How does Formstack work for Report Generation automation?
Formstack works for Report Generation automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Formstack alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Report Generation, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Pull pipeline data from @Salesforce
Generate comprehensive reports from multiple data sources with a single trigger.
- 03
Compile the exec scorecard
Teams typically see weekly → On-demand pulled straight from source data once the agent is in production.
- 04
Post it in @Slack
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.

Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
