A response is missing from my dashboard

If a respondent says they submitted but you don't see the response, work through these in order.

Step 1: Confirm the submission really happened

Ask the respondent to forward you the confirmation screen they saw. If they didn't reach the thank-you screen, the submission probably failed on their end (likely a validation error or network blip).

If they reached the thank-you screen, the response was saved — keep going.

Step 2: Check your filters and view

In the responses page, make sure:

  • You're on the Table view (Individual / Summary may not show every response).
  • No column filters are active.
  • The right form is selected from the form picker.

Step 3: Check the time range

The responses table sorts newest-first by default. Check the date / time of the missing submission and scroll back to that point in the list.

Step 4: Check your response limit at submission time

If you were close to or over your monthly response cap when the respondent submitted, the submission may have been rejected with a "limit reached" error.

Open Account settingsPlan to see your current count and limit. If the count is at the cap, that's likely why.

Step 5: Check the webhook (if you rely on it for downstream systems)

If you process responses via webhook, the webhook itself might have failed silently — but the response should still show in the NodumForms dashboard. If it's missing from BOTH the dashboard and your webhook destination, the submission was rejected somewhere upstream.

Step 6: Contact support

If you've ruled all of the above out, email support@nodumforms.com with:

  • The form URL.
  • The respondent's approximate submission timestamp (within an hour is fine).
  • Any answer values you remember — helps us identify the row in logs.

We can usually find a trace within an hour.

Either the form is unpublished, or it has a Closes at date in form settings that's now in the past. Republish from the builder or clear / extend the Closes at field.
