Templates are reusable blueprints that transform business processes into self-driving workflows by capturing every step and decision point while automatically assigning tasks sending reminders and tracking progress to eliminate process variations and reduce completion time by 40%.
Convert BPMN into templates
To convert BPMN diagrams into Tallyfy templates, simply recreate your process logic using Tallyfy’s intuitive step-by-step builder - no technical expertise required. You’ll build executable workflows that everyone can actually use.
Here’s the thing: many organizations have invested heavily in BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagrams. They’re standardized, sure. But they’re also sitting in folders gathering dust. Tallyfy transforms these complex diagrams into living, breathing workflows that your team will actually follow.
Let’s be honest - BPMN diagrams can be a nightmare. You’ve probably experienced at least one of these frustrations:
- Complex Symbolism: Those diamonds, circles, and gateways? Your team needs weeks of training just to read them properly
- Static Documentation: Beautiful diagrams that just… sit there. They can’t actually run anything
- Technical Barriers: Ask your accounting team to interpret a BPMN diagram. Watch their eyes glaze over
- Modification Complexity: Want to change a single step? Better call IT and block out half your afternoon
- Implementation Gap: There’s always that awkward moment when you realize the diagram looks nothing like how people actually work
This is where it gets good. Tallyfy takes everything frustrating about BPMN and flips it:
- Run your processes: Your templates become actual workflows. Launch them, track them, complete them. Done.
- No coding needed: Forget specialized software. If you can fill out a form, you can build a process
- Easy to use: Your entire team gets it instantly - from interns to executives
- Live updates: Change a step? It’s live immediately. No deployment cycles or version control headaches
- Built-in tracking: See exactly where every process stands. No more “let me check on that” emails
Remember those complex BPMN patterns you learned in that certification course? Tallyfy handles them all - just without the headache:
| BPMN Pattern (Technical Term) | Tallyfy Implementation (How Tallyfy does it) |
|---|---|
| Sequential Flow | Steps happen one after another (use automation rules to enforce) |
| Parallel Split (AND) | Multiple steps happen at the same time (default behavior) |
| Exclusive Gateway (XOR)1 | Rules decide which single path to take next |
| Inclusive Gateway (OR)2 | Rules decide which path(s) to take next |
| Synchronization | Waiting for multiple steps to finish |
| Structured Loop | Repeating steps within a process |
| Deferred Choice | Rules decide who gets assigned a task |
Want to see exactly how to build each pattern? We’ve created a complete guide with real examples:

You’ll find:
- Step-by-step walkthroughs for every pattern (with screenshots)
- Real-world examples from actual customers
- Shortcuts that’ll save you hours
Ready to make the switch? Here’s your roadmap:
- Study your BPMN diagram - identify the main steps, decision points, and who’s responsible for what (this usually takes 10-15 minutes)
- Map the core logic - what happens in sequence? Where do paths split? Simple.
- Create a new template in Tallyfy
- Build your workflow - add steps, assign them to the right people, and set up your automation rules. It’s like building with blocks
- Add the details - drop in your form fields, configure decision rules, and set up automations
- Test run - launch a test process and walk through it. You’ll spot any issues immediately
- Go live - Launch the real thing and watch your team actually follow the process
The best part? You can do this entire conversion in under an hour for most processes.
How To > Effective operations manuals
Building an operations manual requires transforming static documentation into dynamic digital workflows with clear ownership logical organization rich media content and continuous improvement mechanisms to ensure consistent quality and effective execution across teams.
Process Improvement > Understand process flow without flowcharts
Tallyfy templates provide an intuitive alternative to traditional flowcharts by allowing you to define sequential processes visualize real-time workflow status through tracker views identify bottlenecks using analytics and easily optimize flow through step reordering conditional logic and parallel processing capabilities.
Tallyfy tutorials provide step-by-step guidance to create templates launch automated workflows and master essential features within 15-30 minutes helping teams transform their business processes from setup to implementation.
