Why Your Operation Should Implement an SQL Server Workflow

Implementing an SQL Server workflow allows your operation to leverage SQL as their “source of truth” for data management. 

SQL Server workflows can automate the movement of data between GoFormz and each system connected to SQL, establishing a constant current of information throughout your operation.

Configuring your operation’s SQL Server workflow can have transformative results by automating daily processes, like:

Instantly add or update database rows
Your SQL Server workflow can automate the creation of rows within a database table based on data input into a mobile form, streamlining data management tasks. This same workflow can be used to update existing rows with captured data.

Seamlessly reference SQL Server database tables
Automated workflows can also be used to pull data from an SQL Server database into GoFormz, accelerating data entry, eliminating redundant data entry, and form completion while reducing opportunities for data entry errors. 

Use case example: streamline client management
Imagine you are responsible for keeping your business’ large number of client records current. An SQL Server workflow could be used to significantly streamline the regular updates and additions necessary to maintain these records. For example, your workflow could instantly update a row within a connected database for a client whose most recent invoice lists a new mailing address. This also allows for a similar automation that can be utilized when providing that same customer with future digital forms (e.g. job proposals, quotes, etc.) which can be automatically populated with information from the same database.
