    Article Overview

    The following article describes how to use the Workflow Manager with an onboarding process.

    Specification Process Example

    A company asked you to create an online customer onboarding process based on an old PDF form. The customer will use the process to fill out personal information. If the customer is married, the process will have to reach the spouse so they can also provide information before final submission. Links to the process will be sent via email. When the process is submitted the provided information will be integrated into the company's database and will be displayed on top of the original PDF form.
