Every minute you search for a clause, someone else closes a deal...

Signed contracts often sit as PDFs on Opportunities or Accounts, with critical clauses buried months later. Manual review or spreadsheets leads to delays, errors, and lost revenue.

We’ve Fixed It for You

Exactly how contract data extraction should work — simple, accurate, and reliable.

1. Upload & Relax

Upload contracts from your CRM or connected storage like SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, or S3. The AI engine automatically detects and processes each file.

2. Targeted Extraction

AI identifies and extracts key clauses — renewal dates, SLAs, governing law, liability caps, payment terms, and more — even from scanned or multilingual documents.

3. Instant CRM Sync

Structured data is mapped to CRM fields such as Renewal Date, Termination Clause, & Payment Terms - enabling Flows, approvals, reminders, and reports without manual entry.

Your Automation, One Flow Away...

With CloudFiles Document AI + Salesforce Flow, every contract upload becomes a trigger for instant intelligence & automation.

See How It Works — Step by Step

Learn how contract data moves from PDFs to Salesforce fields, powering Flows, reminders, and approvals automatically.

Step 1. Upload & Trigger AI

Start by uploading your signed contract to Salesforce. You can attach it to an Opportunity, Account, or Case, or import it from integrated storage like SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, or Amazon S3.

Supported file types include PDF, Word, JPG, TIFF, and scanned images.
Automatic processing triggers as soon as the file is uploaded.
Optional upload methods: drag-and-drop in Salesforce, Email-to-Case, or Apex-based integrations.

Step 2. Extract Critical Clauses

Once uploaded, CloudFiles AI scans your contract and extracts key clauses automatically. You’ll get structured data ready for Salesforce without manual entry.

Use the Document Mapper to define which fields capture renewal dates, termination clauses, obligations, penalties, SLAs, and more.
Ask questions in natural language, e.g., “What is the renewal term?” or “List all liability clauses”.
Extracted outputs can be formatted as text, bullet summaries, tables, or JSON for downstream automation or reporting.
Based on your requirements, configure the Salesforce Flow once, and your clause extraction runs automatically every time.

Step 3. Sync & Automate in Salesforce

CloudFiles maps the extracted clause data into Salesforce fields, making it instantly available for automations, reports, and approvals.

Trigger Flows, approval processes, and alerts based on extracted data.
Build dashboards and reports for contract value, renewal pipeline, and compliance tracking.
Post-processing actions: create tasks, update Opportunity stages, or notify team members automatically.
