It’s rare to find a tool that will benefit your entire business. Marketing automation is for marketing and sales. Human resources management is for HR. SaaS management is for IT and legal.
But the Formstack was designed to improve the processes and workflows that everyone experiences, not just one or two departments. In fact, Formstack’s Forms, Documents, and Sign products have numerous applications across the modern business—and we can prove it.
Here are 15 of the most common (and helpful!) ways to use Formstack across your sales, marketing, HR, IT, and finance/operations teams.
Formstack in Sales and Marketing
Formstack was founded to improve the way teams capture data. Sales and marketing inherently require this technology because they exist to generate, nurture, and close leads. But Formstack technology goes well beyond lead capture:
Event Registration
Easily host user conferences, customer meet-ups, and online events with forms that attract attendees and make registration easy. Generate tickets and even accept payments without doing the legwork to integrate your own provider. After the event, easily follow up with attendees using custom emails prepopulated with the data they provided.
Pro Tip: Want to use your Salesforce CRM data? No problem. Formstack offers an entire suite of products built to automate your Salesforce workflows.
Online Surveys
Doing your own marketing research? Getting a better handle on which products your customers like most? Online surveys remove the hassle of data gathering, leaving you with a repository of information you can act on in future content and campaigns—no code required. Not getting the responses you hoped for? Boost conversions with our intelligent Conversion Kit featuring optimization tools that protect against partial submissions, field bottlenecks, and more.
Sales Proposals
Sales shouldn’t have to spend time manually customizing every proposal when automation can do it much quicker and more accurately. Formstack Documents easily generates PDFs, Word docs, and any other document you may want to send to prospects—already tailored with their information. Starting from scratch? Use customizable, pre-built templates with dynamic content for every scenario to save your team time.
Sales Contracts
Make deals official using contracts that delight new customers with user-friendly design instead of outdated, one-size-fits-all legalese. Personalize contracts with the same account data you captured earlier in the sales process. Didn’t start with a form? Our Documents API generates custom documents from any of your favorite apps. Finally, close the deal with electronic signature options recipients can use no matter where they are.

Formstack in Human Resources
Employees are consumers too, and they expect fast, convenient digital experiences just like your customers, patients, students, or citizens. Whether they’re new or seasoned employees, forego the large onboarding packets and in-person signings with digital:
Employment Agreements
Impress new employees with fully digital offer letters and agreements they can sign online or by phone before their first day. Include employee-specific details pulled from your HRIS like role, start date, and duties. You can even route to important stakeholders like the recruiter and hiring manager for final approval.
Employee Onboarding
Digital onboarding makes things so much easier—for your new employees and your HR team. But it doesn’t have to take a major digital overhaul to make a big impact. Get a jumpstart on building your ideal onboarding workflow with complimentary templates like:
Formstack Forms lets anyone in HR—with any level of technical experience—capture information with a code-free drag-and-drop builder. Play around with themes and design to match your company branding and make a good first impression.

Employee Reviews and Surveys
Gauge employee satisfaction with annual surveys that are easy to create. Not sure what to ask? Our Conditional Logic tool helps you decrease survey abandonment by only asking the most relevant questions for each participant. Afterward, aggregate and assess responses for follow-up to improve employee engagement over time.
Benefits Enrollment
Generate documents that clearly describe all available benefits options from healthcare to vision to dental. Then, use that information to build a form that captures employees’ selections. Or, try our pre-built benefits enrollment template to save time. You can even include fields for uploading files like ID images or scans of important documents for newly added dependents.
Formstack in IT
Could your IT department use a hand? The answer isn’t always more headcount. Improve their processes with forms and documents that make it easier to address every tech problem that comes their way:
Service Tickets
Help IT dig out of their inboxes with online forms employees can use to submit device issues and request support. Automatic notifications immediately alert the team, while custom workflows make it easy for reviewers to route cases to the appropriate helper.
Already have help desk software? Integrate Formstack for easy ticket management that helps employees win back more of their time.
Equipment Requests
Give employees an easy way to request new corporate devices and software with fields for their current device and the new functionality they need access to. Then, add logic to the form so those with multiple request types can submit everything in one convenient place. Once submitted, gather approval from finance and leaders across teams with digital workflows and easy eSignature collection.
Communications and Post-Ticket Surveys
Let employees know their IT request was received with automatic email confirmations after forms are completed. After tickets close, improve your IT team’s output and customer service with follow-up surveys that gauge whether employees received the help and resources they need to do their work properly.
