Create a form

As a Bot Creator, you can create a form to provide interaction between humans and bots. You enter required data using any of the supported form elements that can be rendered in the web interface. Additionally, you can add or remove form actions when creating a process.

Prerequisites

Note: As a user, you can interact with the form only when it is assigned to you. If the form is unassigned, it is not enabled and is read-only. To edit the form, you can assign the form to yourself or to any team member who has access to the process. After editing the form, the assignee can submit the form or use any other action options. After the form is submitted or an action option is used, the request view displays the next step or task.
  • You must have a Bot Creator license.
  • You must be assigned a custom role with the create folder permission.

Forms in Automation Co-Pilot can be displayed in two scenarios:

  • Case creation: This is the initial form that is displayed when you want to create a new case and enter the required business data.
  • Form step: This form is displayed to show information and prompt for additional inputs.

Forms can be used in automation on both Automation Co-Pilot for desktop and on the web. However, these two versions handle forms differently. Developers should be aware of the differences when these versions render forms. Building forms for web and desktop

Note: To add variables to process automation without using a form, see Create and add input variables to a new process automation. To review the supported variables available for a process automation, see Supported variable types in Process Composer.
