Integrating external forms into automated approval flows means a submission from a website, a landing page, or an embedded form triggers a structured approval process automatically — instead of arriving as an email someone has to manually route. In **Jestor**, forms can also be embedded directly with links to scheduling tools, exchange rates, or other live content.

Forms collecting requests from outside the company — vendor onboarding, client intake — often stop at "submission received," with everything after that happening manually.

## What breaks after an external form submission

- Submissions arriving by email, requiring manual entry into the actual process
- No automatic routing to the right approver based on submission content
- No visibility for the submitter into where their request currently stands
- Data from the form re-typed into a tracking system after the fact

## How integrated external form flows work

- An external **form** feeds directly into a structured process as a new card
- **Alçada** rules can route the submission for approval automatically, based on its content
- **Embedded blocks** let the form include live external content, like scheduling links
- The submitter can be notified automatically as their request moves through the process

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- External forms feed directly into the same structure as any internal request
- No manual re-entry step between submission and the approval process
- Embedded content (scheduling, exchange rates) can live inside the form itself
- The same automation and SLA tracking apply to external and internal requests alike
