At Formstack, we love how easy it is to automate data collection. Gone are the days of manually entering data into a database or CRM. But if you’re only using forms, you’re only solving half of the puzzle.
For Forms power users who want to level up their workflow automation, we recommend Formstack Documents. Formstack Documents is a document automation solution that takes data from your central business systems, such as forms, CRMs, and other databases, and turns it into custom, branded documents that can be delivered anywhere.
By combining the power of Formstack Forms and Documents, your workflow automation options are endless! Here are just a few popular use cases to help you turn your data into documents:
- Donation Submission → Personalized ‘Thank You’ Letter
- Services Request → Automated Quote Generation
