Forms + manual input.

Capture structured operational data at the source. Digitise field workflows, inspections, approvals + manual data entry - no paperwork or spreadsheets.

Custom-Analytics-Solution-WebP

CAPABILITY OVERVIEW

Turn manual data entry into a structured workflow.

Rayven's form builder digitises any manual data capture process into a configurable, branded form that feeds data directly into workflows.

Every submission can trigger connected workflows in real-time; routing data to storage, dashboards, AI models, or automated actions - all without manual re-entry, spreadsheets,email chains, or disconnected paper forms.

Inbound connections include:

  • Text + numeric field inputs

  • Date + time selection

  • Dropdown + multi-select fields

  • File attachments

  • Button-triggered workflow events

  • QR code-initiated form launches

KEY CAPABILITIES

What Forms + Manual Input give you.

form-builder-black

Configurable form builder

Build forms with multiple field types: text, numeric, date, dropdown, multi-select + file upload. Set validation rules + control page reload behaviour per submission.

Workflow-black

Real-time workflow trigger

Every form submission fires a workflow event immediately. Data is available to all downstream nodes - storage, AI, automation + alerting - within seconds of submission.

Data-Table-Black

Secondary Table writes

Form submissions write directly to a Secondary Table via the Push Secondary Table Row node, linking field data to a specific asset, customer or entity UID.

data-management-Black

File attachments

Forms support file upload fields. Attachments are stored via FTP + immediately available to connected workflows - useful for photo capture in field inspections or document submissions.

Mobile-ready interfaces

Rayven forms render on any device via browser. No app installation required. Field teams access forms via URL or QR code on any smartphone or tablet, submitting in real time over any network.

QR-Code2-black-35

QR code-triggered forms

Combine with Rayven's QR Code Generator to launch a specific form by scanning an asset or location code. Ensures data is captured against the correct UID without manual record lookup.

HOW IT CONNECTS: EXPLAINER

Where Forms + Manual Input fit in the Rayven Platform stack.

Form nodes sit in the Integration Layer as a human-in-the-loop data ingestion mechanism - the manual equivalent of a sensor or API connector.

Once submitted, form data flows into:

  • The Data Layer for storage + aggregation against asset or entity UIDs

  • The Execution Layer where workflow logic, approvals + automated actions process the submission

  • The Presentation Layer where submitted data surfaces in dashboards, tables + operational interfaces

Manual form data and automated data sources now merge into the same workflow pipeline, treated identically once submitted.

USE CASES

How Forms + Manual Input gets used.

Field inspection digitisation

Site personnel scan an asset QR code, complete a structured inspection form + submit. The workflow logs the result to a Secondary Table, updates the last-inspection timestamp + triggers an alert if a defect is recorded - all within seconds.

Customer onboarding workflow

A financial services firm captures onboarding data via a Rayven form in a client portal. Submission fires a workflow that validates inputs, creates a client record + routes the application to the next stage - no manual re-entry between systems.

Workflow-Chain-Preferred WebP

Partner-built service request portal

An MSP builds a white-label service request portal using Rayven forms. Clients submit requests via a branded interface and the MSP's team receives structured data in a workflow dashboard with automated routing based on request type.

Forms + Manual Input FAQs:

Text, numeric, date/time, dropdown, multi-select + file upload. Validation rules can be set per field to ensure data quality at the point of capture.

Yes. Rayven forms can be accessed via direct URL or embedded in custom interfaces built on the platform. For third-party site embedding, use the iFrame widget.

Immediately. Form submissions trigger the connected workflow in real time. Data is available to all downstream nodes - storage, AI, automation + alerting - within seconds.

Yes. The Push Secondary Table Row node writes form submission data to a configured Secondary Table, linked by UID to a specific asset, customer or entity record.

Yes. Rayven forms are browser-based and render on any device. No app installation required. Field teams access forms via URL or QR code on any smartphone or tablet.

Yes. The workflow connected to a form can include a Conditional Filter or Rule Builder that evaluates submitted values and triggers email, SMS or webhook alerts based on defined conditions.

Yes. File upload fields allow users to attach images, documents + other files. Attachments are stored via FTP and immediately accessible to the connected workflow.

Yes. Forms can be launched with a UID parameter - via an asset-specific QR code - so the same template captures data against different records without duplication.

Display logic can be configured to show or hide fields based on prior selections. This keeps forms clean and context-relevant for the person completing them.

Yes. Manual form data and automated sources - sensors, APIs, file ingestion - flow into the same workflow pipeline. Manual and machine data are treated identically once submitted.
