1. Form Submissions Not Working

Understanding the Issue

Users are unable to submit forms in Kissflow, experiencing validation errors or unexpected failures.

Root Causes

Incorrect form field validations.
Network or browser-related issues.
Permission restrictions on form submission.

Fix

Ensure required fields are properly configured:

Kissflow → Form Designer → Check field validation settings

Try submitting the form in an incognito browser to rule out cache issues.

Verify user permissions:

Kissflow → Admin Panel → User Roles & Permissions

2. Automation Rules Not Triggering

Understanding the Issue

Configured automation rules in Kissflow do not execute as expected.

Root Causes

Incorrect rule configuration.
Delay in workflow execution.
Conflicts with other automation rules.

Fix

Ensure the automation trigger conditions are met:

Kissflow → Workflow Automation → Check Trigger Conditions

Manually trigger the automation to verify execution:

Kissflow → Automation → Test Run

Check automation logs for execution errors:

Kissflow → Reports → Workflow Logs

3. Integration Failures

Understanding the Issue

Third-party integrations (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, Zapier) do not work as expected.

Root Causes

Incorrect API authentication or expired access tokens.
Misconfigured webhook URLs.
Integration service downtime or connectivity issues.

Fix

Reauthenticate API keys and integration tokens:

Kissflow → Integrations → Reconnect API

Validate webhook configurations:

Kissflow → API/Webhook Settings → Verify Endpoint URL

Check the status of third-party integration services:

status.google.com, status.zapier.com

4. Kissflow Running Slow

Understanding the Issue

Workflows and dashboards load slowly, affecting usability.

Root Causes

Excessive workflow steps and automation rules.
Large dataset processing causing high resource usage.
Network latency issues on the user’s end.

Fix

Optimize workflows by reducing unnecessary steps:

Kissflow → Workflow Editor → Simplify Logic

Paginate large datasets instead of loading everything at once:

Kissflow → Reports → Enable Pagination

Check browser developer tools for network delays:

F12 → Network Tab → Analyze Load Time

5. User Permissions Issues

Understanding the Issue

Users cannot access workflows, forms, or automation rules despite having appropriate roles.

Root Causes

Incorrect user role assignments.
Restricted permissions on workflow stages.
Temporary user session conflicts.

Fix

Verify user roles and permissions:

Kissflow → Admin → User Roles

Manually assign workflow access:

Kissflow → Workflows → Assign Permissions

Ask users to log out and log back in to refresh permissions.

Conclusion

Kissflow is a robust workflow automation platform, but troubleshooting form submission failures, automation rule errors, integration problems, performance bottlenecks, and permission issues is essential for smooth operation. By optimizing workflow configurations, verifying integration settings, and ensuring correct user permissions, organizations can maximize Kissflow’s efficiency.
