We recently created a survey to gather feedback from users, and thought it would be a great idea to add a simple SharePoint Designer Workflow to the survey that kicks off automatically that simply sends an email back to the user thanking them for their submission. It was very easy to create the workflow and attach it to the survey but once we tried it out we kept seeing the following error:
Failed on Start (retrying)
Well, according to the following KB article, for some unknown reason, workflow is not supported on surveys even though the interface through the browser and SharePoint Designer doesn't indicate any problems with it
