After reviewing the approval documents and application forms, creating a new contract and sending it to the other party involves many steps and can waste the time of the person in charge. By integrating Yoom's collaborative flow with CloudSign, you can seamlessly handle everything from contract creation to sending with just the approval of the application content. This helps prevent mistakes in contract procedures and speeds up operations. This article explains how to set up an automated flow that sends a contract via CloudSign when an application is approved in the collaborative flow, as well as the benefits of implementing it.
Recommended for:
- Those using collaborative flow and CloudSign
- Administrative staff who want to prevent omissions or input errors in contract document sending
- Sales staff who want to shorten the time spent on tasks after approval
- Those who want to improve management accuracy
- DX promotion staff considering the automation of contract administration
Benefits and examples of integrating collaborative flow and CloudSign:
1. Prevention of input errors and sending omissions
By incorporating an automated flow, the application content on the collaborative flow side is directly reflected in the contract using CloudSign. This eliminates concerns about manual input errors or sending omissions, allowing smooth contract procedures. For example, after a sales representative submits a document and the administrative staff approves it, a contract is automatically created and sent based on the application content, preventing risks such as incorrect entries in important documents. Additionally, documents are created based on accurate information, eliminating the need for double-checking.
2. Reduction of manual work
By using the approval in the collaborative flow as a trigger to automatically create and send contracts via CloudSign, the workload on the person in charge can be reduced. Previously, accounting staff had to manually perform several processes, such as verifying the application content and entering data into a new contract, and selecting the appropriate recipient. By introducing this flow, the entire process from contract creation to sending is automated with just the approval on the collaborative flow side, reducing the burden of daily tasks on the person in charge.
3. Shortening of work time
With the introduction of an automated flow, you can centrally manage everything from application approval to contract conclusion, making it easier for sales staff to understand which contracts are progressing. Additionally, by making it easier to manage contract status, the risk of business delays or contract omissions is reduced. For example, when a new employee joins, the department head sends an application related to the joining to the HR department, and once the HR staff approves it, a contract is automatically created and sent to the relevant employee. This consistent process allows for quick completion of onboarding procedures.
Now, let's create a flow bot using the "Send a contract via CloudSign when an application is approved in the collaborative flow" template.
[About Yoom]
How to send a contract via CloudSign when an application is approved in the collaborative flow:
After approving an application in the collaborative flow, receive the information via the collaborative flow API, and automatically create a contract using the Google Docs API based on that content. Then, automatically send the contract via the CloudSign API. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but with the no-code tool Yoom, it can be easily achieved without programming knowledge.
The work until the flow is completed proceeds as follows:
- Integrate collaborative flow, Google Docs, and CloudSign with My Apps
- Copy the template
- Set the trigger in the collaborative flow and configure Google Docs, followed by setting each operation in CloudSign
- Turn on the trigger

Until now, as customer support, we have made efforts to resolve users' questions and concerns.
I was moved to learn that by using Yoom, tasks that are becoming increasingly complicated on a daily basis will progress quickly!
From now on, we will continue to distribute content with easy-to-understand content so that people who aim to improve work efficiency can use the service smoothly.
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.
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.
