Overview
Teams across your business rely on insight into contract data. Departments like sales, finance, and procurement have access to the platforms that manage their sales opportunities, budgets, and vendor agreements. Oftentimes, these teams do not have access to LinkSquares. As such, they lack visibility into the status and details of relevant contracts which can lead to friction across your organization.
The LinkSquares APIs enable you to integrate your existing tools with LinkSquares to give business teams easy access to contract data, eliminating back-and-forth with legal. The LinkSquares APIs can be used to integrate virtually any system with LinkSquares. This article provides high-level use cases for leveraging the LinkSquares APIs to integrate with Netsuite, Oracle, Jira, and Coupa.
Process
Netsuite
Integrate Netsuite with LinkSquares to allow legal and finance to work in parallel. Syncing contract data with Netsuite allows your finance team to efficiently secure the budget for an in-flight contract.
Upon creating a purchase order in NetSuite, the LinkSquares Finalize API can initiate a contract draft in LinkSquares Finalize. While legal works on redlines, finance can work on securing and approving the budget for the purchase order. Once the budget is approved, legal is able to send the contract out for signature. The fully executed agreement can be ingested into LinkSquares Analyze for storage and reporting.
Within Analyze, the contract will undergo Smart Value analysis, where over 100 key pieces of information are extracted by LinkSquares AI. These Smart Values and any other contract terms tracked within Analyze are associated back to the NetSuite purchase order via the LinkSquares Analyze API, providing the most up-to-date information to finance in a familiar platform.
Oracle
Connect LinkSquares to Oracle to allow pertinent contract data to flow seamlessly between legal and enterprise systems. Utilize the Analyze API to ensure real-time synchronization of contract data between LinkSquares and Oracle databases.
With this information synced, your team can check contract terms from Analyze against compliance requirements stored in Oracle. Integrating these systems allows the legal team to optimize contract management processes, ensure data consistency, and improve efficiency in the event of compliance audits.
Jira
Sync your organization’s task management and contracting workflows to unite your IT and legal teams by integrating LinkSquares and Jira. Using the Finalize API, your legal team’s contract drafting workflow can be triggered by updating the status of a Jira ticket. Status updates and details from Finalize can be communicated via the Finalize API back to Jira, so pertinent information regarding contract progression is available to your IT team.
After redlining is complete, the agreement can be executed via LinkSquares Sign and ingested into Analyze. Using the Analyze API, Smart Values extracted by LinkSquares AI and any other tracked contract terms are ingested into Jira and are readily accessible to your IT team for ongoing reference.
Coupa
Automate information sharing between your legal and procurement teams by integrating LinkSquares and Coupa. Status updates on purchase orders within Coupa can be communicated to Finalize via the Finalize API and trigger the creation of a contract draft, allowing your legal team to get started on contracts as soon as possible.
As the contract moves through the redlining process, status updates from Finalize can be communicated to the associated purchase order via the Finalize API, giving your procurement team insight into the progress of the contract.
After redlining, the agreement can be executed via Sign and ingested into Analyze. Smart Values extracted by LinkSquares AI and any other tracked contract terms are ingested into the associated purchase order via the Analyze API and are readily available for your procurement team to reference.
