Configuration
2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
form_id The form to file the submissions against. | string | Yes | — | — | 240123456789012 |
submissions A JSON array of submissions, each an object of question id to value: [{"1": {"text": "answer of Question 1"}}]. Jotform takes this call as a raw JSON body rather than a form post. | array | Yes | — | ≥ 1 characters; array of object | [{"1":{"text":"answer of Question 1"}}] |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"form_id": "240123456789012",
"submissions": [
{
"1": {
"text": "answer of Question 1"
}
}
]
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
result Jotform's response for the batch, exactly as returned — one {submissionID, URL} entry per row it accepted. Jotform documents no per-row status here, so nothing is flattened into an ok/fail verdict. | array | — |
submitted How many rows were sent, when the array was countable. | number | — |
limit_left API calls the account has left today, as Jotform reports them in 'limit-left'. | number | — |
{
"limit_left": 0,
"result": [],
"submitted": 0
}Notes
- Jotform reports no per-row outcome for the bulk call — check 'result' before treating every row as filed.
See Create Submissions (bulk) run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Jotform connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
