Securely authenticate using your Workflows API key or OAuth. Store credentials safely and rotate keys every 90 days for best security.
Authenticate with Adafruit IO using an access token. Include the token in requests and keep it secret.
GET /surveys/ to fetch surveys; GET /surveys/submissions to fetch responses. You may repoint endpoints as needed for real-time or batch sync.
Trigger when new submissions arrive (GET /surveys/submissions) and pull related survey data (GET /surveys/).
Create/update Adafruit IO feeds with submission values and survey metadata.
GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions
survey_id, submission_id, value, timestamp
Real-time trigger on new submissions via GET /surveys/submissions
Stream data to Adafruit IO feeds and log events for auditing
GET /surveys/submissions
submission_id, survey_id, data
Daily pull of /surveys/ and /surveys/submissions for archival
Append records to an Adafruit IO historical feed for compliance
GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions
survey_id, submission_id, timestamp, value
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code.
Ensure real-time data flows between apps with minimal setup.
Easily audit and replicate data for reporting and compliance.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and payloads that move data between Workflows API and Adafruit IO.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving surveys.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via keys or tokens.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time data from another app when events occur.
The data sent in an API request or response.
Feed survey scores to Adafruit IO to visualize in real-time.
Trigger alerts in Adafruit IO when survey scores cross thresholds.
Store a chronological log of submissions in Adafruit IO for compliance.
Obtain API keys or tokens for both services and test access.
Choose GET endpoints and specify what data to pull.
Map fields from Workflows API to Adafruit IO feeds and test.
No coding is required for basic use. The connectors provide point-and-click setup to map fields and configure triggers. You can test endpoints directly from the UI and monitor outcomes in real-time. If you run into edge cases, consult the documentation or use the debug tools to troubleshoot.
For a basic setup, you typically need GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions. These endpoints give you survey definitions and responses to drive Adafruit IO feeds. You may expand with additional endpoints as your workflow needs grow. The UI offers guided prompts to map fields and verify data flow.
Data is transmitted over secure channels (HTTPS) with token-based authentication. Rotate keys periodically and follow least-privilege access practices to minimize risk. Enable audit logs to track access and changes.
Yes, you can configure real-time triggers to respond as soon as new submissions arrive. Depending on the endpoint, you can push data to Adafruit IO as events occur or batch them in short intervals.
Use the built-in tester to run test requests against endpoints and verify data mapping to Adafruit IO feeds. Check logs for errors and verify payload structures align with feed schemas.
Historical data can be retrieved and archived by polling /surveys/ and /surveys/submissions on a schedule and storing results in Adafruit IO. You can maintain an archival feed for compliance audits.
Logs and errors appear in the Workflows API dashboard under the Connections section. You can also enable webhook-level logs and download detailed request/response traces for debugging.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
