Do you have any of the following concerns about contract management?

  • Frequent checks on contract status prevent you from focusing on other tasks
  • Worry about delayed transactions because you didn't notice the contract was completed
  • Want to give the next step instructions immediately after completion, but manual communication is cumbersome
  • Sales representatives are often out or traveling, making it difficult to share contract status verbally

Even if you save time on printing and mailing documents by introducing an electronic contract service, if it takes time to confirm the completion of documents, contract management and sales activities will not proceed smoothly. As a solution to this issue, there is a method to set up automatic notifications upon contract completion.

This article introduces how to automatically send emails with Gmail when a contract is completed with DocuSign. This automation allows you to notify stakeholders in real-time about contract completion, eliminating the need for manual checks and email communication. Let's enable quick initiation of subsequent tasks in contract management and sales activities.

Benefits of Integrating DocuSign and Gmail

Integrating DocuSign and Gmail offers the following benefits for contract management and sales activities.

Benefit 1: Improved Operational Efficiency

Through integration, you can automatically detect contract completion and notify via email. This eliminates the need for manual checks of contract status and the creation of notification texts. Even if multiple contracts are required for one customer or if contract updates are frequent, this automation can reduce the workload. Moreover, by minimizing the risks of overlooking completed contracts, delayed communication, or forgotten notifications, which are common in manual processes, you can also expect improvements in operational quality.

Benefit 2: Faster Information Sharing

By reducing the time lag from contract completion to notification through automation, swift information sharing among stakeholders becomes possible. Based on this information sharing, tasks such as saving certificates and contract documents, preparing deliveries, and issuing invoices can be initiated. By enabling legal and sales personnel to smoothly proceed with post-contract tasks, it leads to faster contract management and shorter lead times until the start of transactions. Quick follow-up after contract completion can provide reassurance to customers, leading to the building of good trust relationships and improved customer satisfaction.

Other Automation Examples Using DocuSign and Gmail

There are many other examples of automation using DocuSign and Gmail in Yoom, so here are a few introductions.

1. This is a flow where you retrieve information from DocuSign on a specified schedule and send an email via Gmail if certain conditions are met. For example, it is a template that can be used to notify only on the first day of each month if an important project that is taking time to progress has not been completed. With automatic notifications, you can regularly check the status of agreements.

2. This is a flow to store DocuSign certificates in Google Drive. Certificates of signed documents are automatically saved in a specific folder in Google Drive. This eliminates the need for manual downloading or uploading of certificates when contracts are signed, which is expected to improve contract management efficiency.

3. This is a flow to update the deal stage in HubSpot when a DocuSign envelope is completed. By automatically updating the SFA deal information upon contract completion, you can track the progress of sales activities in real-time. If sales representatives can immediately recognize the completion of contracts and respond quickly to customers, it is expected to improve customer satisfaction.

Summary

By integrating DocuSign with Gmail, you can automate notifications when a contract is finalized. This eliminates the need to spend time checking the status of agreements or making contact, allowing personnel to focus on other tasks and quickly begin subsequent processes after notification. Preventing delays or omissions in communication and ensuring smooth follow-ups can help build trust with clients and improve customer satisfaction. With Yoom, you can easily set up these integrations. Give it a try.

Until now, I have experienced office work at specialized trading companies and in the EC industry. The work I was in charge of covered a wide range of tasks, such as sales office work, accounting, general affairs, human resources, and legal affairs. We worked to improve the efficiency of individual tasks, but I think the work could proceed more conveniently by using various support tools and Yoom... I would be happy if I could send out an introduction article on Yoom that makes use of my work experience and help everyone proceed smoothly with their work.
