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.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does this annoy the user?** It's better to fix it now (30 seconds) than redo the work later (30 minutes). Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Does it work for invalid emails?** Yes, the system checks email format before accepting.

**Can I create custom rules?** Yes, example: "Do not accept orders with negative margin."
