What it does

Acts as a pre-signature checkpoint. When your CLM or e-signature tool fires a webhook that a contract is ready to send, this workflow diffs the document's clauses against approved templates. If nothing material deviates, it signals approved and the document proceeds. If a clause was changed, it blocks the send and posts an approval request to Slack with the flagged language, requiring a human decision before signing continues.

When to use it

Use it when an unreviewed deviation reaching signature is a real compliance risk and you want a hard gate rather than an after-the-fact alert. Best for regulated or high-value contracting where every off-template clause must be consciously approved.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook from your signing system triggers the run with the contract reference.
  2. 2The document is read from Drive and split into clauses.
  3. 3An OpenAI step diffs each clause against the approved template and flags material deviations.
  4. 4A logic branch decides: no deviations means return an approved signal to the caller; deviations mean hold and request review.
  5. 5Held contracts post an approval request with flagged clauses to Slack for explicit legal sign-off before signing resumes.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect Google DriveDocs, sheets, slides, files.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
