Convert BPMN into templates
Converting BPMN patterns to Tallyfy
Section titled “Converting BPMN patterns to Tallyfy”Recreate your BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagrams as runnable Tallyfy templates using the step-by-step builder. No technical expertise needed. Your templates become real workflows that your team can launch, track, and complete.
Why BPMN diagrams fall short
Section titled “Why BPMN diagrams fall short”- Complex symbolism - diamonds, circles, and gateways require training just to read
- Static documentation - diagrams can’t actually run anything
- Technical barriers - non-technical teams can’t interpret BPMN notation
- Modification friction - changing a single step often requires IT involvement
- Implementation gap - diagrams rarely match how people actually work
Why Tallyfy works better
Section titled “Why Tallyfy works better”- Runnable processes - templates become real workflows you can launch and track
- No coding needed - if you can fill out a form, you can build a process
- Anyone can use it - from interns to executives, the interface is self-explanatory
- Live updates - change a step and it’s live immediately
- Built-in tracking - see exactly where every process stands in real time
BPMN pattern equivalents in Tallyfy
Section titled “BPMN pattern equivalents in Tallyfy”Every standard BPMN pattern maps to a Tallyfy feature:
| BPMN pattern | How Tallyfy handles it |
|---|---|
| Sequential Flow | Steps run one after another - use automations to enforce order |
| Parallel Split (AND) | Multiple steps are active at the same time (default behavior) |
| Exclusive Gateway (XOR)1 | Automations show/hide steps so only one path runs |
| Inclusive Gateway (OR)2 | Automations show/hide steps so multiple paths can run |
| Synchronization | Automations wait for multiple steps to complete before triggering |
| Structured Loop | Reopen action lets you repeat steps within a process |
| Deferred Choice | Automations conditionally assign tasks to different people |

Steps for converting BPMN to Tallyfy
Section titled “Steps for converting BPMN to Tallyfy”- Study your BPMN diagram - identify the main steps, decision points, and responsibilities (10-15 minutes for most diagrams)
- Map the core logic - note what happens in sequence and where paths split
- Create a new template in Tallyfy
- Build your workflow - add steps, assign them to the right people, and set up automations
- Add the details - add form fields, set the conditions that decide each path, and add automations
- Test run - launch a test process and walk through it to catch issues
- Go live - launch the real process
