As of March 5th, 2024, all Formstack Forms plans come with the new Workflows functionality which means any Forms user can automate workflows and set up form to form prefill. Whether you're on the go or kicking back at home, our intuitive solution lets your team submit PTO requests with ease and from any device.

In this video demo, we will be walking through the simple step-by-step process of using Forms and Workflows to automate a process like a PTO request. 

Tools Needed

Today, this powerful functionality is available on any Formstack Forms plan.

Instructions

Setting up your enhanced workflows is straightforward and can be broken down into five simple steps:

Step 1: Select your forms. Choose or build the form that you want to capture employee data on and the form you want to prefill.

Step 2: Create a new workflow. Once your form is ready, drag and drop your Forms steps onto your workflow.

Step 5: Deploy your workflow: Once you're confident in your setup, activate your workflow to start automating your processes.
