No-Code Forms That Automate Team Workflows Instantly for Projects

Despite the rise of modern tools and dashboards, project-based teams still struggle with one of the oldest bottlenecks in work execution: capturing structured inputs through forms.

Whether it’s onboarding a new team member, requesting a budget, or logging a project issue—forms are the gateway to action. But creating and managing forms often means IT tickets, long wait times, and disconnected systems that slow everything down.

In fact, employees spend nearly 1.8 hours every day—9.3 hours per week—just searching for and gathering information they need to do their jobs, according to a widely cited McKinsey report on the social economy.

That’s not just lost time—it’s lost momentum. Especially in project environments where workflows depend on structured data and timely approvals.

And yet, most teams are still stuck waiting on developers or relying on rigid tools to build basic forms.

The Problem with Traditional Form Creation in Projects

In a digital workplace, process agility is no longer optional. According to Forrester’s Global Digital Process Automation Survey, 75% of organizations expect business users to participate in process improvement efforts, but 57% admit they don’t have a clear strategy to enable this shift.

That’s a big gap.

Teams want to move faster—but lack the tools and autonomy to take ownership of the processes that drive execution.

This is where Nimble’s DIY Form Builder comes in.

It’s not just a form tool. It’s a no-code form-building feature embedded inside the Nimble project management platform, giving business users the power to build their own forms, automate approvals, and integrate inputs directly into their project workflows—without needing to code or consult IT.

And the results are immediate:

• Fewer delays
• Cleaner inputs
• Better cross-team accountability

Faster time from request to action

Meet Nimble’s DIY Business Form Builder

Designed specifically for project-driven teams, Nimble’s DIY Form Builder is a no-code tool that lets anyone—project managers, team leads, HR, finance, or legal—build powerful, professional-grade forms in minutes.

✅ No code
✅ No IT tickets
✅ Seamless integration into your project workflows

With drag-and-drop simplicity, smart logic, and instant deployment, it empowers every team to move faster without sacrificing structure or governance.

And because it’s built directly inside Nimble, the forms you create aren’t siloed—they’re embedded in your workboards, task views, and process flows.

Why It Matters: Forms That Fuel Execution, Not Friction

Integrated Into Your Projects

Unlike standalone form tools (like Google Forms or Typeform), Nimble Forms live inside your project ecosystem. That means form submissions can:

• Trigger task creation
• Populate dashboards
• Kick off automated workflows
• Route approvals to the right stakeholder

All without switching tools.

No More IT Bottlenecks

Non-technical users can independently create, publish, and update forms—without relying on engineering or operations teams. This frees up developer capacity while empowering business teams.

Fast Time-to-Launch

Create and deploy a live, mobile-friendly form in under 10 minutes. From urgent incident reports to onboarding questionnaires—DIY Forms adapt to your pace.

Built for Every Function in the Org

From project management and operations to HR, legal, and finance—every team benefits from simplified intake and data capture:

What You Can Build With It (Expanded Use Cases)

Nimble’s DIY Form Builder empowers every team to design workflows that are tailored to how they actually work—without switching between tools. Here’s how different departments can leverage it to automate and streamline key processes:

Employee Onboarding Forms

Simplify HR’s work by capturing all the information needed to onboard new team members—without endless email chains. Forms can collect personal details, equipment preferences, access requests, role-specific documents, and even training schedules. Once submitted, the data can automatically trigger tasks on an onboarding board, assign training checklists, or notify IT to prepare hardware.

Connected To: HR project boards, task checklists, and compliance workflows

Project Intake & Approval Forms

Standardize how new project ideas or initiatives are submitted across the organization. Include fields for project goals, timelines, budgets, stakeholders, and departments. Based on form logic, submissions can be routed for approval, prioritized on an intake board, or auto-converted into project cards.

Helps With: Reducing idea backlog chaos and maintaining a formal intake process

Leave Request & Time-off Forms

Enable employees to submit leave requests directly through a structured, validated form—no manual entries, no Slack messages that get lost. Managers get automatic notifications, and approvals can be tracked on a dedicated HR workflow board. You can add logic like blackout date alerts or maximum leave caps for better control.

Benefit: Cuts down approval time and improves leave visibility across teams

Purchase Order & Vendor Request Forms

Procurement and finance teams can create forms for raising purchase requests, registering new vendors, or submitting invoices. You can embed fields for budget codes, item breakdowns, expected delivery, and upload supporting quotes. Approval logic ensures requests are reviewed based on value thresholds or department.

Connected To: Finance workflows, expense tracking boards, vendor master databases

Feedback, Surveys & Issue Logs

Whether you’re capturing team feedback after a sprint, collecting client inputs, or logging internal issues, you can use custom forms that tie directly to feedback boards. Assign responsible team members based on category (UI, Dev, Process), and even set priorities automatically based on dropdown selections.

Use Case: Continuous improvement loops in Agile retrospectives or customer projects

Incident & Support Ticket Forms

Replace outdated IT ticket systems with fast, form-based reporting. Teams can raise support issues, facility complaints, or security incidents using a pre-configured form. Conditional fields make sure the right data is collected based on issue type, and submissions trigger tasks on a central support board.

Best For: IT, Admin, or Security departments handling internal service requests

By enabling each team to build their own intake and action forms—with logic, workflows, and assignments—Nimble ensures that no request falls through the cracks, and every input leads to structured execution.

How It Works: Build in 3 Simple Steps

Step 1: Start With a Blank Canvas

From within Nimble, click “Create Form.” You’ll start with a clean layout where you can define the form’s name, purpose, and linked workflows.

Step 2: Drag and Drop Fields

Add fields with a few clicks—text inputs, dropdowns, dates, checkboxes, document uploads, etc. Arrange them into sections or tabs and reorder easily for optimal UX.

Step 3: Add Logic and Go Live

Use built-in tools to apply:

• Conditional field visibility
• Smart validations (e.g., mandatory fields, value ranges)
• Decorators (icons, highlights, tooltips)
• Approval routing logic

Then publish instantly—your form becomes available on both web and mobile.

Bonus Features That Make Forms Smarter

Conditional Logic Without Code

Want to show a field only if the user selects “Yes”? Need to trigger a manager approval only if a purchase exceeds ₹10,000? Done—with no scripts.

Reusable Sections

Group frequently used elements—like contact info, approval checklists, document uploads—into reusable blocks. Build once, use across multiple forms.

Live Preview

See your form in real time as you build. What you preview is exactly what your team or external users will experience.

Field-Level Validations

Reduce data errors by applying validations on field inputs, formats, and required fields. This keeps submissions clean and ready for automated workflows.

Real-World Example: A Project Intake Workflow

Let’s say a PMO team needs to collect new project requests across departments. Instead of emailing templates or relying on Slack messages, they:

1. Create a Project Intake Form in Nimble with:
   • Project title
   • Business justification
   • Requested budget
   • Department
   • Stakeholders
2. Add logic to route approval based on budget size
3. Publish the form and embed the link on the company intranet
4. Submissions automatically:
   • Create a task card on the PMO board
   • Assign the intake reviewer
   • Populate reporting dashboards

What once took days and multiple emails now happens instantly, in a single flow.

Why Nimble, Not Standalone Tools?

Most form builders aren’t designed for execution—they’re built for surveys or isolated data collection. With Nimble, forms are deeply connected to action:
