Django wagtail submit snippet to workflow pragmatically

I have created a product snippet as suggested here to ensure they go to a workflow. This is because I do not want products they create or update to automatically appear to the public. I would like to approve them first.

However when I pragmatically update the snippet and do

instance.save()

It doesn't go to my workflow.

If i try save a revision it also still doesn't go to my workflow.

instance.save_revision()

What is the correct way so that when my user creates or updates their products they go to my workflow?

@gasman provided an answer that worked for the most part but you have to add the following before, in the event you are creating a new snippet.

instance.save_revision()
workflow = instance.get_workflow()
workflow.start(instance, user)

This is because you will get an error that your revision_id is null and violates a constraint.

According to the documentation, the RevisionMixin and DraftMixin are perquisites for WorkflowMixin.

If anyone who supports Wagtail is reading, there is a lot in the way of improving your documentation that could be done.

Following the logic from the code that handles submitting to a workflow within the admin interface, a newly-created instance that is not already in a workflow can be submitted to a workflow as follows:

workflow = instance.get_workflow()
workflow.start(instance, user)
