FORM > What is a kick-off form?

The Kick-off Form

Does the word  Kick-off remind you of a football game? Well, our Kick-off forms have the same concept. They're the start of the game. The necessary kick to get things moving!

Some processes can start automatically, but others require specific information. That's what the Kick-off form is for. Create a form that has to be filled out before a process can start. Or link a web-form: when it's completed, the process will begin. Learn how here.

A kick-off form is useful when a client or employee's name, email, or ID is required at the start of the process. In order to kick-off the process, the user must first submit this information.
