Avokaado's API integration offers a robust solution for businesses aiming to streamline their HR, B2B, and compliance operations, client onboarding, and document workflows. Integrating Avokaado with existing internal information systems like SAP and popular SaaS platforms like Teamtailor, BambooHR, HiBob, Pipedrive, HubSpot, and Salesforce provides a seamless experience, improving client conversion rates, operational efficiency, and compliance. Let’s explore how you can take advantage of Avokaado’s API flow to automate contract generation and manage documents with real-time data.

How Customers Use Avokaado’s API Flow

Avokaado's customers are getting benefits of the open API document format aDoc, integrating their operations into a unified end-to-end workflow and data flow. Here are some examples of how businesses are using Avokaado's API flow:

Recruitment Automation with Teamtailor and BambooHR/HiBob

Clients use the API to sync candidate data from Teamtailor. Once a candidate is hired, their details are automatically mapped into employment contracts within Avokaado, ensuring a smooth, error-free, and quick contract generation process. Once the contract is signed, the data is pushed back to Teamtailor and HRIS systems like BambooHR and HiBob, where the employee profile is automatically generated. Avokaado simultaneously creates an employee registry with live data from all integrated systems, ensuring consistency across platforms.

Sales Contract Generation with Pipedrive

Sales teams integrate Pipedrive with Avokaado to automate the generation of sales contracts. Customer data collected during the sales process is used to auto-generate contracts for prospects, eliminating manual data entry. Avokaado generates a comprehensive vendors, partners, and buyers data registry connected to all relevant contracts and documents. Any update posted to the data registry is automatically connected to the parties and documents hub, providing full transparency for KYC, compliance, and business development purposes.

Client Onboarding with Salesforce

Many businesses sync Salesforce CRM with Avokaado to streamline client onboarding. Contracts and forms are automatically populated with client details collected in Salesforce, minimizing errors and enhancing the client experience. Avokaado also serves as a contract repository with a data registry for quick access and insights. Avokaado's integrations with global signing solutions like SignNow and Signicat and approval workflows complement Salesforce’s functionality, enabling end-to-end workflows that offer full transparency and compliance with both internal policies and external regulations. This setup allows in-house legal teams to efficiently scale sales operations without having to review every document.

By integrating Avokaado's API into internal systems and other B2B platforms, businesses can create a seamless, automated workflow for contracts and documents, leveraging data that already exists within their systems for greater efficiency, transparency, and compliance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Automating Contract Generation and Workflow Through API

Here’s a simple guide to help you set up your API flow with Avokaado and unlock automated document creation and management:

Step 1: Define the Data You Want to be Pushed and Pulled Over API

The first step is to identify the data fields you want to communicate between Avokaado and your internal systems (e.g., CRM, HRIS). This could be customer information, employee data, or any other relevant data points such as party data, roles, dates, and terms.

  • Example: For an employment contract, you would pull employee details (name, position, start date, salary) from an HR system like BambooHR. Most of our customers use approx 25 smart data fields to communicate over systems regarding employment contracts.

Step 2: Create Document Type and Data Fields

Once the data is defined, create a document type within Avokaado. For each document type, you can map the data fields you plan to use in the contract generation process.

  • Example: Create an "Employment Contract" document type with relevant fields like employee name, job title, start date, and salary.

Step 3: Create the Template

Now that the document type is defined, create the contract template within Avokaado and use created smart fields within the template. 

  • Example: Create a template that automatically pulls data from your HR system for employment contracts, offers, or termination letters.

Step 4: Connect the API

Integrate Avokaado’s API with your internal system, such as Pipedrive, Salesforce, Teamtailor, BambooHR or others easily from your integration panel mapping the connected fields with each other. This will allow you to pull data directly from these platforms into Avokaado, generating contracts automatically.

  • Example: Connect Avokaado to your CRM (Pipedrive/Salesforce) so that when a sales deal closes, the client data is immediately used to generate the contract.

Step 5: Go Live – Beautiful Data Registry, Compliance on Autopilot and Automated Contract Workflow

Once connected, your contracts will now be generated with real-time data, automatically populating fields and creating contracts without manual intervention. Avokaado's platform will organize the data in a beautiful data registry, ensuring that all parties, contracts, and data are managed seamlessly.

  • Example: The HR team can instantly generate employment contracts and other HR documents with real-time data updates from BambooHR or Teamtailor, ensuring that all information is accurate and up-to-date.
