About

Develop the automations that work for you. With ThinkAutomation, you get an open-ended studio to build any and every automated workflow you could ever need. All without volume limitations, and all without paying per process, license or ‘robot’.

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

  • We are a long time ThinkAutomation customer, having started with email2db, then ThinkAutomation v4 and now the brilliantly executed ThinkAutomation v5. As a long ago software engineer and systems architect, TA5 provides a very easy to implement, expansive REST and JSON focused world of automation enabling any to any systems integrations which are key to any mult-channel e-commerce business. Further, their ability to integrate C# ‘scripts’, and ever expanding downloadable automation libraries, their simple to advanced language constructs and extensibility, means that this BPA engine can be strategically adopted by any business, small to enterprise class, to automate whatever manual processes and forward looking advantageous business extensions you wish. And let me tell you, TA5 is rocket fast!
  • Once you're used to the software, it's simple to use and extremely flexible and drives a lot of the automation of our internal processes.
  • It's easy to use, has many integrations and triggers, low cost, fixed fee and fully customisable. The moto is if you can think it you can Automate it and that has held true. Within our business and for clients we have used ThinkAutomation to eliminate mundane manual effort and give time back to the business to drive greater customer value-add activities.
  • - All round integration and extraction options - Integration with Azure - A helpful support desk and customer success managers - Extensive scripting options
  • ThinkAutomation has been a very useful piece of software that has allowed our IT team to not only automate a lot of our processes but has also helped save both our IT and HR team time. Another pro to mention would be the support team, when we've had previous issues, the team have responded immediately whether through live chat or email.

Cons

  • I had concerns with TA4 because of its more limited capabilities, it TA5 changes the game.
  • I think a couple of things it could improve on, are examples to work with, some areas (such as connecting it to an API to extract data) are lacking examples to show "what good looks like" so you spend a lot of time working it out yourself. I'd like the option to choose what email to bring into the find & extract helper, not just "get last". Copying and pasting an email into this works differently to how it reads an actual email.
  • There is no detailed workflow visualisation for your automations.
  • - Still some errors in the newly added features (bugs) - Documentation on Azure could be more elaborate - I am missing tutorials on writing scripts and creating triggers/integrations
  • We have had a few issues with ThinkAutomation, a lot of it we didn't fully understand and other aspects were due to the features in TA4 being Beta so not yet fully integrated into the software. Every so often these little issues still pop up but thanks to the support team we have a lot of it under control and know how to fix the issue going forward.

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.
