Notes

  • Wufoo answers a refused entry with HTTP 200 and Success: 0. This node fails the step in that case, with the reason Wufoo gave for each field, rather than reporting a submission that was never stored.
  • Entry submissions are rate limited to 50 per Wufoo user in a rolling five minutes; over that, Wufoo answers 429.

See Submit Entry run in a workflow.

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