Enable caseworkers to give service providers a PDF with information about referred constituents so that the providers can deliver their service more effectively.
The provider referral guided flow includes three PDF form templates that share constituent data from relevant objects with service providers. When caseworkers create referrals by using the provider referral guided flow, they select a template, and the flow creates a PDF filled with data from the referred constituent’s records. The flow attaches the PDF to the referral for the provider’s reference.
- ShareChildWelfareInformation.pdf
- Adds information about the referred constituent from the Account, Assessment Question, Assessment Question Response, Benefit Assignment, Case, Contact, Goal Assignment, and Party Relationship Group objects.
- ShareJobCounselingInformation.pdf
- Adds information about the referred constituent from the Account, Benefit Assignment, Contact, Goal Assignment, and Person Employment objects.
- ShareWorkshopInformation.pdf

Customize the PDF templates that we provide, or create your own and upload them to Public Sector. Then, update the provider referral flow to fill the PDF template with information from constituent records.
The PDF templates are available as documents in Salesforce Classic.
