Automate Contracts with Zapier

Connect GitLaw with 7,000+ apps through Zapier. Automate your contract workflows without writing code — trigger GitLaw to draft, review, or send documents based on events in your existing tools.

Need custom integrations? Use the GitLaw Public API to build anything.

What Can I Automate?

Any workflow that involves a legal document. GitLaw can automatically draft, review, or send contracts based on events happening in your CRM, calendar, Slack, spreadsheets, and more.

Example Automations

Trigger (in another app) Action (in GitLaw)
Deal marked "Won" in CRM Generate contract from template
Calendar event created ("Intro call") Send NDA to participant
Slack message: "Create contract" Draft agreement and share link
Airtable row added ("New freelancer") Create freelancer contract
Photography session booked Generate photography services contract
New hire added to HRIS Send employment agreement for signature

Getting Started

Step 1: Connect GitLaw to Zapier

  1. Log in to your Zapier account
  2. Search for "GitLaw" in the app directory
  3. Click "Connect" and authenticate with your GitLaw account
  4. Your connection is ready

Step 2: Create Your First Zap

A "Zap" connects a trigger (something that happens) with an action (what GitLaw does).

Example: CRM Deal Won → Contract Creation

  1. Choose your trigger app (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive)
  2. Select trigger event: "Deal Stage Changed" or "Deal Won"
  3. Choose GitLaw as your action app
  4. Select action: "Create Contract"
  5. Map fields: Connect deal data (company name, contact email, deal value) to contract fields
  6. Test and activate your Zap

Step 3: Handle the Response

GitLaw processes contracts asynchronously. When processing completes, GitLaw can trigger a follow-up action — like sending the contract via email or posting to Slack.

Popular Zap Recipes

CRM → Contract Creation

When a deal is marked "Won," GitLaw automatically drafts the client agreement.

  • Trigger: HubSpot/Salesforce deal stage changes to "Contracting"
  • Action: GitLaw creates contract with deal details
  • Follow-up: Send contract link via email or Slack

Calendar → NDA Send

When an intro meeting is booked, GitLaw drafts and sends a pre-filled NDA.

  • Trigger: Google Calendar event created with "Intro" in title
  • Action: GitLaw generates NDA with attendee details
  • Follow-up: Email NDA to meeting participant

Slack → On-Demand Contract

Request contracts directly from Slack.

  • Trigger: Slack message in #contracts channel
  • Action: GitLaw drafts the requested agreement
  • Follow-up: Post contract link back to Slack

Photography Session → Services Contract

When a photography session is booked, GitLaw generates a services contract.

  • Trigger: Calendly booking for "Photography Session"
  • Action: GitLaw creates photography services contract
  • Follow-up: Send via eSign for signature

New Hire → Employment Agreement

When someone joins your team, GitLaw sends the paperwork.

  • Trigger: New employee added in BambooHR/Gusto

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding experience?

No. Zapier uses simple drag-and-drop setup. Just pick a trigger, pick an action, map your fields, and you're done.

What GitLaw plan do I need?

All users can use Zapier. AI actions consume your standard GitLaw credits.

How secure is this?

Zapier connects through OAuth 2.0 — the same secure authentication used by banks and enterprise apps. You control exactly what Zapier can access.

What if I need a custom integration?

Use the GitLaw Public API to build integrations with any platform — Make, n8n, Pipedream, or your own systems.

How does this differ from the Email Assistant?

  • Email Assistant: Natural language commands via email ("create NDA with Acme")
  • Zapier: Event-driven automation (CRM updates, calendar bookings, Slack messages)

They complement each other — use Email Assistant for ad-hoc requests and Zapier for automated workflows.

Tips for Success

  1. Start simple — Begin with one Zap before building complex workflows
  2. Test thoroughly — Use Zapier's test feature to verify each step
  3. Be specific — Clear instructions to GitLaw produce better results
  4. Monitor usage — Automations can generate many requests; keep an eye on your credits
