Configuration
3 fields, 2 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
submission_id The numeric id of the Formstack submission to act on. | string | Yes | — | — | 512345678 |
fields The field values to write, as a list of {"id", "value"} objects where id is the numeric Formstack field id. | array | Yes | — | ≥ 1 characters; array of object | [{"id":"123456","value":"jane@example.com"}] |
read Mark the submission as already read instead of leaving it unread. | boolean | No | false | — | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"fields": [
{
"id": "123456",
"value": "jane@example.com"
}
],
"read": false,
"submission_id": "512345678"
}Output
One shape.

In a technical demo we add the Formstack connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
