Self-Correcting Workflows: The End of Manual Rework in 2026
Traditional workflows are linear: Input -> Processing -> Output. If the input is wrong, the process jams later on. Self-Correcting Workflows have validation loops. If data isn't standard, the system returns it to the source automatically.
The "Automatic Return" Concept
Example: A salesperson enters a Tax ID missing a digit.
- Without self-correction: The order goes to finance, who spots the error, emails the salesperson, who fixes it and sends it back. (2-day delay).
- With self-correction: The system tries to validate the Tax ID instantly. If it fails, it prevents saving or sends an immediate notification: "Fix Tax ID."
Shielding the process in Jestor
This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:
- Field Validation: Regex rules (format) and external API queries to ensure data exists.
- Feedback Loop: If an approver rejects, the system changes status to "Correction," notifies the author, and reopens fields for editing.
- Error Notification: If an integration fails, the system automatically creates an internal support ticket.
