Provide the following information to establish the Export Form to PDF action:

Collect the images included in Image fields from received Forms using the Get Form Images action. Use this action to send images from your received Form to another source including a person or third-party system separate from the PDF file.

Note: This action only collects images from Image fields. This does not include images stored in Sketch fields or attachments.

Use the Get Form Images action with the Form Completed or Public Form Submitted trigger and Upload File action to leverage popular GoFormz third-party integrations.

Provide the following information to establish the Export Form to PDF action:

With the Send Email action you can automate sending an email and any necessary attachments. Send your email using the GoFormz email server or a GoFormz SMTP client connected to a third-party server.

Notify employees, partners, or customers when an action has taken place. Common uses of this action include emailing an employee an assignment or emailing a customer a completed work order form.

Use Workflow Variables for email inputs to reference Form and metadata variables.

Setup the Send Email action using the following inputs:

To: This action requires you include the email address indicating your email recipient.
​
If you want this email delivered to multiple recipients, then separate their emails using commas.

​

​

Attachments: Select files you want included as your Attachments. This includes output from your Export Report or Export PDF step.

Advanced: Determine your Form Display Name and Reply to Email in your Advanced options for the Send Email action.

Indicate whether your Form status is Draft or Complete with the Change Form Status action.

Reopen or complete a Form based on an external action using this action. Use this action as part of a Workflow to control Form status from a third-party app like Salesforce.

Completing or more frequently reopening a form based on an external trigger is a common use case for this action. For instance, imagine you have a workflow where field technicians fill out a form, the completed form's data is uploaded into a Salesforce object, and managers then look at the results through Salesforce. If they see that some data is missing, they may want to reopen the form directly from Salesforce.

Provide the following details to setup your Change Form Status action:

Note: The Export Report to CSV action requires an Advanced subscription.

Generate and export a single CSV file containing your selected text-based Form data. Table, Image, Location, Signature, and Sketch fields cannot be exported.

Open your CSV files with spreadsheet or data analysis software (like Microsoft Excel) to manage and analyze your data.

When you open your CSV, you will see multiple rows of data. The first row contains column headings explaining the following rows. The number of rows included in your export determines the number of additional rows.

The following inputs are necessary to setup your Export Report to CSV action:

Report is a drop-down menu where you select the GoFormz report you want exported. This configuration detail is required.

Decide how separation of your columns is indicated. By default, your Export Delimiter is a comma (",").

Activate Include Newline Characters to enable your Workflow to handle multi-line text fields.

Note: The Create Form action requires an Advanced subscription.

Use the Create Form action to create a new Form. You can also assign your new Form to a user and populate Form fields with the exceptions of Location and Sketch. Additionally, if you want to automatically populate a Table field you must contact Pro Services for assistance.

Create Forms with this action based on internal or external triggers.
​
Use an internal GoFormz trigger in instances where you need to collect data as a first step in a process. An example is if you want an approved Project Proposal form to trigger the creation of a Jobsite Inspection form.

An external trigger can collect data for a third-party source. Here, an example is if you want to create a new Form to collect data for each Work Order created in Salesforce.

The Create Form action contains the following inputs:

Note: The Create Public Form action requires an Advanced subscription.

Use the Create Public Form action to create and send a new Public Form link.

You will select which fields you want your Form User to edit and set an expiration date if necessary.
