Phase 01Discovery & Current-State Assessment
We walk the process as it runs today — who fills in what, who checks it, where it waits, and what gets retyped. We inventory existing forms and templates, and we look at your Salesforce org: objects, required fields, record types, validation rules and the automation already in place. Skipping this is why implementations get rebuilt: the form is easy, the data model underneath it is not.
Phase 02Solution Architecture & Data Design
We decide where each piece of data belongs, which object a submission writes to, how records are matched to avoid duplicates, and which platform owns each part of the workflow. This is also where we set the configuration-versus-development boundary, so the build has no surprises in it and you know what you are paying for.
Phase 03Configuration & Template Design
Forms, conditional logic, field mapping, prefill and PDF templates get built in Jotform. Document templates are designed against your brand and whatever your legal or compliance team requires, with conditional sections so one template covers variants rather than spawning six near-copies. Template governance is agreed here, not later.
Phase 04Integration, Automation & Customization
The Salesforce connection is built and tested, then the automation around it: Flow or Apex on submission, approval routing, notifications, and any API or webhook work for systems without a connector. Error handling is built in the same pass — retries, a queue for failed writes, and alerting — because a silent failure is worse than a visible one.
Phase 05Testing, Validation & Training
We test with real data and real edge cases, not the happy path: missing fields, duplicate submitters, abandoned approvals, failed payments. We verify the record lands correctly, the document renders correctly, and permissions hold. Then we train the people who will run it — including the admin who will add the next form without calling us.
Phase 06Deployment, Support & Optimization
A controlled rollout, usually one team or one workflow first, with the old process available until the new one has proven itself. After go-live we watch the data that matters — submission volume, approval turnaround, where people abandon the form — and tune it. Most of the value in the second quarter comes from what that data tells you.
