How to Work on Drag-and-drop Visual Builder?

BPMApp comes with an easy drag-and-drop visual flow builder where you can create workflows to automate redundant tasks. It has a collection of nodes serving specific functionality, collectively helping to create the flows. Let’s see what each of them does.

Send Form Node

  • This node allows you to send forms created using Forms.io to contacts or employees by email. You can send forms for education scholarships, education enrollment, bank credit card applications and much more.
  • Choose a form from the drop-down menu and enter the email's subject. The email field is a dynamic field which varies based on which contacts are selected.
  • Then press the Save button.

  • In case of failure to send the form, it allows you to connect to the next step as well.

    • Answer No Match - this scenario helps you to decide the next step if the given answer by the contact is not matching the given, You can connect it to the next step.
    • Time Out - this scenario helps you to decide the next step if the contact has not given any response to the form in the given time period.
    • Success - this scenario helps you to decide the next step if the responses in the contact match the given answer.

Wait for Form Response Node

For example, if a user has not seen a specific form in three days or if the responses do not match, we can arrange the form to send it to that user again.

Delay Node

  • To configure the days, hours, and minutes for the wait time restriction, go to the Delay step.
