Data Flow from Forms to Third-Party Systems

Data Flow from Forms to Third-Party Systems Overview:

  1. Initial Data Capture:
    • Field workers use mobile forms to collect data on their devices.
    • Data is stored locally on the phone’s database, ensuring retention even without internet connectivity.
  2. Cloud Synchronization:
    • When an internet connection is available, the captured data is synchronized with the Axonator cloud.
  3. Workflow Triggering:
    • Upon synchronization, an automated workflow is initiated.
    • These workflows are customizable using the Automata tool.
  4. Data Processing:
    • The workflow processes the data through a series of steps.
    • Steps can be system-automated or require user intervention.
  5. Third-Party System Integration:
    • Workflow steps can include REST API calls to interact with external systems.
    • Data can be pushed to or pulled from third-party platforms, including legacy systems with compatible APIs.
  6. Custom Integrations:
    • Axonator’s API allows for the creation of custom integrations with other tools and services.
    • This enables more complex data flows and reduces manual data entry.
  7. Parallel Processing:
    • The workflow can be designed to execute multiple steps in parallel, enhancing efficiency.

This data flow structure creates a seamless pipeline from initial data capture in the field to integration with various third-party systems. It allows organizations to automate data transfer processes, reduce manual interventions, and ensure that data captured in mobile forms can be efficiently utilized across different platforms and systems. The flexibility of the workflow design and integration capabilities enables businesses to tailor the data flow to their specific operational needs and existing tech ecosystem.
