 * I’m looking for a plugin that allows for an approval workflow of submitted forms
   from the frontend. In my particular case, we’re a church that is looking to allow
   our people to submit proposals for classes they want to teach, and we want to
   establish a workflow for reviewing and approving the proposals.
 * Formstack looks like a great option, but it’s also way out of our price range.
   I’m not opposed to paying for a plugin if it does what I want, but I can’t justify
   $75/month for the volume we’ll likely receive at least for the foreseeable future.
 * Also worth mentioning, I’m not wedded to doing this through a plugin, so if anyone
   knows of a standalone service that would do the job I’m all for it.

 * Have you tried out [Oasis Workflow plugin ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/oasis-workflow/)
   for your editorial workflow requirements? I’m the developer for Oasis Workflow
   plugin and I created the plugin with the intention to automate the editorial 
   review workflow in wordpress.
 * The “Pro” version comes with a lot of neat features like multiple workflows, 
   support for document revisions, teams etc, but I will let you explore the free
   version before jumping on to the “Pro” version.

 * Nuggetsol, I’ve looked at it but it’s not really what I need. I’m needing to 
   review submitted forms, not submitted articles.

 * Ah ha.
    Here’s a thought…
 * If a custom plugin can convert/create the submitted forms into a post/page with
   certain tags/categories, then, those posts/pages can be auto submitted into a
   workflow.
 * Will that be something that will work?
 * The only missing piece is to convert/create submitted forms into a post/page 
   and assign it to a specific category and or tags, rest will be taken care by 
   the Oasis Workflow plugin.

 * Hmm, that would be interesting. I might could make that work, provided the posts
   could be kept private.

 * Yes, you can configure the workflow to publish the article privately.
 * Essentially, the last step of the workflow will be an assignment step with success
   step setting the status to “private”.
 * If you need more information on how to setup the workflow, you can submit a query
   at [https://www.oasisworkflow.com/submit-a-query](https://www.oasisworkflow.com/submit-a-query)
 * I will be able to send you screen shots of how the workflow will look like.
 * Hope this helps.
