Introducing Flowingly Integrations

When it comes to reducing time spent on work-about-work, connecting your favorite tools is a no-brainer.

That’s why we’re so excited to announce Flowingly Integrations.

Flowingly Integrations gives you the ability to connect Flowingly with thousands of applications. That’s right. Thousands.

Here’s a quick look at some of the powerful ways your team can start to leverage Flowingly Integrations to maximize productivity, reduce errors and keep all your records up-to-date.

Populate an Excel or Google Sheet

Ever wished an Incident Report logged in Flowingly would automatically update your Incident spreadsheet?

Now it can.

As soon as your employee logs that incident, Flowingly allocates relevant steps and tasks to people around the organization. Using Flow Integrations, you can now have it automatically update your incident spreadsheet with each incident.

If your organization revolves around spreadsheets, this integration means that your employees don’t have to change the way they work.

Reducing system change? Check.

Reducing double handling? Check.

It’s a win-win.

Create a Trello card or board

Now this is exciting. Blending process management with project management.

When you’re kicking off a customer onboarding, there will be a standardized process. You’ll follow the onboarding workflow. Managing the handover from sales to customer success. Setting the customer up in your service desk. Making sure the invoice has been paid. That’s the process.

What about after the onboarding is done? At that point you’re entering project management territory. Things need to be more dynamic. More flexible.

Enter tools like Trello and Asana.

Using Flowingly Integrations, you can create project boards and cards automatically during the onboarding. No more double handling. No more copy-paste errors.

Free up your project teams to spend more time on projects, less time on admin.

Send a Teams or Slack notification

Make sure your teams are alerted to key updates in the channels they live in.

Flowingly natively supports email and mobile push notifications. With Flowingly Integrations you can now add Microsoft Teams and Slack.

With the integration, you will receive real-time notifications directly within Teams or Slack.

You’ll also receive the details that you need.

This could be a notification about a new supplier that employees can use. Including their catalogue and key contact details.

Or maybe it’s about an incident on the production floor. That a certain product run was found to be defective and has now been isolated.

Or just something super simple. An alert to approve your employee’s leave. That your new employee has signed their device policy. That your Capital Expenditure request has been approved.

Schedule a Calendar event

Employees often enter times and dates into workflow forms. They might be specifying when a new employee is starting. Or when a project is set to start. Or maybe they’re setting a date for an employee’s farewell.

With Flowingly Integrations, you can have those time/date fields automatically create a Calendar event in Outlook.

This is a great way to ensure your calendar is kept up-to-date and, more importantly, that everyone remembers key events.

+ Many more recipes

Create an invoice in Xero. Update a CRM contact. Create an employee in BambooHR. With over 1000 applications to integrate with, the possibilities are endless.

If you don’t yet have Flowingly, but want to see how it fits into your tech stack, get your trial now.

Let your tools do the work

Flowingly Integrations will not only save you time, they will help your employees focus on quality work rather than admin.

From reducing errors to automating manual tasks. Record-keeping to real-time notifications.

We are thrilled to help future-proof your tech stack and fast-track your digital transformation.

As a result, we’re making the employee and customer experiences better, ensuring that people get the information they need, in the systems they use.

Process visibility is still way harder than it needs to be. Most organizations have no way to track submissions, tasks and approvals in real-time.

More importantly, their employees have to rely on their to-do list or Outlook Calendar to remind them what tasks they need to do.

Chances are, your organization is running into these exact issues today:

• You follow up on requests via email or Teams.
• You are missing SLAs because someone somewhere forgot to do their bit.
• You have NO IDEA what stage your employee and customer onboardings are at.
• You don’t have a complete picture of your process compliance, and neither do your auditors.

New: Current Step Visualizer

Ever wanted to pull up a Flow and immediately understand where each Step is sitting?

Or maybe you’ve hit the SUBMIT button and wondered what happens next?

Or even been tasked with a Step and need to quickly see what has gone on before?

Now you can.

With the Current Step Visualizer, you get an immediate visual of where every Flow is sitting. Each Current Step will be highlighted in blue.

This is super handy for complex Flows or Flows that span multiple departments. Think about your Customer Onboarding Flow. At a glance you can see that the Finance team has sent the invoice, but that it hasn’t been paid yet. That the Account Management team had a successful intro session and has booked their second onboarding meeting. That Support has completed all of their tasks and that the customer is set up in your service desk.

This means more transparency and visibility for both employees and senior management.

New: Step Reminder

In a perfect world we’d all have flawless memories. We’d never forget the tasks that we need to do.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case and we struggle to remember the hundreds of tasks that we need to do in our work week.

Introducing Step Reminders.

When building a Flow, you now have the ability to add a Step Reminder. In the event that the Step hasn’t been completed, this reminder will send the user a reminder at 9am X days from the day the Step was created.

An optional field, the Step Reminder will help your employees stay on top of critical tasks and plan their days ahead of time.

Combined with the new Current Step Visualizer, this takes your organization’s task management to the next level.

New: Cancellation Email

Ever wondered where one of your Flows went, only to realize that it was cancelled by someone else?

No longer.

With the new Cancellation Email feature, when a workflow is cancelled by an authorized user the initiator will receive an email notification to say so.

Like Rejection Emails, the Cancellation Email will also contain a mandatory Comment field where the user cancelling the Flow will need to explain the reasoning. They will also have the ability to include other users within the email to notify all relevant parties.

Upgraded: User Delete prompt for databases

Business Admins will be happy to hear that the User Delete prompt will now apply to databases!

Previously, when you deleted a user you would be prompted to reassign their Tasks and Approvals.

Now, if that user is also listed in a database, you will be prompted to automatically replace that user with a new one.

This makes system governance easier than ever before, especially for those with large user numbers and multiple databases.

Upgraded: Step Statuses

Most workflow tools give a basic status of an overall workflow. If it’s in progress, completed or rejected.

But that’s not much help when you have strict compliance regulations to meet. When the auditors want to know exact details. Like where and why things were rejected. Or why certain steps were abandoned.

When the auditors are looking through your Non-Conformance process you don’t want to have to clarify exactly what has happened at each stage.

With our Step Statuses, we aim to make your Flows tell the entire story.

The new Reject, Sent Back and Abandoned statuses give users a greater understanding of the history of a Flow. They can now see which Step a rejected Flow was sent back to, and which Steps were abandoned due to a rejection.

As a result, your Flow reports will include a more detailed audit trail than ever before.
