Infinite Possibilities of Form QA
After understanding the basic triggers and form structures, this article will take you deeper into exploring practical application scenarios of Form QA. Through flexible use, you can transform DMflow forms into powerful business tools.
Application 1: Connecting Calendar and Privacy Protection
You can set triggers to synchronize updates to your Google Calendar when forms are added, deleted, or modified.
- Advantage: This provides an excellent layer of privacy protection. You can open the form to customers for reservation or viewing, and customers can only see the date events you added on DMflow (i.e., “reserved” slots), without needing to expose all private schedules on your Google Calendar.
Application 2: Building an Exclusive Reservation System
Using the Reserve component, you can quickly build a reservation system. Combined with the calendar connection mentioned above, you can achieve a fully automated process from “Customer Reservation” to “Calendar Synchronization”.
Application 3: Creating Complex Workflows
Triggers are usually used to handle row creation, modification, and deletion events. But you can also add “Non-Form Created” triggers to connect services yourself based on specific conditions.
Inventory Deduction Case (Data Locking): Suppose you have a product form, product is “Apple”, quantity is 5. You can design a workflow:
- Whenever an order is established (click purchase), trigger modification event.
- Quantity automatically decreases by one.
- Set check condition: quantity cannot be less than zero.
- Locking Mechanism: In the same step, modification to that data row is “locked”, which prevents overselling (Race Condition) when multiple people rush to buy at the same time.
Other Application Scenarios
- Lead Preservation (Leads): Create a form specifically to collect visitor information as a database for business development.
- Notification Messages: Automatically send LINE or Email notifications to administrators when new data is imported into the form.
- Upload Files: Create a form dedicated to file uploads, convenient for collecting customer proof documents or portfolios.
