Collecting data from staff using forms, sending reminders etc
1 project | /r/software | 11 Oct 2023

I previously used formtools.org for a similar project but that was a one off and it didn't have auto reminders as part of the work flow. When I search for workflow tools I get what appears to be something completely different. When I search for for builder its often elements to allow your full app to easily present forms (I don't have my own app).
Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?

I think that you are asking for https://formtools.org/ on the end user stuff.
self hosted forms?

Give FormTools a try. I've been using it with forms embedded in a website, but I believe it also lets you generate forms directly within the software.

Don't know if this would be right thing for you, but I Googled "open source mysql forms" and this looks cool: https://formtools.org
