Real-Time Notifications on Document Events

As FormKiQ provides full integration with your AWS Cloud Account, you can use FormKiQ's Document Events to trigger actions within AWS or to external workflows or vendors.

Build Custom Application and Administration Functionality to meet Customer and Compliance Needs

Due to FormKiQ's flexibility and open source code, it's possible to develop custom applications or customize FormKiQ components (such as the FormKiQ Document Console, built using ReactJS) to provide solutions for any customer or compliance requirements.
