Kyoto, Japan – July 8th, 2019 – Questetra, Inc., the global SaaS provider of Business Process Management (BPM), today announced that they have published the new version 11.11 of the Cloud-based Workflow product «Questetra BPM Suite» on Jul. 8th, 2019. This new version introduces a mechanism of automatically appending rows to a Google Sheets using only the standard features.

In daily work, various systems and services besides Workflow systems are used within the organization for the purpose of sales support, file storage/sharing, communication, collaboration, etc. In order to improve the convenience and productivity of users, it is essential to automate data coordination and processing among these multiple services.

Up to now «Questetra BPM Suite» has been capable of passing and receiving data in cooperation with external services by setting up HTTP communication or importing packaged «Add-ons» for communication processing, but knowledge of APIs and preparations in advance were required for them. In v11.11 a Service Task that performs the function has been added. By using the Service Task you will be able to build a system such as an «Order acceptance flow», for example, in which data concerning an order is automatically added to a Google Sheets right after the approval Step is processed, without the need for any extra programming.

Questetra BPM Suite

Process owners of each Business Process can practice “improvement of Business Process” little by little in daily work. (Examples of Business Flow Diagram: https://en.workflow-sample.net/ )
