💡 Pro tip 2: Drafting doesn't need to be all about template documents - you can also use the automation for already prepared external documents!

To allow for more use cases, you can allow users to upload files on their own when drafting from a template. This means that you can work with your third-party contracts, but still include all the automation magic, such as

  • approval workflow
  • automated archiving (all contracts to be stored in a specific folder. Read more)
  • metadata for those uploaded files
  • and of course, all the next steps - such as sending a contract for review, negotiations, and finally, signing.
