Workflow Automation

AI Form Processing

Reads every form submission, pulls out the structured fields, and pushes each one to the right system automatically.

Every intake, application or request form creates work: someone reads it, retypes the details and sends it to the right place. This workflow does that for you. It reads each submission, extracts fields such as name, order number and request type, checks them against your existing records and pushes the result to the right system. Incomplete submissions are flagged for a person.

  • Structured fields extracted from every form submission
  • Checked against existing records before anything is created
  • Incomplete or unclear submissions flagged for a person

What it is

AI Form Processing reads submissions from your web forms, such as an intake, application or request form, extracts the structured fields like name, order number or request type, checks them against your existing records, and pushes each submission to the right destination system.

Why businesses buy it

Manual form handling is slow and error-prone. A typo in an order number or a submission left unread for a day can mean a lost lead or an unhappy customer. As volume grows, the backlog grows with it. This workflow processes submissions the moment they arrive, applies the same checks every time and sends each one where it belongs. People only handle the exceptions. The written scope fixes the fields, systems, routing and testing before you order, so the result is clear in advance.

Problems this solves

Staff retype web form submissions into other systems by hand

The automation reads submissions from your intake, application or request forms. It extracts structured fields such as name, order number or request type, then pushes each one onward.

Form entries go to the wrong team or nowhere at all

Each submission is sent to the right destination system according to the rules agreed with you. One workflow of up to 12 steps handles extraction, checking and routing.

Duplicate or mismatched records creep in from forms

Extracted fields are checked against your existing records before anything is sent onward. The setup was tested across 20 runs on your own sample submissions before going live.

A good fit if

You collect submissions through a web form, such as a lead, application or request form, and someone currently retypes the details into another system.
Each submission needs checking against existing records, such as confirming a customer or order already exists, before it's actioned.
You want structured fields such as name, order number or request type pulled out automatically instead of read from free text by hand.
You're comfortable connecting up to three systems, such as your form tool, a spreadsheet and Slack, for this to run in the background.

Not the right fit if

Your inputs are mostly free-form emails, not submitted forms with defined fields. See AI Email Triage, which is built for inbox content.
You want ongoing data kept in sync between two systems generally, not specifically new form submissions processed. See AI Data Entry Automation.
You want the processed submissions rolled up into a recurring report, not routed individually. See AI Report Automation.
You need more than 12 steps or more than three connected systems in the workflow. Add a note at checkout for a Change Quote, or start from our Custom AI inquiry form.

How it works

  1. You describe today's process. A written description or screen recording of how form submissions get handled now, plus five to ten real sample submissions, defines the fields to extract.
  2. Up to three systems are connected. Typically your form tool, a spreadsheet or Airtable, and a notification channel such as Slack, linked with admin access to read and write records.
  3. The workflow is built, up to 12 steps. Each submission is read for its structured fields, checked against existing records for a match, and routed to the right destination.
  4. The AI decision step handles the judgment calls. Where a submission is incomplete or doesn't match an existing record cleanly, it's flagged for a person instead of guessed.
  5. 20 test runs check it against your own data. Real sample submissions are run through the workflow so you can confirm every field lands correctly before launch.
  6. You review it and we hand it off. Two rounds of changes tune the extracted fields and routing, then a recorded 45-minute session covers how to adjust rules later.

What you provide within 72 hours

Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.

  • The list of systems involved, such as your form tool, a spreadsheet or Airtable, and Slack, with admin or API access to each.
  • A written description or a short screen recording of how form submissions get processed today.
  • Five to ten real sample submissions covering the fields you want extracted.
  • The name of who should be alerted when a submission is incomplete or doesn't match an existing record.
  • The fields each submission should produce, such as name, order number, request type or priority.
  • Admin access and API keys for every connected system, shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never by email.
  • Your business information (company basics, hours and brand voice), shared during intake.
  • One decision-maker who can approve the extracted fields and routing rules before testing starts.
  • An API key for your own AI model account (for example OpenAI or Google Gemini), created for this build with a spending limit.
The 72-hour rule. Send everything on your checklist, including access, within 72 hours of ordering so your build starts on time.

Expected benefits and how to measure them

  • Can remove repetitive retyping from the team's day
  • Helps each submission reach the right place quickly
  • Reduces mismatched records from manual entry
Time from submission to action
Compare timestamps in your form tool and destination system for four weeks before and after launch.
Staff time on form handling
Ask the team to log weekly time spent, before and after.
Records needing correction
Count submissions corrected by hand each month.

Before you start: Record weekly form volume, typical handling time and how often entries need fixing.

These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.

Running costs

The build price is one-time. Running the workflow costs roughly $20 to $100 a month, covering the automation platform plus AI model usage, billed directly in your own accounts. A form generating a high volume of daily submissions sits toward the top of that range.

AI usage during the build and testing is also billed to your accounts, so every provider relationship stays yours. Nothing runs through us.

Custom requirements

If you need something outside the Scope Card, add a note at checkout. You get a written Change Quote, and that work only starts once you accept it. Your original order keeps its delivery date either way. Larger or bespoke projects go through the Custom AI request form instead.

Request a custom version

Keep it running

Monthly maintenance for this build covers change hours for things such as adding a new field to extract or adjusting a routing rule. It starts after the 30 days of included support and can be cancelled any month; unused hours do not roll over.

$249/mo (the minimum fee, includes 2 change hours)

Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.

Questions about this product

What is included in the AI Form Processing build?

Up to three connected systems, one workflow of up to twelve steps including an AI step for incomplete or unclear submissions, 20 test runs on your own sample submissions, two rounds of changes and a recorded handoff session. The price is fixed and shown on this page before you order, once the fields to extract are agreed.

What does AI Form Processing cost to run each month?

Roughly $20 to $100, covering the automation platform plus AI model usage, paid directly in your own accounts rather than billed through us. A form generating a high volume of daily submissions tends to land nearer the top of that range than one used only occasionally.

How fast can form processing be up and running?

On a fixed schedule shown before you buy, counted from a verified intake and including 20 test runs on your own sample submissions. Express and rush delivery are both available for an added fee chosen at checkout, not requested afterward, if a backlog of forms is already building up.

What access does AI Form Processing need?

Admin or API access to your form tool, plus the systems each submission gets checked against or routed to, such as a spreadsheet, Airtable or Slack. Every credential is shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never by email, and access is scoped to what the workflow actually needs.

Can we extract a new field after launch?

Yes, through monthly maintenance. Adding a field, adjusting a routing rule, or retuning how submissions get matched against existing records all fit inside its monthly change hours. Connecting a fourth system is scoped separately as a Change Quote before that extra connection is built.

Is AI Form Processing maintenance a fixed-term contract?

No. Plans bill monthly and can be cancelled in any given month, with no long-term commitment attached. Submissions keep being processed on the existing rules either way; a plan only pays for hours spent changing fields or routing afterward, and unused hours never roll into the next month.

What happens when a submission is missing information?

It's flagged for a person rather than pushed through with guessed values. The alert goes to whoever you named during intake, along with what was submitted and what's missing, so the record can be completed manually instead of quietly recorded wrong in your system, rather than left for someone to catch later.

Stop retyping form submissions into other systems.

Order AI Form Processing and submissions start being read, checked and routed to the right system automatically from a fixed delivery date.
