Multiple Form Editors

  • Multiple editors in Feathery can now modify a form simultaneously. This enables an entire team to develop in parallel without being blocked on others.

Dev & Staging Forms

  • Form Promotion is an advanced feature designed for users who need to seamlessly manage multiple versions of a form. It allows you to swap one instance of a form with another, making it ideal for maintaining both a 'live' version of a form and a separate 'development' version.

    • When setting up an API connector powered by integration credentials, you can now set up the credentials directly in the API connector workflow.

Document Intelligence

  • Email inbox integration: Trigger document extractions directly from documents attached to your email threads. You can also initiate form submissions for any forms connected to the extracted data.
  • Extractions now support advanced logic rules that can run after the extraction completes and allow calling APIs, triggering other integrations, running additional extractions, and more.

  • A multi-value query can now be set with the following attributes.
    • Required: data *must* be found for this query
    • Unique: duplicate results for this query will not be included.
  • Extraction templates are now available. When creating an extraction, choose from a preset library of templates (e.g. bank transactions, holdings, etc.) and it will automatically populate with best-practice, commonly seen queries along with optimized processing logic.
  • Extraction results with lots of runs will now load and paginate faster.

Core Form Builder Improvements & Fixes

  • When leveraging the financial form template creator, an existing theme can now be selected for the template form to use.
  • The submission fetch API can now be ordered by the layout of fields in the form.
  • The static internal field ID is now returned in Feathery APIs and can be used to identify fields when submitting data via the form submission API.
  • When deleting a form, the name prompt won’t contain trailing whitespace.
  • Copying a form will intelligently link already linked fields and leave unlinked fields unlinked.
  • When generating a PDF template in Feathery, the default PDF font is now embedded to handle a known Acrobat issue with rendering symbols.

Quik Partnership & Integration

  • Feathery has partnered with Quik! Forms in enabling RIAs and broker-dealers to automatically open and transfer custodial client accounts. Instead of asking your clients to manually fill out tedious PDF docs that often ask for duplicate information, Feathery allows you to create a seamless client experience:
    • Ask for each piece of info only 1 time, and Feathery automatically generates every necessary custodian PDF with its fields filled.

AI Data Extraction V2

Feathery’s improved AI Data Extraction product can extract structured data from documents and images uploaded to your forms. You first can define questions using natural language, and then Feathery's AI will read the uploaded document and store answers within form fields. Finally, Feathery's AI results tab shows you the locations in the document where the AI extracted answers to each question from.

Our extraction solution uses the latest generative AI technology to achieve very high accuracy. Unlike other OCR solutions, you don't need to pre-train on hundreds of examples for our model to get the extraction correctly. Our product performs exceptionally well on tabular data, such as reading bank statements, investment reports and more. You can specify “multiple value” extractions that support extracting data about repeated entities in a document. For example, you can ask our model to “return a list of all stocks in the investment report, along with their quantity and market value”.

Documents

  • Our free plan now offers up to 5 free documents per month that can be signed or autofilled. 
  • Document fields can now be optional, meaning users don’t have to fill them out when signing a document
  • The audit log for a filled/signed document can now be downloaded from the envelope in the dashboard. Audit logs include key information such as IP addresses and timestamps of key events in the signature process such as when the document was first opened and signed.
  • Email verification can now be toggled on or off for signing a document via the document settings tab. This is helpful when you are already verifying user identity prior to signing
  • The Sign Documents button action allows you to fill documents and collect e-signatures on top of documents as a step of your form/workflow.

Workflows

  • We’ve revamped the experience for logged-in users with the “Viewer” role (made for users who should fill out forms and complete workflow tasks but not be able to edit them). Viewers now see a simplified experience without access to account settings or themes, or delete submissions. 
  • The roles and permissions of invited users can now be edited post-invite
  • Certain fields can be hidden from user groups in the results tab. This is helpful for sensitive information that not every user should be able to access.
  • Entire Feathery user groups can now be invited as part of the collaboration workflow. This is especially useful for assigning an internal team or department to review a submission. Anyone from that department can complete the collaborative submission/task.
  • Collaborative submissions can now be initiated from a public, non-collaborative form link. The first user filling out the form will take on the first collaborator role.

Advanced Logic Improvements

  • The authentication token for any connected integration can now be used in your API connectors, beyond just Salesforce and Hubspot. The syntax to reference the authentication token is {{integration-name_token}}. For example, to access your google sheets token to make an API request to add a few rows, you can reference {{google-sheets_token}} in your API connector and Feathery will automatically pass in the credentials server-side.
  • All Business accounts now have access to privileged logic, allowing them to use browser utilities in the Javascript editor such as window, navigator, etc. 
  • The placeholder of a field can be dynamically set via logic now.
  • Email and SMS messages can now be triggered via no-code actions in our no-code logic builder

New Integrations

  • Egnyte: Pull in Egnyte documents for use with Feathery’s AI Data Extraction features, and also store collected documents into Egnyte
  • Google Drive: we revamped our Google Drive integration to allow you to store uploaded files from your forms into a specified folder.

Collaborative Workflows

Feathery’s Collaborative Workflows feature allows multiple people to collaborate on a single form. You can specify the number of collaborators, assign form fields or steps to each collaborator, set the collaborator order, and more. You can also trigger integrations when the workflow is successfully completed by all collaborators, such as sending an email to all collaborators. Feathery also supports conditionally routing the form to collaborators based on logic you define in our no-code logic builder.

Here are some common use cases of collaborative workflows:

  • Approval workflows: route all submissions to a designated approver
  • Insurance broker and customer collaboration (ex: broker pre-fills some customer information and then sends it to the customer to verify)
  • Underwriting: route loan/insurance applications to designated underwriters based on their industry, business/account type, etc.
  • Wealth management: collaborate with clients, advisors and internal reviewers to collect information, verify and generate documents

Documents

  • A stylized PDF can now be exported of the form submission itself with all of the field data from the form
  • Document envelopes can now be assigned tags (ex: by customer name, location, etc) and filtered on (ex: showing all documents tagged with a customer)
  • Multiple documents can now be signed at once
  • Our PDF mapping now supports matrix fields and repeating fields
  • We have created a button action to allow users to sign all documents corresponding to a form submission at once (instead of requiring users to go to their email invitation to sign documents). This enables a seamless user experience of completing a form and signing all required documents at once.
  • We have an improved document mapping UX, with side panels for creating, updating, and deleting document fields
  • Improved document signing consent flow

Workflows

  • Collaborator invite emails can now be powered by the email integration to be completely custom (ex: having different invite emails per collaborator role)
  • The pending collaborator email and role can now be displayed in the results view. This allows you to see the current status of any collaborative form submission and who is the next assigned collaborator.

New Integrations

  • Telesign: Use Telesign's advanced authentication suite to verify users via Telesign's silent verification (a new instant way to verify identity through carriers), SMS one-time passcodes, and Voice OTP (for landlines).
