Its only been one week since Google I/O, but already some of the functionality that was announced by Google is being offered by third-party vendors. Today, it’s OrangeScape, which is offering a number of quick action buttons in its KiSSFLOW workflow builder.
The quick action buttons in question enable users to perform actions from inside the subject line of an email without ever having to openit. According to Google, the launch of quick actions buttons in emails make emails more interactive by enabling third-party products to deliver a slice of those apps into their users’ inboxes.
OrangeScape KiSSFLOW
Let’s take a quick look at KiSSFLOW.The brainchildof start-up OrangeScape, KiSSFLOW, or Keep it Simple & Smart Workflow, is a workflowproductthat has been built specifically with Google Apps in mind.
It offers users a simple, visual way of building and automating workflows around their email use and puts the design of these workflows in the hands of business users rather than developers by providing a way to manage and change workflows without having to change the code. Specifically, it enables business users that are migrating to Google Apps to move their existing workflows based on Lotus Notes.
The result is that businesses can create workflows for common business documents like expense reports or expense claims,in a small number of easy steps.
