Automated Formstack Document Filing and Handoff

Every hour, WebRun opens Formstack, checks for documents that finished generating from form data since the last run, saves each finished file into the matching Google Drive folder, and posts a Slack message handing it to the teammate responsible for reviewing or sending it next.

In short

How do I route finished Formstack documents to the right person automatically?

WebRun checks Formstack every hour for documents that finished generating from form data, files each one into the matching Google Drive folder, and posts a Slack handoff naming the teammate who owns the next step. Finished paperwork lands with an owner within the hour instead of sitting in Formstack until someone happens to check.

  • Finished documents get an owner within the hour, not at end of week
  • Every document is filed and named without manual downloading
  • Nothing is sent for signature without a teammate's own review

Questions, answered

Does WebRun send the document for signature itself?

No. It files the finished document and hands it off in Slack. Sending it for signature or to a client is a step the teammate takes themselves.

How does it know who owns each document?

It matches the document's form or workflow in Formstack to the owner mapping you set up, so the right teammate gets the Slack handoff every time.

What if two documents finish at once?

Each one gets its own Drive file and its own Slack handoff, so nothing gets bundled together or missed.

Put this on autopilot.
