Experience
Automate Contract Generation and E-signing
I automated the process of contract generation and e-signing. The Nintex Drawloop AppExchange product was used for contract generation, and for the e-signing of contracts, DocuSign, was used. I set up the managed packages and linked them to our contract object in Salesforce. I built automations in Salesforce to trigger contract autogeneration and send documents requesting signatures. I developed the code by implementing complex Drawloop interfaces to fetch data from various objects (including unrelated) and send it into contract templates documents.
This resulted in a savings of several hundred hours put in by the contract management team.
