Benefits of Integrating CloudSign and Garoon

‍In recent years, many companies have started adopting electronic contracts instead of paper for concluding agreements.
It's very convenient as there's no need for mailing or face-to-face meetings!
But have you ever experienced delays in getting internal approvals for contracts, making it difficult to create them smoothly?
This time, we aim to streamline the electronic contract issuance process by integrating Garoon, which excels in internal information sharing and communication, with the electronic contract service CloudSign!

So, what are the specific benefits of integrating these two applications?

Benefit 1: Automation of Contract Approvals

One major benefit is the automation of the contract approval flow.
You can automatically create documents in CloudSign based on approved workflows.
This reduces waiting time for approvals and speeds up the contract process.
Moreover, since approvals that were previously requested individually are now automated, there are no more missed notifications or delays due to human error, improving the accuracy of operations.

Benefit 2: Centralized Information Management

Contract-related information can be centrally managed on Garoon, allowing you to quickly search and track necessary information.
This eliminates the hassle of switching between multiple applications, improving the speed and accuracy of overall operations.
It also prevents omissions and duplication when modifying information.

Benefit 3: Smooth Information Sharing Among Teams

By integrating with Garoon's schedule management and project management functions, communication and collaboration among teams become smoother.
Since information is consolidated, anyone can easily access it, allowing for improved productivity without spending time on information sharing.‍

What is Yoom?

‍The integration of applications is done using Yoom, which allows for no-code app integration.
While typical app integrations may require programming knowledge, Yoom offers a service that enables app integration without specialized knowledge!
Additionally, Yoom has a wealth of existing templates!
Even beginners can easily start by copying these templates to create flows!

How to Create a CloudSign and Garoon Integration Flow

This time, we will first create a flow where [a document is created when a workflow is approved in Garoon and sent via CloudSign].
Based on the information of the workflow approved in Garoon, a document is created and sent via CloudSign.
Not only does it automate the cumbersome approval flow, but everything from document creation to electronic contract issuance is automated. By not relying on manual work, you can prevent document duplication and missing items.

With Yoom, you don't need to build from scratch if you copy a template, making it easy to create a flow.
Start by copying a template and then begin the integration settings.

Preparation

‍Once you can log in to your Yoom account, the first step is to register the app you will use.
1. Click on "Register My App" and select "Create New".
2. Select the app you want to register (in this case, CloudSign and Garoon) and log in with the account you will use.


Once you have registered CloudSign, click "Create New" again to register Garoon.
For more information on CloudSign app integration, please refer to this.
How to Register My App for CloudSign | Yoom Help Center (intercom.help)
3. Once registered, an icon will appear in My Apps.
Please check if the icons for CloudSign and Garoon are displayed.

4. A template needs to be prepared in advance.
Please refer to this for creating a template.

Create a document and send it via CloudSign when a workflow is approved in Garoon

Let's get started with the detailed steps to create the flow!

1. Open the copied template from My Projects.
2. Click "Edit" in the top right corner.
The title is filled in to make the content of the flow easy to understand.

5. Select the trigger interval and click "Test".
The subdomain name is the part of the Garoon URL "https://●●●●●●●.cybozu.com/" where ●●●●●●● is the subdomain.
The application form ID is the "fid=⚫️⚫️" part of the URL of the relevant application form. For example, if it is "fid=3", the application form ID is 3.
If the test is successful, click "Save".


6. Return to the flow and click the icon "Issue Document: Create Document".


7. Link the pre-created template, specify the storage location for the issued document, and click "Next".


8. Click "Get Replacement Information".
The strings enclosed in {} in the template document will be automatically retrieved as "strings to be replaced".
For each replacement target, enter the "string after replacement". For list settings, set the string after replacement in list format (comma-separated).
If you update the document content, click the "Retrieve Replacement Conditions" button.
Click "Test", and if the test is successful, click "Save".


9. Return to the flow and click the icon "Register Document: Integrate with App".

10. Select the action "Create Document" and click "Next".


11. Enter the necessary information.
Click "Test", and if the test is successful, click "Save".


12. Return to the flow and click the icon "Add Recipient: Integrate with App".


13. Select the action "Add Recipient" and click "Next".


14. Select the previously linked output information and enter the fields.
Once entered, click "Test", and if the test is successful, click "Save".


15. Return to the flow and click the icon "Attach File to Document: Integrate with App".


16. Select the action "Attach File to Document" and click "Next".


17. Select and enter the output information.
Keep the file attachment method as "Use Output" and "Issued Document", and click "Test".
If the test is successful, click "Save".


18. Return to the flow and click the icon "Send Document: Integrate with App".


19. Select the action "Send Document/Remind" and click "Next".


20. Select and enter the output information, and click "Test".
If the test is successful, click "Save".

This completes the flow of [Create a document and send it via CloudSign when a workflow is approved in Garoon]. Well done!

21. Finally, switch the trigger to "ON" to activate it.

Advanced Integration Flow of CloudSign and LINE WORKS

In addition to the flows introduced so far, Yoom has many apps that can be integrated, allowing you to create flows by combining various apps according to your business needs!
For example, you can create a complex flow such as 【When a contract is concluded with CloudSign, read the content with AI operation, update the status in kintone, and notify Slack】.

When a new contract is signed with CloudSign, you can use AI operations to read the contract details, automatically update the relevant status in kintone, and notify the completed tasks on Slack.
You can automatically transfer and accumulate information without accessing CloudSign or database tools like kintone.
The content of contract reading and Slack notifications can be changed, so please customize it according to your workflow!
Refer to the templates and try integrating with various apps that suit your business!

※ The operations between "branching" are available only in the Mini Plan, Team Plan, and Success Plan.
Please note that in the Free Plan, the operations and data connections set in the flow bot will result in errors.
※ Paid plans such as the Team Plan and Success Plan offer a 2-week free trial.
During the free trial, you can use apps that are subject to restrictions.

Summary

By integrating CloudSign and Garoon, the automation of contract notifications and centralized information management have made information sharing within the company smoother!
The automation of approval flows can also significantly reduce the time spent on tasks.
Moreover, automating tasks leads to a reduction in human errors such as duplication and omissions, thereby improving the accuracy of operations!
If you use the templates introduced in the advanced section, you can easily achieve more advanced automation flows, promoting efficiency in various tasks.
With Yoom, you can easily start app integration without technical concerns, using no-code solutions.

Please take this opportunity to challenge yourself with various app integrations!

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.
