Streamlining monitoring and evaluation workflows with the enhanced TolaData KoboToolbox integration

We are excited to introduce the enhanced integration between KoboToolbox and TolaData that can help users to streamline their data collection and reporting workflows for improved project monitoring and evaluation. In line with our commitment to enabling positive change and supporting organizations to make an impact, we are proud to offer this integration to KoboToolbox and TolaData users.

With the new TolaData auto-pull feature, data collected using KoboToolbox can be directly integrated with project indicators and reporting in TolaData, optimizing resources by eliminating the time-intensive process of manually updating data.

How it works

The TolaData auto-pull feature allows organizations to automatically synchronize data submissions in KoboToolbox with TolaData’s tools for measuring project progress and results. To set up the integration, users can connect their KoboToolbox account to TolaData using their KoboToolbox API key and then select the specific forms in KoboToolbox that they want to connect to their TolaData data tables. Users can also create auto-pull rules for each project indicator in TolaData to define how form data will be used to calculate indicator results. With the new auto-pull feature, data from KoboToolbox is instantly synchronized in TolaData, ensuring that project indicators and disaggregated data are up to date and accurate.

Automated efficiency with TolaData and KoboToolbox

The enhanced integration between TolaData and KoboToolbox provides a comprehensive solution for end-to-end data management. By automating the flow of data from KoboToolbox to TolaData’s tracking and reporting system, organizations can leverage the advantages of a seamless full-cycle process across the two platforms.

By automating monitoring and evaluation workflows, the new feature offers many benefits for organizations working in the development and humanitarian sectors including:

• Enhanced efficiency: Automatically synchronizing data collected via KoboToolbox with TolaData gives teams more time to focus on analyzing data and identifying insights.
• Improved data accuracy: Eliminating manual updates reduces the risk of error, supporting more effective reporting and project tracking.
• Greater flexibility: Combining KoboToolbox’s offline functionality and device compatibility with TolaData’s reporting tools enables data-informed decision-making, regardless of location or connectivity.
