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 add the webhook to. | string | Yes | — | — | 240123456789012 |
webhook_url The http:// or https:// URL Jotform should POST each new submission to. | string | Yes | — | url format | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"form_id": "240123456789012"
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
webhook_id The index the URL came back under, which is the handle a delete takes. Empty when Jotform's response did not contain the URL. | string | — |
webhook_url The URL that was sent. | string | — |
registered True only when the URL is present in Jotform's response — Jotform answers with the form's whole webhook list and ignores a duplicate URL silently. | boolean | — |
webhooks Every webhook on the form after the call, by index. | object | — |
count How many webhooks the form has now. | number | — |
limit_left API calls the account has left today, as Jotform reports them in 'limit-left'. | number | — |
{
"count": 0,
"limit_left": 0,
"registered": false,
"webhook_id": "",
"webhook_url": "",
"webhooks": {}
}Notes
- Jotform returns no webhook id of its own: the handle is the URL's position in the form's list, so it shifts when an earlier webhook is deleted.
- Jotform posts multipart/form-data and signs nothing, so point this at a system that can accept that — not at a Mantle webhook trigger.
See Create Form Webhook 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.
