added a bunch of Python logging to send emails if the macro fails and any error in the python code, but I want to go a bit further.

I'd like the macro to be able to grab the metadata on the workflow it is in and place this data in a table for some logging of activity. That way we can quickly grab basic information on usage for our Admin dashboarding. 

Is there a way to grab the workflow name from any of tthe metadata in the workflow itself or use the performance profiling data since that begins with the workflow name?

Can you share the macro? I have a similar use case.
