How to integrate CloudSign with SPIRAL to automatically update the SPIRAL database once a contract is completed

k.hieda

CloudSign is a tool that many companies use to efficiently complete contract procedures online. By integrating CloudSign with SPIRAL, post-contract data management becomes even more convenient. While traditional methods required programming, our no-code flowbot template allows for easy implementation. In this article, we will introduce specific setup methods and use cases, so please read to the end.

Recommended for those who benefit from this automation

  1. Business managers, back-office staff, corporate planning department
  2. Legal department, project managers
  3. Information security managers, CIOs (Chief Information Officers), customer management staff

What issues can be solved by integrating CloudSign and SPIRAL?

We introduce three issues that can be solved through automation: efficiency in contract operations, data accuracy, and enhanced security.

Issue 1: The hassle of manual double entry and updates

Once a contract is completed with CloudSign, the information is automatically updated in SPIRAL, eliminating the need for manual input or updates.
This automation removes the hassle caused by double entry, making the process from contract to data management seamless.
This automation is expected to improve efficiency and save time.

Issue 2: Input errors and data inaccuracies in contract information

Once a contract is completed with CloudSign, the information is automatically reflected in SPIRAL. This prevents manual data entry errors and human errors, ensuring that accurate data is always maintained.
Additionally, updates are made in real-time, allowing the entire team to work based on the latest contract information.

Issue 3: Security risks of contract data

By combining CloudSign's security measures with SPIRAL's data management, contract information is securely managed, reducing the risk of external leaks.
Since contract data is always protected, it creates a sense of security both inside and outside the company.

Step 5 "Search Records" to Integrate with App

Click the third process of the template. Search for the record to update from the contract information managed in SPIRAL.

(1/2) Select Integration Account and Action

The following are pre-configured, so no operation is required.

  • Title
  • Database App
  • Account Information Linked with SPIRAL
  • Execute Action

→ Click Next

(2/2) API Connection Settings

You will need the information of the database to update, so please open the SPIRAL management screen.

  • App ID
    • Click the edit field to open a dropdown showing candidates. Selecting one will quote the ID.
    • Alternatively, from the SPIRAL management screen, select "App Management" or "Application Management" from the top menu. A list of apps will be displayed, so select the target app. The app ID is displayed on the app details page or included at the end of the URL.
  • Database ID
    • Click the edit field to open a dropdown showing candidates. Selecting one will quote the ID.
    • Alternatively, access "Database Management" in the SPIRAL management screen. A list of databases linked to the app will be displayed, so select the target database. The database ID can be confirmed on the database details page or when the database is opened. This is often displayed at the end of the URL as well.
  • Field Identifier Name
    • Fields (items) managed within the database will be displayed. Check which field corresponds to the information you want to add from this list.
    • Each field is displayed with a "Identifier Name" or "Field Name," which is the name used in the database. This is the field identifier name.
      The field identifier name is treated as a unique ID within the SPIRAL database and is required when specifying which field to map data from Webflow to.
  • Search Value
    • This is pre-configured. The citation code for the customer name obtained in the second process is embedded.

→ Click Test → Success, the output can obtain record ID, etc.

Step 7 Turn the App Trigger [ON]

Once all processes are configured, a completion screen will pop up.

Turn the Trigger [ON] to complete the setup. The integration work is complete here! Integration was achieved in a short time without using programming. Here is the template used this time.

Utilization Scenarios Using This Automation

We have considered scenarios where the flowbot template introduced this time can be useful. We will introduce three problem-solving scenarios to show which positions can benefit from it.

1. Eliminate the hassle of manual double entry and updates for those in charge of contract management

When a contract is completed with CloudSign, the information is automatically updated in SPIRAL. In this flow, you can obtain outputs from CloudSign such as contract ID, contract title, sending date, and signing date. Since this information is automatically reflected in SPIRAL, manual data entry and updates are no longer necessary, and efficiency in management tasks can be expected. Additionally, since the attachment file ID is also automatically reflected, file verification and storage are centralized.

2. Prevent input errors and data inaccuracies in contract information, reducing the burden on administrators

Since contract information is accurately reflected from CloudSign to SPIRAL, input errors related to contract content and attached files can be prevented. For example, important data such as sending date and signing date are automatically reflected, allowing you to always manage the latest contract information. This ensures that the verification process of contracts and related documents proceeds smoothly, preventing legal troubles in advance.

3. Reduce security risks of contract data, providing peace of mind for security administrators

Contract data handled by CloudSign is protected by advanced security measures, ensuring safety even when automatically linked to SPIRAL. Contract IDs and attachment file information are properly managed, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and information leakage. This allows security administrators to operate contract data with peace of mind.

Further Utilization! Three Other Automations with CloudSign and SPIRAL

CloudSign and SPIRAL have other templates that can be automated.

1. Automatically send contracts from SPIRAL using CloudSign

Automate the creation and sending of contracts using CloudSign from SPIRAL. By creating contracts based on SPIRAL information, input errors can be prevented, and manual tasks can be omitted. This streamlines the progress of team operations.

2. Automatically Update Salesforce Information After CloudSign Completion

Once the contract is completed with CloudSign, the Salesforce data is automatically updated. By eliminating the need for data entry after the contract and sharing customer information in real-time, operational efficiency is improved.

3. Automatically Update SPIRAL Information After Completing freee Sign

Once the contract is completed with freee Sign, the information is automatically reflected in SPIRAL. This eliminates manual work and allows for speedy updates of contract information, facilitating smooth information sharing within the team.

Summary

By using the flowbot template introduced this time, you can automate contract work and data management without the need for programming.
It reduces the hassle of double entry after contracts, maintains data accuracy, and provides security assurance.
Your operations will proceed smoothly, errors will be reduced, and overall efficiency will improve dramatically.
