How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

1

Connect

Connect: Authenticate with Cognito Forms API credentials (requires Pro/Teams/Enterprise plan). Setup completes in ~10 minutes with automatic webhook configuration for real-time sync.
2

Ask

Query: Ask "Which forms have pending manager approvals?" and your agent surfaces workflow statuses, rejection reasons, user roles, and decision timestamps across all active forms with conditional logic.
3

Act

Act: Your agent updates form field requirements, triggers approval workflow transitions, modifies conditional logic rules, pauses high-rejection forms, and syncs submission data bidirectionally with your CRM — all logged in the audit trail.

AI Agent Access

Your agent doesn't just read Cognito Forms — it optimizes it.

Read

Read: Form submissions with all field responses, workflow approval statuses and decisions, user role assignments, payment transactions (Stripe/Square/PayPal), electronic signatures, file upload metadata, lookup field values, repeating section data, rating scale responses, conditional logic outcomes, and audit logs.

Write

Write: Update existing form entry values, trigger workflow state changes and approvals, modify conditional logic rules, adjust field requirements and validation, pause/resume form collection, populate forms from external records for edit workflows, and sync submission data bidirectionally with CRM and marketing automation platforms.

Monitor

Monitor: Real-time alerts on submission spikes or drops, workflow approval bottlenecks, high form abandonment rates, payment transaction failures, unusual rejection patterns by manager role, compliance audit log anomalies, and integration sync errors with external systems.

Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can update form fields, trigger workflow approvals, modify conditional logic rules, and sync submission data bidirectionally with your CRM. When your agent detects low-performing forms, it can automatically adjust field requirements or pause collection. Every write action is logged in Improvado's audit trail with timestamp, agent identity, and change rationale.
