# Get a feedback record

> Returns one feedback record by id. The gateway looks the record up to learn its dataset and
authorizes against that, so no `tenant_id` is sent. Requires an API key with **read**
permission (or higher) on a workspace the record's dataset is assigned to.

An unknown id, or one in a dataset you cannot read, answers **403** rather than 404, so ids
cannot be probed. The exception is the minute after a delete: the gateway still has the
record's dataset cached, authorizes the call, and the store answers **404**.

    **DELETE /api/v3/surveys/{surveyId}**.


    **Workflows extension**: **GET /api/v3/workflows**, **POST
    /api/v3/workflows**, **GET /api/v3/workflows/{workflowId}**, **PATCH

    Authenticate all management endpoints with **session cookie** or
    **`x-api-key`** (management key with access to the workspace).


    **Spec location:** source of truth is the multi-file tree at
    `docs/api-v3-reference/src/` (root `openapi.yml` plus one file per path and
    component); `docs/api-v3-reference/openapi.yml` is the generated single-file
    bundle (alongside v2 at `docs/api-v2-reference/openapi.yml`).


    **workspaceId**

    `workspaceId` is the canonical container identifier for this API. It is a
    **required query parameter on collection read endpoints** (`GET
    /api/v3/surveys`, `GET /api/v3/action-classes`, `GET
    /api/v3/contact-attribute-keys`) because those operate within a workspace.
    **`POST /api/v3/surveys` instead requires `workspaceId` in the request
    body**, not as a query parameter. Single-resource endpoints
    (`GET`/`PATCH`/`DELETE /api/v3/surveys/{surveyId}`) locate the resource by
    its globally-unique id and resolve the workspace from it, so they do **not**
    accept a `workspaceId` query parameter — sending one returns **400**
    (`Unrecognized key: "workspaceId"`).


    **Auth**

    Authenticate with either a session cookie or **`x-api-key`**. In dual-auth
    mode, V3 checks the API key first when the header is present, otherwise it
    uses the session path. Unauthenticated callers get **401** before query
    validation.


    **Pagination**

    Cursor-based pagination with **limit** + opaque **cursor** token. Responses
    return `meta.nextCursor`; pass that value back as `cursor` to fetch the next
    page. Survey list responses also include `meta.totalCount`, the total number
    of surveys matching the current filters across all pages. Workflow list
    responses do not require total counts in Scope 1. There is no `offset` in
    this contract.


    **Filtering**

    Filters use explicit operator-style query parameters under the
    **`filter[...]` family**. The survey list supports `filter[name][contains]`,
    `filter[status][in]`, and `filter[type][in]`. The workflow list supports
    `filter[name][contains]` and `filter[status][in]`; the workflow run list
    supports `filter[status][in]` and `filter[isDryRun][eq]`. Resource-scoping
    identifiers (`workspaceId`, `workflowId`, `responseId`) stay plain query
    parameters. Multi-value filters use repeated keys or comma-separated values
    (e.g. `filter[status][in]=draft&filter[status][in]=inProgress` or
    `filter[status][in]=draft,inProgress`). Sorting remains a flat `sortBy`
    query parameter.


    **Security**

    Missing/forbidden workspace returns **403** with a generic message (not
    **404**) so resource existence is not leaked. Workflow and workflow-run
    detail endpoints also return **403** for unknown IDs or inaccessible IDs to
    avoid IDOR leaks. List responses use `private, no-store`.


    **AI survey creation**

    `POST /api/v3/surveys/generate` returns a draft `POST /api/v3/surveys`
    payload plus validation metadata. It does not create a survey. It generates
    survey content for both `link` and `app` surveys; for `app` it seeds a
    default `distribution` (display once, no triggers, no targeting) that you
    finish configuring before publishing.

    Prompt text is sent to the configured AI provider for generation, but it is
    not stored by this endpoint, not logged by default, and not included in
    audit data.


    **Feedback Records** `/api/v3/feedbackRecords` is served by the **API
    gateway** (Envoy on Formbricks Cloud, Traefik in the one-click Docker
    install), which authorizes each call against the dataset and forwards it to
    the feedback store — not by the application routes that serve the rest of
    v3. Three consequences: the payload is the store's own, so members and
    filters are **`snake_case`** (`tenant_id`, `value_text`) rather than v3's
    camelCase; the dataset is named **`tenant_id`** on the wire and is required
    on every collection operation (it is the feedback dataset id, which the MCP
    `list_feedback_datasets` tool reports as `dataset_id`); and errors come in
    two shapes — gateway refusals (**400**, **401**, **403**, **413**, **503**)
    are `text/plain`, while the store's own problems are
    `application/problem+json` with a stable `code`. These eight operations are
    the whole of the gateway-served surface; any other path it receives under
    the prefix answers **400**. Authenticate with **`x-api-key`**: the key needs
    a permission on a workspace the dataset is assigned to — `read` to list, get
    and search, `write` to create and update, `manage` to delete — and may
    update or delete only in a dataset assigned to exactly one workspace.

