There are three main ways for you to have information flow through into your project management system:

Using the email-in feature to send data to a particular workspace, project or client record
Connect a webform builder like Typeform and have the information emailed in or synced using Zapier
Use the webform feature that comes with some project management software systems

Side note: The main issue that we see clients have is trying to have information flow from a client and then update the existing client project or record in their system. Updating a project or adding a comment through email or a sync is quite common but trying to link the information to a particular client record can be quite difficult.

In terms of project management software that includes the option for webforms, the two main systems that we recommend are:

Podio webforms
Pipefy webforms

From these two options, Podio offers more webform styling options and also allows you to have a webform be used to partially complete a client project or client record which can be helpful when you want a client to complete some details and then have staff internally complete the rest of the information.

For the past 10 years, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients and tens of thousands of students to help them get a clear picture of how to systemise their business. We’re not fans of spam, cheap mass-marketing tactics or automating your business to within an inch of it’s life. We are fans of a customer experience where humans deal with humans, skills are appreciated, personality is maintained and where clients get more value than they expected. We’re also fans of automating any process that doesn’t deliver client-facing value in a simple, easy-to-maintain way.

In a nutshell, we provide advice, implementation support & training to small to medium, service-based businesses to help them deliver a better customer experience & a more automated workflow. Everyone on the same page, moving in the same direction with a clear picture of who does what.
