Installing frevvo for Confluence

If you want to use online forms and workflows in Confluence, frevvo Live Forms for Confluence is a great choice. It’s extremely easy to use and straightforward to install as well. However, customers sometimes get confused – Live Forms for Confluence has two components: a Confluence plugin and the frevvo server. Both are required and the plugin must be configured to connect to the server.

I recommend you watch it in 720p HD and if possible in full screen though that might make it hard to follow along while you install.

Super-EZ Workflows in Confluence

We’re hearing from more and more prospects who want to create simple workflows in Confluence for things like Expense Reports, Vacation Requests, Timesheets, Patient Referrals, and Purchase Orders.

With frevvo, you can easily create these workflows with no programming and without ever leaving Confluence. Check out this short (3.5 min) video that shows how:

Time is precious for any business, especially a non-profit

Gateway to College National Network (GtCNN) is a national nonprofit organization that’s tackling the dropout crisis and catalyzing change across developmental education in college.

As they grow, it’s harder and far more expensive to use email and Word documents for business-critical things like accurately harvesting contact information for their large and growing national user base.

They’re using frevvo Live Forms for Confluence together with the built-in SQL connector, Excel export and workflows to reduce 50-60% of staff hours spent on conference registration and contact management.

Drop-dead simple Confluence Workflows

Workflows, in particular, simple approval workflows are extremely common at business organizations of all sizes. For example:

  • An Expense Report that must be approved by your Manager
  • Vacation Request that needs approval
  • Patient Referrals where a Nurse or Physician’s Assistant fills out the top part of a form, a Doctor has to sign it and then send it to the hospital
  • Issue Tracking where an Employee creates an internal support issue and admin support staff take multiple actions on the issue before closing it

It’s easy to automate these workflows using Live Forms for Confluence. You can view a 7 minute video or read this article in the documentation.

We’re excited about these powerful, easy-to-use workflows seamlessly integrated into Confluence. We think customers are going to find them super useful too.

Excited about our new Confluence release

It’s been an unbelievable time – obviously, we haven’t updated the blog at all recently. We’re really excited about our new product for Atlassian Confluence. We’ve been working with quite a few customers who have now successfully used frevvo within Confluence for things like:

  • Issue tracking systems
  • Event registration (download submissions to MS Excel)
  • Patient referral
  • Student enrollment

and many other applications.

The new version has full user/group integration with Confluence, works with your Active Directory/LDAP systems, includes workflows, digital signatures, task lists in Confluence, the ability to create/update Confluence pages from forms & workflows, the ability to collect multiple submissions in a single Confluence page etc.

I’ll be writing more about these over the next several weeks.
