Configure approval workflows

  • Approval before sending to the counterparty

  • Approval before signature

For approval before sending, you can choose whether it applies only to the first send or to every send.

The contract cannot move forward unless these rules are met.


Create an approval workflow

Click Add a workflow and choose:

  • Create a workflow from scratch

  • Or from an existing workflow


Add approvers

  • Only Administrator or Manager users can be approvers.

  • You can assign a specific user, or the contract supervisor.


Define the approval order

  • At the same time: all approvers must approve

  • First one to approve: validation as soon as the first approval is given

  • One after another: defined order, one after another


Add approval conditions

You can make an approver or a block conditional:

  • Click … > Make conditional

  • Select or create a condition

    • Examples: contract value above €X, duration longer than X months.

Good to know

A conditional approver is not a participant by default. They become a participant only if the condition is met and their approval is required.


This makes it possible to build dynamic approval workflows tailored to the contract’s context.


Advanced approval workflows

Scale and Enterprise plans only

  • Add multiple approval blocks

  • Each block has its own approvers and rules

  • Blocks can be triggered sequentially or in parallel


Edit or delete a workflow

  • Click next to an approver or a block to remove it.

Changes apply to all projects except those already in the approval process.


Apply a negotiation playbook

  • Define expected contractual positions

  • Identify acceptable, non-acceptable, or missing clauses

  • Deviations are automatically flagged
