About

altaFlow is a document-first, no-code automation platform designed to streamline and govern document-driven business workflows by combining document generation, smart forms, eSignatures, and workflow automation into a single system. It enables organizations to transform static documents into intelligent, self-operating workflows that connect people, data, and systems across tools like CRM and ERP platforms. Users can build custom workflows through a drag-and-drop interface, allowing processes such as contract generation, approvals, quoting, onboarding, and invoicing to be automated without coding. It includes dynamic document generation that pulls data directly from connected systems to ensure accuracy, as well as web-based forms that capture information and trigger workflows instantly upon submission. It also features automation bots that validate data, send reminders, and move documents between systems, eliminating manual handoffs and reducing delays.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ability to quickly build forms and pseudo apps that perform well and integrate into a Microsoft 365 Domain. With Power Automate and a "bot" account bridging the integration gaps as a caveat. Delivery on the promise of automation. Vastly reduces the amount of time, tasks and training required for an end user to perform a cornucopia of business processes. Once a given process has been assembled. With few and slight exceptions, a very well polished and smooth experience for the end users of forms created with this product. Forms function on any device and can be managed from any device.

Cons

  • The user experience for the creators of forms and workflows of this product. There is a lot of jank. Ranging from UI problems when setting up variables in the workflow and bots section. To unexpected behavior on certain characters between elements and integrations. Nearly non-existent documentation for any specific part of any item in this package. Much trial and error and tribal knowledge needs to be acquired to use this product to its potential. Poor performance in a certain few areas. Especially large forms when regarding the variables when setting up bots. Forms with 100+ variables begin to take significant amounts of time (1m+) for every single update to a given mapping table. This is exacerbated by slower PCs. 0 version control and 0 ability to move elements from one flow into another in the same workspace.
