How to integrate Airtable with freee Sign to send contracts from Airtable via freee Sign

r.suzuki

In the business field, exchanging contracts is a daily routine, but it often takes time and effort to create and send them.
Manual processes, in particular, carry the risk of errors.
To solve such issues, why not integrate various applications to make your operations more efficient?
This time, we will introduce how to launch freee Sign from Airtable and send contracts using Airtable and freee Sign.
This automation can reduce workload and improve operational efficiency.
Furthermore, this blog will introduce a method that can be easily set up without programming knowledge and explain the specific benefits in business.

Please refer to this blog and challenge yourself to automate your operations!

Benefits of Integrating Airtable and freee Sign

1. Improved Operational Efficiency

By integrating Airtable and freee Sign, manual contract creation and sending tasks become unnecessary.
Also, since you can work without switching between the two apps, the entire contract process becomes smoother, and you can expect a reduction in working time.
This allows staff to secure time to focus on other important tasks, leading to an overall improvement in operational efficiency.
For example, in the sales department, contract creation and sending tasks that were previously done manually can be automated by integrating Airtable and freee Sign.
Sales representatives can save time on data entry and contract sending, potentially shortening contract processing time.
As a result, it leads to securing time for customer interaction, which may also improve customer satisfaction.

2. Reduction of Human Errors

In the manual contract sending process, there is a risk of entry errors or omissions, but automation allows for accurate and consistent document creation and sending, potentially reducing the time spent on correction tasks.
For example, in the legal department, automation reduces the risk of entry errors or omissions in contracts, reducing the workload of corrections and resending.
Moreover, reducing human errors can lead to the dissemination of accurate information, which may indirectly contribute to building trust with customers.

Now, we would like to use a tool called Yoom to integrate Airtable and freee Sign.

The person who wrote this article
r.suzuki
I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.