    **OpenAPI**

    This spec is **not** produced by `pnpm generate-api-specs` (that script only
    builds v2 → `docs/api-v2-reference/openapi.yml`). When the route contract
    changes, edit the files under `docs/api-v3-reference/src/`, then run `pnpm
    api:v3:bundle` to regenerate the committed single-file bundle. `pnpm
    api:v3:lint` lints the source tree; `pnpm api:v3:check` (CI) fails when the
    bundle is stale.


    **Workflows Scope 1**

    Workflows are a follow-up extension of the existing v3 Survey API work. The
    Survey API establishes API-first survey authoring; Workflows build on that
    same v3 style to automate actions around survey responses through
    workspace-scoped JSON definitions. Scope 1 models the existing Follow-ups
    capability as workflows: one `response.completed` trigger with an optional
    `endingCardIds` filter, and `send_email` actions with Follow-up email field
    parity. The definition and run shapes mirror the shared Zod schemas in
    `packages/workflows` (ENG-1100), which are the implementation source of
    truth for this contract.


    Workflows use `draft`, `enabled`, and `disabled` lifecycle states plus an
    `archived` soft-delete state. Status only changes through the lifecycle
    endpoints (`enable`, `disable`, `archive`, `unarchive`); it is not writable
    via `POST` or `PATCH`. Enabling validates that the definition is executable
    and snapshots an immutable workflow version; runs reference that snapshot
    via `workflowVersionId`. `POST .../test` is a dry run: it validates the
    definition and resolves the trigger's references synchronously, creating no
    run and sending no email, and returns `{ workflowId, ok, problems }`
    directly. Real runs execute asynchronously and are polled via `GET
    /api/v3/workflows/runs/{runId}`.


    **Overview migration note**

    The v3-backed survey overview page intentionally removes actions that are
    not yet exposed by this contract: `Created by` filtering, `Duplicate`,
    `Copy...`, `Preview`, and `Copy link`.


    **Next steps (out of scope for this spec)**

    Additional v3 survey update endpoints, optional ETag/304, field selection,
    translation-specific writes, and survey version history.

        RFC 9457 problem details (`application/problem+json`) as produced by the
        feedback store behind the API gateway. Branch on the stable `code`
        member rather than on `title` or `type`. Note the member names differ
        from the rest of v3 (`request_id`, not `requestId`) — the payload is
        passed through unchanged.

            feature or dependency is temporarily unavailable and the request may
            be retried later; `tenant_write_conflict` means the write collided
            with an in-progress dataset purge and may be retried unchanged.
            Every other code is terminal until the request itself changes.

    FeedbackRecordsBadRequest:
      description: >-
        Bad Request. From the **gateway** (`text/plain`): a missing or malformed
        `tenant_id`, a request body that is not JSON, or a path under
        `/api/v3/feedbackRecords` that is not one of the documented operations.
        A record id that is not a UUID and a path such as `/count` both fall in
        that last case and share the one `Unsupported FeedbackRecords route`
        body, so the two cannot be told apart from the response. From the
        **feedback store** (`application/problem+json`): schema validation
        failures — an unknown enum value, an inverted range, a malformed or
        re-ordered cursor, or a string with NULL bytes or invalid UTF-8.

    FeedbackRecordsUnauthorized:
      description: >-
        Unauthorized — no credentials, or an API key that does not exist or is

    FeedbackRecordsForbidden:
      description: >-
        Forbidden. Answered by the gateway as `text/plain` whenever the request
        cannot be authorized: the dataset does not exist, is archived, or is not
        assigned to a workspace the API key has the required permission on; the
        organization lacks the Unify Feedback entitlement; a mutation was
        attempted with an API key on a dataset shared by more than one
        workspace; or the record id does not exist. Existence is not leaked: an
        unknown dataset or record is refused here rather than with a 404. The
        single-record operations are the one exception, and only for a minute
        after a delete — see their `404`.

    FeedbackRecordsRecordNotFound:
      description: >-
        Not Found from the feedback store (`application/problem+json`, `code:
        not_found`). The record was deleted after the gateway resolved its
        dataset: that lookup is cached for 60 seconds, so for up to a minute
        after a delete the call is still authorized and reaches the store, which
        no longer has the record. Once the cache entry expires the same id
        answers **403** instead. Treat both as "this record is not available to
        you".

    FeedbackRecordsServiceUnavailable:
      description: >-
        Service Unavailable. From the **gateway** (`text/plain`): the record's
        dataset could not be resolved because the feedback store did not answer,
        the authorization service itself was unreachable, or the record's stored
        `tenant_id` is not a dataset id this API can address. From the
        **feedback store** (`application/problem+json`, `code:
        service_unavailable`): the operation needs a capability that is not
        configured on this instance — semantic search and similar records
        require an embedding model.
