Create payment and activity records from form submissions

Automatically monitor new Formstack submissions across Formstack and SQL Server. Create and update when submission identifiers match, payment details arrive, or records stay unmatchedβ€”so you can write activity rows, insert payment records, and flag items for manual reconciliation without manual reconciliation paperwork.

How this automation protects your audit records

When new payment forms land without traceable records, reconciliation stalls and audits get riskier. This automation monitors submissions, then writes an activity log row and inserts a payment row in SQL Serverβ€”so your team can reconcile faster.

  1. 1.Watch new submission

    Integrate Formstack and form submission tools to detect each new submission and start the audit trail workflow.
