Forms streamline manual data collection while enabling you to automate workflows based on the information gathered. Whether you're sending out onboarding surveys or collecting critical employee data, Forms integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows, saving you valuable time.
Key Features of Forms
Customizable Input Fields
With Forms, you can create fields that capture the exact information you need—whether it's short text, long text, numbers, dates, or select options. This ensures you gather precise data for tasks like feedback collection or employee updates.Slack Integration
Employees can fill out forms directly within Slack, making the process intuitive and efficient. No need to switch platforms—everything happens in one place, improving both the employee experience and the speed of data collection.Automation-Ready
Form responses can trigger automations immediately, eliminating the need for manual follow-up. Whether it's notifying team members, assigning tasks, or sending additional resources, Forms help keep your HR processes running smoothly.Real-Time Response Tracking
Track submissions as they happen. With real-time tracking, HR teams can respond promptly to incoming data, ensuring that no feedback or request is overlooked.
How Forms Work
When a form is submitted, the data can be linked to an employee profile—but not necessarily the person submitting the form. For instance, a manager might submit a form on behalf of their team, with the data being stored in the respective employee’s profile. Alternatively, employees themselves can submit forms, and the data will be stored directly in their own profiles.
This flexibility ensures that forms adapt to your organization’s needs, whether you’re handling individual tasks or managing team-wide processes. Once submitted, responses are immediately ready to trigger workflows, helping you automate steps like scheduling follow-up meetings or sending notifications.
Slack Forms: Effortless Data Collection in Slack
One of the most exciting aspects of this update is the Slack Forms integration. Many organizations already rely on Slack for daily communication, and now they can collect and automate HR data without leaving the app.
With Slack Forms, HR teams can send forms directly through Slack, and employees can complete them within the chat window. This means there’s no need to open a separate platform or log into an additional system—making the process faster and more intuitive for employees. Whether you're gathering onboarding feedback, running employee surveys, or collecting regular check-ins, Slack Forms allows your teams to complete tasks where they already work.
For those outside Slack, forms can also be shared via email, where a customized link directs employees to a form they can complete without logging in.
