Sios Technology Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Nobuo Kita; hereinafter, Sios Technology) will strengthen its integration with "kintone," provided by Cybozu Inc., within its cloud workflow "Gluegent Flow."
Accompanying this, a new feature, the "Gluegent Flow Integration Plugin," which automates data transfer from kintone to "Gluegent Flow," will be available starting April 22, 2026. By utilizing this feature in conjunction with the existing data transfer from "Gluegent Flow" to kintone, bidirectional data integration between "Gluegent Flow" and kintone will become possible.
[Background]
Currently, kintone has been adopted by over 42,000 companies and is widely used as a platform supporting corporate business improvement. As kintone's business use expands across departments, complex inter-departmental approval processes that previously existed become visible, posing a challenge. In particular, setting up approval flows with complex conditional branching, such as "department x amount," using only kintone's standard functions was highly difficult and burdensome for the field.
On the other hand, user companies utilizing "Gluegent Flow" had requests such as "We want to directly link data from kintone to Gluegent Flow" and "We want to eliminate manual double entry and transcription errors." In response to these backgrounds, the development of a new feature that resolves challenges related to complex approval flows and achieves "bidirectional data integration" was realized.
[Service Overview]
The new "Gluegent Flow Integration Plugin" eliminates manual work and maintains data accuracy through seamless integration between kintone and "Gluegent Flow."
1. Initiating applications from kintone: New feature "Gluegent Flow Integration Plugin"
By placing a plugin button on the kintone screen and simply pressing it, applications for "Gluegent Flow" can be initiated. Data on kintone is automatically transferred to the "Gluegent Flow" application form, eliminating the effort and errors of manual transcription.
2. Data transfer from "Gluegent Flow" to kintone: Detailed procedures for "Automatic Data Registration Settings" released
By releasing detailed procedures for the existing data transfer from "Gluegent Flow" to kintone, we support measures against setting errors and smooth data integration. The timing of data transfer can be freely set according to the business flow, such as at the time of application, approval, or final decision. Final data that has gone through the organizational decision-making process can be reflected in kintone in real-time, creating an environment where data can be kept accurate and up-to-date more quickly.
