New Post: SP2013 - StartWorkflow

I've posted a question at SharePoint Exchange as well for my non-SPServices efforts. They might correspond to the issue above as well, so here's the link to provide more information on the problem I have at hand.

As the end goal is to launch StartWorkflow, perhaps a workaround would be to manually retrieve the template ID. Is there a way to achieve this in SharePoint 2013? It seems that in 2010 the templateID was part of the query string when reviewing the workflow change screen, but now all I see are the list GUID and subscription GUID.

Thanks again.
