Wufoo Trigger

Triggers when a new entry is submitted on a Wufoo form

Overview

Receives webhook notifications from Wufoo when a new form entry is submitted. The incoming payload is form-encoded and includes a FieldStructure JSON descriptor that maps field IDs to human-readable titles and types. The trigger parses field values by type (text, file, address, checkbox, likert, shortname) and outputs a clean key-value object keyed by field title. When Only Answers is disabled, the output includes full metadata: createdBy, entryId, dateCreated, formId, formStructure, fieldStructure, and the parsed entries. Wufoo verifies webhook authenticity via a HandshakeKey that must match the value registered during webhook creation. Useful for automating form response processing, data collection workflows, survey analysis, and CRM integrations triggered by Wufoo form submissions.

Credentials

This tool requires Wufoo credentials. See the Credentials Guide for setup instructions.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Form	string	Yes	—	The hash identifier of the Wufoo form to monitor for new submissions. You can find the form hash in your Wufoo account by listing forms via the API (GET /api/v3/forms.json) or in the form URL.
Only Answers	boolean	No	true	Whether to return only the answers of the form and not any of the other data. When disabled, the output includes createdBy, entryId, dateCreated, formId, formStructure, fieldStructure, and entries.

Output Data

Each submission produces one output item. Every item carries:

• _trigger — always wufoo_webhook
• _timestamp — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the submission was received
• _webhookEvent — always form_submission

With Only Answers on (the default), the parsed answers sit directly on the item, one key per field using the field’s title as the key.

With Only Answers off, the answers move under entries and the item also carries:

• createdBy — the Wufoo user recorded on the entry
• entryId — the Wufoo entry ID
• dateCreated — the entry’s creation timestamp
• formId — the ID of the form the entry belongs to
• formStructure — the parsed form descriptor Wufoo sent
• fieldStructure — the parsed field descriptor Wufoo sent
• entries — the parsed answers, keyed by field title

Answer values are shaped by field type: file fields become the uploaded file’s URL, address / likert / short-name fields become objects keyed by sub-field label, checkbox fields become an array of the ticked values, and everything else is the submitted value.

Reference the payload downstream by expression, e.g. {{ $json["Email Address"] }}.

Usage Examples

• Start a workflow when someone submits a Wufoo contact form
• Capture survey responses from Wufoo and sync to a spreadsheet
• Trigger a notification when a Wufoo registration form is submitted
• Automate data collection from Wufoo forms into a CRM

Example Configuration

Answers only — the simplest shape to work with:

{
  "type": "wufoo_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "form": "abc123def",
    "onlyAnswers": true
  }
}

Full metadata envelope, when you need the entry ID and form structure as well:

{
  "type": "wufoo_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "form": "abc123def",
    "onlyAnswers": false
  }
}

Trigger Behavior

• Activation: When the workflow is activated, a webhook endpoint is registered with the service.
• Deactivation: The webhook is automatically unregistered when the workflow is deactivated.
• Payload: The incoming webhook payload is parsed and output as workflow items.
• Verification: Supports signature verification where applicable.

Tips

Entry point that fires when Wufoo sends a webhook for a new form submission. Configure the Form ID (hash) to monitor and optionally set Only Answers to false to include full metadata (createdBy, entryId, dateCreated, formStructure, fieldStructure) alongside parsed entries. Wufoo sends form-encoded data with a HandshakeKey for verification and a FieldStructure JSON that describes all form fields. The trigger parses values by field type (text, file URL, address, checkbox, likert, shortname) into a clean object keyed by field title.
