Manage contract approvals and update HubSpot automatically

Routes big contracts through the right approvers, then files and audits them and updates your CRM automatically.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per one per approver in chain; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Big contracts get stuck bouncing between approvers over email, and nobody is sure who signed off last. When the deal finally closes, someone still has to manually update the CRM, save the signed file in the right folder, and tell finance it's done.

Who it fits

Sales operations or legal teams at companies that close large, multi-approver enterprise contracts.

How it works

  1. A new contract triggers an approval chain sized to the deal value
  2. Each approver signs off before the deal can move forward
  3. The system creates an audit record with timestamps of every approval
  4. Signed contracts and audit records are saved to Google Drive
  5. HubSpot is updated to Contract Signed and Slack notifies finance and legal
What you get

Contracts that never skip an approval step

You get every large contract routed through the right approvers with a complete audit trail.

What you get

A fully archived, audited contract with an updated CRM record and a Slack alert to finance and legal.

What you need

A HubSpot account, a Google Drive account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
