Benefits of Integrating CloudSign and kintone

How do you finalize contracts? In recent years, electronic contracts have become more common. While electronic contracts are very convenient, don't you sometimes wish that document storage and management could be a bit smarter? This time, we aim to streamline the management and storage of electronic contracts by integrating the electronic contract service CloudSign with kintone, which makes it easy to build forms and databases!

So, what are the actual benefits of integrating these two apps?

Benefit 1: Real-time Update of Contract Status
By integrating CloudSign and kintone, you can update contract statuses in real-time. Specifically, every time a contract is created, sent, or signed in CloudSign, that data can be automatically reflected in kintone. This way, you won't make mistakes like storing an old contract, and you can always check the latest contract status and take necessary actions immediately. Data updates and additions that were previously done manually can now be done automatically!

Benefit 2: Automation of Contract Notifications
Another benefit is the automation of contract notifications. The progress of contracts is automatically reflected in kintone, and notifications are sent to the relevant personnel. Automation eliminates notification omissions or delays due to human processes, making the entire contract process smoother. For example, even when handling multiple contracts simultaneously, such as during onboarding, you can easily grasp the situation without switching between apps each time.

Benefit 3: Smooth Data Management
Since data related to contracts is centrally managed in kintone, it prevents duplication or errors, allowing all stakeholders to access the latest information. You don't need to switch between various apps, significantly improving work efficiency. When a contract is updated, the information in kintone is also updated, eliminating the risk of incorrect or duplicate information due to human processes. If you want to search for data, you can easily find it, enabling instant and accurate decision-making based on precise data, which should also improve work accuracy.

What is Yoom?

The app integration is done using Yoom, which allows app integration without code. In general app integrations, programming knowledge may be required, but Yoom provides a service that allows apps to be integrated without code, even without specialized knowledge! Moreover, Yoom offers a wealth of existing templates! Even beginners can easily start by copying these templates to create flows!

How to Create a Flow for Integrating CloudSign and kintone

This time, we will first create a flow to [Register a Record in kintone When a Document is Finalized in CloudSign]. When a document is finalized in CloudSign, a record is automatically registered in kintone. You don't have to manually register finalized contracts, preventing duplication or omissions. Let's automate tedious tasks and improve work efficiency!

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

Preparation

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


Once you have registered CloudSign, click "Create New" again to register kintone.
Refer to this for CloudSign app integration.

3. Once registered, an icon will be displayed in My Apps.
Check if the icons for CloudSign and kintone are displayed.

Let's get started with the steps to create a specific 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.
Details can also be changed. Please modify it to make it easier to use.

3. Click "App Trigger: When Document Completion is Done".


4. Select the trigger action "When Document Completion is Done" and click "Next".


5. Select the trigger interval and click "Test". If the test is successful, click "Save".


6. Return to the flow and click the "Integrate with App: Register Record" icon.

7. Select the action "Record is Registered" and click "Next".


8. For the subdomain name, obtain and enter the part of the URL "https://●●●●●●●.cybozu.com/"●●●●●.
If the app ID is registered in My Apps, you can select it from the options.
Record information can be selected and entered from the output information of Notion, which was previously integrated.
Click "Test", and if the test is successful, click "Save".

This completes the flow of [Register a record in kintone when document signing is completed in CloudSign].

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

Advanced Integration Flow of CloudSign and kintone

In addition to the flows introduced so far, by using Yoom, you can create various flows tailored 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 operations, update the status in kintone, and notify Slack】.
When a new contract is concluded with CloudSign, you can use AI operations to read the contract content, automatically update the relevant status in kintone, and notify Slack of the completed business content.
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 business flow!
Yoom has many apps that can be integrated!
Please refer to the templates and try integrating apps that suit your business!


※ The operation between "branching" operations is an app that can only be used with the Mini Plan, Team Plan, and Success Plan.
Please note that in the case of the Free Plan, the operations and data connections of the flow bot you have set will result in an error.
※ Paid plans such as the Team Plan and Success Plan offer a 2-week free trial.
You can use restricted apps during the free trial period.

Summary

By integrating CloudSign and kintone, we have achieved automation of contract notifications and real-time updates of contract statuses, making data management much smoother!
With the automation of data updates, issues caused by human processes, such as duplicate or missing important contracts, are eliminated, and data accuracy is improved!
By using the templates introduced in the advanced section, you can achieve more advanced automation flows, allowing you to streamline various operations.
With Yoom, you can easily integrate apps without any coding, so you can start easily without technical concerns.
Please give it a try!

I also want to continue integrating to further improve the efficiency of various operations!!

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.

What is Yoom hyperautomation?
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated.
With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Don't Just Connect Apps—Automate Everything
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.

Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
