    Hi In2_JotForm1,

    Hello,

    You can now get the workflow status on our endpoints:

    GET /submission/{submissionID}
    
GET /form/{formID}/submissions

    It can be seen as "workflowStatus" in the API response. You will get a response something like this:

    {
    
"responseCode": 200,
    
"message": "success",
    
"content": {
    
"id": "SUBMISSION-ID",
    
"form_id": "FORM-ID",
    
"ip": "SOME-IP-ADDR",
    
"created_at": "2022-01-28 04:45:57",
    
"status": "ACTIVE",
    
"new": "0",
    
"flag": "0",
    
"notes": "",
    
"updated_at": "2022-01-28 04:46:20",
    
"answers": {},
    
"workflowStatus": "Approve"
    
},
    
"duration": "95.28ms"
    
}

    By default, if the submission is denied status will be "Deny" and if the submission is approved status will be "Approve".

    You may wonder why don't just return "APPROVED" or "DENIED" as API response. That's because Jotform supports custom workflow actions:

    In this workflow if you select Custom, in the API response workflowStatus will be "Custom".
