Pre-Built Apps

Get started faster with pre-built applications that can be used as-is or tailored to an organization's specific needs.

  • Launch common HR processes immediately, without designing a form or workflow from scratch.
  • Adjust fields, approval steps, or permissions on a pre-built app to match internal requirements.
  • Combine the speed of a template with the flexibility to modify anything as processes evolve.

Configurable Workflows

Move records through the exact approval path your organization requires, no fixed, one-size-fits-all process.

  • Support linear or parallel approvals, with routing by org hierarchy or a named employee on the form.
  • Loop records back for correction, or route them forward based on the outcome of each action.
  • Adjust workflows at runtime, changes apply even to records already in progress.

Granular Permissions

Decide exactly who can view, edit, or act on a record, down to the individual field.

  • Assign Read-Only, Editable, or Hidden access by user role at each workflow step.
  • Configure who can submit, approve, and view submissions independently of each other.
  • Delegate app-building access itself to Custom Administrators, so building doesn't have to sit with IT.

Automated Notifications

Keep every stakeholder informed automatically, without manual follow-up.

  • Send notifications on submit, approve, reject, return, or complete, with fully custom subject lines and content.
  • Pull live record data into messages using simple token syntax.
