Forms

Complete a submission

POST/submissions/{id}/actions/complete
forms:writecomplete_submissionIdempotent

Moves a draft to completed: runs every field's validator, including required checks, and stamps the completion time. From completed it is a no-op that answers 200 and sends nothing. A failed check is 422 keyed answers.<field id>; a form that forbids completion is 409 invalid_state. Emits form.submitted and submission.updated; sends no email. It can't be undone through the API.

Path parameters

  • idstring (uuid)Required#

    The submission's id, a uuid. An unknown id, or a submission you cannot see, returns 404.

Query parameters

  • dry_runboolean#

    Validate and run the call without committing it, returning what the real call would return with meta.dry_run set.

Headers

  • Idempotency-Keystring#

    Makes a retry safe. Send a new UUID for each new request and reuse it only to retry that request; the first response is replayed for 24 hours.

Responses
