I used to work at a fintech and managing our KYC workflow was a major pain point for our entire product team. It's crazy thinking of all the hours and effort we could have saved ourselves if we had been using Anvil instead of trying to handle it all on our own.
When we build user consent forms into fforward we're not going to make the same mistake again. Thanks for building Anvil and congrats to the whole team on the launch.
@maxcameron No need to reinvent the wheel, right? Thanks for sharing that story.
@maxcameron I don't know any engineer that likes to manually build webforms for PDFs. Anvil helps free up that time for them to work on more interesting projects. KYC, onboarding, statement generation are all super common use cases that we encounter regularly. Looking forward to working with the fforward team.
Hey there, congrats on your launch (love the video btw)
If you feel like discovering an inline course builder that will allow you to share your expertise (and you must have a lot of things to share with the world), come check out Tilda's launch :)
@obukhov_nikita Thanks Nikita - it was fun to create! Congrats on your team's launch, too!
The real test will be its flexibility and how much it actually accelerates project timelines. Congrats and good luck.
@dimitrie_baitanciuc Thanks Dimitrie, taking work of your plate is our goal! Let us know if you have any questions or want to chat about your use case!
@dimitrie_baitanciuc If you have a project in mind, happy to spend some time solutioning with you. I always love hearing about new use cases for Anvil.
Wow, this looks so useful! Is there a way to subscribe to events in the document flow, e.g. webhooks?
@david_winer Thanks David! Yep, we support webhooks, see the docs here! Let us know if you have any more questions
Hey ! Looks amazing ! Could you please let me know if the esignature feature is compliant with EIDAS (Europe certification)? If you answer is "yes", count me in asap ! ;)
@christophe_h Hey Christophe, CTO here. Yes! Our signatures are EIDAS "advanced" compliant. Let us know if you have any other questions
@manggit This solves a really important pain point. How do you differentiate from other document workflow products?
@ayan_bandyopadhyay Hey Ayan great question! I would say Anvil differentiates on a couple of dimensions.
1. Anvil brings together a bunch of related solutions into a cohesive package. Instead of connecting a form builder with a document generation system with an e-sign solution. Anvil's provides all three and they work together really well.
2. I find most solutions are either developer friendly but complex, or easy to use but simple. Anvil balances the two, no-code when you want to build quickly and enable a non-technical team, and robust API's and webhooks for when you want that deep integration.
3. Anvil just works :)
@manggit @ayan_bandyopadhyay I also want to add that because Anvil is purpose built for creating user friendly web-based (and device agnostic) experiences for documents, we have a lot of features that make interacting with or building for really complicated PDFs almost delightful. Handling tables in PDFs is a good example of something that Anvil does really elegantly but other products miss the mark on or don't handle at all.
PDFs are so frustrating to work with but it's often a format people expect or require. Love that this makes it easy to fill PDFs with a webform (and API....)
@stash_new dont we know it! Getting PDF*ed is a real thing. At an old job, everytime a PDF was updated, I would have to spend a day hand coding the changes into our system. It was the worst.
@ashley_hyman1 ❤️ we love working with the Drata team to make sure we are secure and compliant. Super important when we work with a bunch of financial institutions.
We totally need this in our real estate workflows. We're going to take this for a test drive. So glad people like you are making it easy for us to look good for our clients!
@nilsbunger Thanks Nils! Love it, definitely let us know if you have any questions!
@nilsbunger thank you! Happy to talk you through how other proptech teams use Anvil. You might also check out this case study: https://www.useanvil.com/blog/cu...
@sridhar_koneru Yes, definitely! You can populate data on webforms, e-signature packets, and fill docs via the API from your own system. We also have a Zapier integration, so you can connect anything up to Anvil without code
Looks like an awesome product, I'd love to not have to deal with PDFs!!! What are Anvil's compliance policies? Specifically for financial customers?
@amy_foster we have been SOCII Type 2 compliant for 4 years running! We also go to great lengths to ensure that security best practices are followed. Some of our best customers are financial institutions from alternative investments to banks and even title companies.
@nikolai_stosch every industry has paperwork! Thanks for the vote of confidence in the team.
This is awesome! I can see soooo many use cases for this. This SDK looks like a GAME CHANGER!? 👀
@richard_herrada Oh man love the excitement! Yes we think there are an infinite number of use cases. The best is when Blockchain and AI companies sign up for Anvil, you think you can avoid paperwork, but it will always find a way. 😛
Congrats on the launch @manggit 🚀
Your explainer video is so fun! ❤️
Anvil seems really great.
I know a tech founder who's building a form-heavy startup. Gonna tell him about Anvil now.
Congrats again!
