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.
Challenges with traditional BPMN diagrams
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
Advantages of Tallyfy over BPMN
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
Tallyfy equivalents for BPMN patterns
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)
Tallyfy transforms traditional operations manuals from static documentation into dynamic digital workflows by converting existing documents into interactive processes with automated rules clear ownership structures rich media support real-time tracking and continuous improvement mechanisms that ensure consistent execution across teams and devices.
Templates in Tallyfy serve as reusable workflow blueprints that capture every step and decision point in business processes and when launched they automatically assign tasks send reminders and track progress while enabling organizations to document their best practices once and run them consistently thousands of times with the ability to improve based on real data and feedback.
Tallyfy enables you to visualize and optimize how work flows through your organization by creating sequential templates that show real-time progress through tracker views and analytics which automatically reveal bottlenecks and delays without requiring complex flowcharts or diagrams.
Tallyfy offers multiple template import methods including AI document conversion from Word/PDF files PowerPoint playbook migration flowchart conversion from images template copying between accounts and API-based bulk operations that can convert complex documents into working workflows within seconds while maintaining structure and enabling dynamic conditional logic to replace multiple static files with single smart templates.

XOR means eXclusive OR - only one path can be taken, mutually exclusive choices ↩
OR allows multiple paths simultaneously, unlike XOR which forces a single choice ↩
