How To > Build effective forms
Structure intake
Tallyfy connects forms with the later workflow steps. This creates Tallyfy visibility and accountability through the whole sequence from submission to completion. This turns separate form submissions into the first step of a structured, trackable process.
The platform connects intake forms directly to later steps by:
- Placing kick-off forms at the start of process templates.
- Automatically starting defined workflows when a form is submitted.
- Tracking progress through all following steps.
- Making the entire process visible to relevant people.
- Including external participants using guest access.
As work intake software ↗, Tallyfy ensures all incoming requests are captured, routed, and tracked properly from start to finish.
Unlike separate forms where visibility stops after submission, Tallyfy provides ongoing status tracking for everyone involved (internal and external). This eliminates the need for manual follow-ups about submission status.
Information collected in kick-off forms is available throughout the process:
- Form field data flows automatically to later steps.
- Variables can pull form field values into later steps.
- Webhooks can send form data to other systems.
- All submitted info remains accessible to authorized people.
The system has validation features that help ensure real submissions:
- Email verification for external guests.
- Secure access control through verified email links.
- Options for public access forms when needed.
You can migrate existing forms (web forms, Word/Excel/PDF docs, paper forms) into Tallyfy. Available conversion tools help with the migration process.
