Enhancing Workflow Efficiency with NotePM and Kintone Integration

On September 6, 2026, Project Mode, a subsidiary of Toyokumo, unveiled an exciting new feature for their knowledge management SaaS, NotePM. This update introduces integration with Kintone, a no-code and low-code application development platform by Cybozu. With this enhancement, users can now access manuals directly within their Kintone applications, streamlining workflows and reducing confusion during data entry.

The Importance of Clear Guidance

Kintone is designed to facilitate a multitude of business processes, from customer management to expense reports. However, the complexity of each application can often leave users uncertain about what information to enter, leading to confusion and time delays. Traditionally, manuals were stored separately from the application interface, making them difficult to reference when needed.

By embedding NotePM-created manuals within the Kintone app interface, users can now verify entry rules and guidelines in real-time. This innovation eliminates the need for users to switch tabs to search for guidance or wait for assistance from knowledgeable colleagues, significantly reducing response times for inquiries and the risk of data entry errors.

Key Features of the Integration

1. Manual Display for Each Kintone App

Users can configure which manual appears for each Kintone application. This adaptability is especially beneficial for first-time users. They can confidently enter data, knowing they have instant access to the necessary rules and protocols. Gone are the days of flipping through different documents or seeking support, as users can now proceed with their tasks more efficiently.

2. User Synchronization

Another major aspect of this integration is the user information synchronization between Kintone and NotePM. This feature allows for seamless registration, where users' names and email addresses are automatically pulled from Kintone, eliminating the need for tedious manual input during initial setup. Such automation significantly lessens the administrative burden when onboarding new users.

Availability and Pricing

This integration feature became available on September 6, 2026, at no additional cost for all NotePM plans. However, users must have a subscription to the Standard course of Kintone or higher to benefit from this functionality.

Future Developments

Project Mode plans to showcase this innovative feature at the upcoming Cybozu Days 2026 exhibition on November 12 and 13. The company aims to continue strengthening its integration with Kintone and other external services, paving the way for further functional enhancements in the future.

Understanding Kintone

With over 42,000 businesses utilizing Kintone, it stands as a leading tool for no-code and low-code app development. Kintone empowers users without extensive IT knowledge to create customized applications that align with their organizational needs. The platform excels in evolving with business demands, incorporating essential functionalities like database management, workflows, and communication, thereby supporting continuous improvement in business operations.
