Forms

Turn paper processes into simple mobile conversations

Create employee forms, send them by SMS or web link, collect structured responses on mobile, and see exactly who has opened, responded, or still needs follow-up.

Paper to mobile

The form was never the problem. Chasing it was.

A clipboard by the door only works if someone walks past it, fills it in, and hands it back.

01
Printed and pinned up
The form exists on a clipboard by the door, or in a folder nobody opens.
02
Filled in when someone remembers
Hours after the thing it describes actually happened, if at all.
03
Left somewhere to be collected
A tray, a supervisor’s desk, the cab of a truck.
04
Typed up by hand
Someone re-keys it into a spreadsheet, and the handwriting is a guess.
05
Nobody knows who is missing
You have the ones that came back. The gap is invisible.
Form Builder

Build the workflow without rebuilding the process

Name the form, write the message that carries it, and arrange the questions. The live preview shows exactly what the employee will open.

Getting it to them

Send the form by SMS 

Employees get a direct SMS invitation with the link. They complete it on the phone they already carry — no separate app.

Tracking

Know who opened it, who responded, and who still needs follow-up

Every form carries its own counts, and every response is tied to the employee who sent it.

Responses

Structured, timestamped, exportable

Each response is tied to the employee who submitted it and the moment they did. Review them in Frekyl, or export the set as a spreadsheet.

Policy & document acknowledgement

No more guessing who signed off

Distribute the document, ask for an explicit acknowledgement, and keep the record of who gave it and when.

1
Send the document
By SMS invitation or a shared web link, to the people it applies to.
2
Ask for the acknowledgement
The employee reviews it and confirms explicitly through the form.
3
Watch it come back
Opened, acknowledged, or still outstanding — per person, in one view.
4
Keep the record
A timestamped response history you can review or export later.
Connected workflow

When an absence needs paperwork back

A reported absence can trigger the form it requires — a doctor’s note request, an attendance policy acknowledgement — without anyone remembering to send it.

Absence Reporting
The absence is reported
By text or automated call. The reason code and dates land as a structured record.
Your rule
It meets a condition you set
A third day out, a particular reason code, a return after long-term leave.
Forms
The right form sends itself
A doctor’s note request or an attendance policy acknowledgement, straight to that employee.
Manager
The paperwork comes back tracked
Responded or outstanding, timestamped — no one chasing a signature by email.

Questions

Forms FAQs

How are Frekyl Forms sent to employees?

By SMS invitation carrying the form link. The employee opens it on their phone and completes it there.

Do employees need an app?

No. The form opens in the phone’s browser from the link. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Can Forms be used for policy acknowledgements?

Yes. Share the policy or document, ask the employee to review it, and collect an explicit acknowledgement through the form. Frekyl records it with a timestamp and keeps the response history.

Can Forms track who opened or responded?

Yes. Each form carries sent, open, replied and pending counts, so you can see how far a form has actually travelled rather than assuming.

Can managers see who is still outstanding?

Yes. The response view lists respondents individually, with anyone who has not answered marked as outstanding.

Can managers send reminders?

Yes. Outstanding employees can be sent a reminder directly from the response view.

Can responses be exported?

Yes. A form’s responses can be exported as a spreadsheet from the response view.

Can employees upload photos?

Yes. A photo upload question lets the employee take or attach a photo — useful for incident and near-miss reporting.

Can we turn an existing paper form into a Frekyl Form?

Yes. Upload a PDF or Word document, or paste the text, and Import with AI creates an editable draft. Review and adjust the questions before launching it.

Can Forms follow a Broadcast Notification?

Yes, where configured. Broadcast handles the outbound message and a follow-up form collects the structured response — a safety check-in after a storm, for example.
