The Problem We're Solving
Legal teams are resource-constrained and need to focus their attention where it matters most. Our customers wanted to:
- Target Legal reviews/approvals ONLY for specific scenarios (like high-value redlined contracts)
- Apply different approval requirements for "Upload for Review" vs. "Upload for Signature" workflows
- Set unique approval flows for different contract types (MSAs, NDAs, Orders) within the same TPP workflow.
Without these capabilities, teams had to over-review contracts, wasting valuable time.
What's New: Supercharged Conditional Approvals
We've added two powerful new condition types to Approvals V5:
Workflow Type Conditions
- Set specific approval requirements based on whether a contract follows an Upload for Review or Upload for Signature workflow
- Configure approval rules that require Legal sign-off ONLY when templates are both redlined AND exceed $50,000 in value
Contract Type Conditions (only for TPP workflows)
- Configure approvals based on specific contract types within a Third-Party Paper workflow
- Ex - Target approvals for just for MSAs (if there is a single TPP Workflow linked to all contract types)
How to Enable: Available now for all workflows using Approvals V5
