Workflows that are Entirely Within Your Control

One or more actions can be assigned to a document, whether on creation or at any point afterward. Document actions can be chained together in a controlled manner, creating workflows.

The Document Actions module also includes outbound webhooks, making it possible to include external services within your Document Actions workflow.

Outbound Webhooks

Trigger webhooks from both Document Events (create, update, delete) and Document Actions, enabling workflows that can integrate with external services.

Available with:

FormKiQ Core FormKiQ Essentials FormKiQ Advanced FormKiQ Enterprise

Implement Webhooks for Internal and External Workflows

Create a Document Action or rely on a Document Event to trigger an outbound webhook to any webhook-enabled external service.

Document Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Processing Module

Using Tesseract or Amazon Textract, FormKiQ can process document content as raw text, table data, or form keys and values.

Available with:

FormKiQ Core FormKiQ Essentials FormKiQ Advanced FormKiQ Enterprise

Document OCR Whenever Needed

FormKiQ provides flexible OCR workflows, with the processed data being available as part of the document's metadata, for use cases such as Fulltext Document Search Module

The Document OCR functionality can also be combined with the Intelligent Document Processing Module to provide advanced analysis of document content.

Document Generation from templates and data sources

Based on templates designed and maintained within MS Office Online, Google Drive, or FormKiQ itself, data from various sources can be combined to generate documents in various formats.

Available as an Add-On Module with:

FormKiQ Advanced FormKiQ Enterprise

Bring datasources together to present information through well-designed document templates

Using a standard format (Apache FreeMarker), FormKiQ enables organizations to maintain templates for document generation. This can be combined with the e-Signature Integration module to provide customized contracts and other generated documents for electronic signing.

Enhanced Intelligent Document Processing using entity mapping and AI

Using a customizable combination of configured entity mapping and leveraging models available within your AWS account via Amazon Bedrock, FormKiQ enables more advanced intelligent processing of document content and its retrieval as actionable information, with options such as the removal of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and integration of document classification confidence scores into workflows.
