Overview

The following list consists of all the Decisions-built modules as well as those on GitHub available for installation. Before installing, read the description of the desired module, and ensure all prerequisites are met to meet intended functionalities.

Active Directory Module

The Active Directory module introduces new Flow steps that allow users to build Flows centered around managing the Active Directory such as creating users, groups, associations, and more.

Approvals Module

The Approvals module offers several pre-built Flows that are primarily used for tracking request and approval activity within an organization. Approvals offer both basic and comprehensive Flows that scale from simple approvals to handling multi-level, parallel, or tracked approvals, and more. Designers can use the Approval Flows in their own workflow directly, as a subflow, or simply as a model to base a new design on. After installing the Approvals Module, a suite of new pre-built Flow options will become available.

For additional information or help on getting started with Approvals in Decisions, please refer to the documents listed below.

The Docusign module introduces new Flow steps to send documents to Docusign that capture electronic signatures and initials. The steps are limited to using X,Y positioning on the document for marking signature locations. Additionally, Docusign’s “Tag” feature indicates areas in the document that require signatures. 

Once a document is sent to Docusign through a Decisions workflow, the Wait On External Event step monitors Docusign to pull the document back to the Flow once it completes.
