Benefits and Examples of Integrating Google Forms and CloudSign
Benefit 1: Automate Manual Work
By integrating Google Forms and CloudSign, you can automate the flow from contract creation to sending. This can potentially reduce the time and effort spent on manual creation. For example, consider issuing contracts for fixed-term employees. Manually, you might find it cumbersome to create each time. By automating the contract creation flow, you can reduce the work time compared to manual work. As a result, you can allocate time to other important tasks, potentially improving work efficiency.
Benefit 2: Reduce Errors
When creating contracts manually, there might be creation errors or omissions. For example, consider a scenario where many new employees are joining. Manually, there are risks such as "forgot to create" or "name entry errors". If automated, you can prevent such human errors, potentially leading to improved work efficiency.
Benefit 3: Visualize Contract Status
You can check the contract creation process with CloudSign. This makes it easier to verify history, potentially improving the transparency of contract management. For example, consider a situation where there is an error in the contract content. If Google Forms and CloudSign are integrated, you can quickly grasp the situation, making it easier to identify causes and respond to issues. In any situation, you can smoothly proceed with operations, potentially improving team productivity.
Now, let's introduce how to use the no-code tool Yoom to "create contracts with information submitted via Google Forms and send them via CloudSign".

Other Automation Examples Using CloudSign
Yoom offers a variety of templates. This time, we will introduce three templates that utilize CloudSign.
1. A template that updates information in Google Sheets once a contract is completed with CloudSign.
You can automatically transfer information from CloudSign to Google Sheets. This reduces the burden of administrative tasks, potentially improving work efficiency. Additionally, it seems possible to prevent human errors that often occur manually.
2. This is a template for creating a document in CloudSign and sending an email when the status is updated in kintone.
Based on the status change in kintone, you can automatically create and send contracts using CloudSign. Manually, it may take time to create, and there might be errors or omissions. By utilizing this template, you can automate the creation process and reduce human errors.
3. This is a template for notifying Slack when the document signing is completed with CloudSign.
By notifying your regularly used Slack, you are less likely to miss information about contract signings. Additionally, you can check the status of the contract signing without opening CloudSign, saving you effort. This will shorten the time spent on confirmation tasks and lead to increased productivity in your work.
Summary
By integrating Google Forms with CloudSign, you can automate contract creation, reducing input tasks and minimizing human errors. Additionally, it becomes easier to check contract status, allowing for smoother business operations. Moreover, by using Yoom, you can integrate apps and create flow bots without the need for programming. Utilizing templates allows for easier setup, making it accessible even for beginners. Why not take this opportunity to integrate Google Forms with CloudSign and automate your contract creation flow?

After being in charge of sales and CA at a human resources company for about 5 years, I have been involved in jobs such as creating job advertisements and scouting sentences at companies that hire engineers.
I'm fascinated by Yoom's revolutionary service of “automating office work.”
I would like to write so that I can send out information that can be useful to everyone, even a little bit.
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.
