This template can be used to create Zaps that automates the process of creating Oneflow contracts upon uploading files to a connected Box account.
Once a Zap is created from this template, the following actions and triggers will be visible.
New file in Box Account
This Zap will start off when a new file is uploaded to the chosen Box account.
- The user is required to select a Box account of their choice.
- A list of already connected Box accounts in the logged in Zapier account will be available to choose from.
- If the required account is not available in the dropdown list, click on the “Connect a new account” button to add a new Box account.
- Once the required account is selected, the user has the option to choose a folder where to look for a file upload.
- The list of top-level folders available in the connected Box account at first, the user can navigate inside the folders by clicking the dropdown next to each folder name.
- Furthermore, Define how, if at all, to share files triggered by Zapier (this just makes a URL available for use in the action). The users have the options to select open/company or collaborator access.
Filter files in the Box Account
Next a filter action is added to the Zap, to continue execution only if the specified conditions are met.
- The condition here is to check if the uploaded file is a PDF.
Create Contract in Oneflow
Having picked the necessary files, now the Oneflow contract can be created.
- In this step, the Create Contract action will be executed with the chosen Oneflow account, whom the contract is created as.
- The user can connect a new Oneflow account in the instance where the Oneflow account of the contract creator is not listed in the dropdown.
- The name of the contract is set to be taken from the uploaded document, therefore, the name of the contract will be the name of the document followed by ‘contract’.
- The user has the liberty to select a workspace and a template of their choice to be used for contract creation.
Note:
- When a user wants to transfer any data from the uploaded document to the Oneflow contract that is going to be created, ‘data-fields’ can be used.
- To be able to use data fields in a contract, a template group with data fields needs to be created in Oneflow end.
- Read more on how to create a template group and add data fields. Once such a template is created, that can be used to transfer data from the file to the Oneflow contract easily.
Add an Attachment or Expanded PDF in Oneflow
The uploaded PDF file can be added as an expanded PDF to the created contract with this action.
- The user has to select the Oneflow account of the user.
- By default the expanded PDF is added to the contract as the contract creator him/herself, or it can be changed to another user from the Oneflow account.
- The file name is set to be the name of the uploaded file and the file will be the uploaded file itself.
- The contract identifier is set to be taken from the previous contract creation action’s output (Contract Id).
- The uploaded PDF file is selected as the File.
- The user can alternatively provide a publicly downloadable URL of the required file that does not exceed 20MB in size, however the selected template of the contract should have exactly one attachment/expanded PDF section for the user to be able to upload any files without a failure.
Add Participant in Oneflow
- The new participant will be added to the contract as the contract creator by default (the user has the ability to change the option).
- The contract id is set to be taken from the previous contract creation action
- The participant type is set to be added as an individual by default, but the user has the liberty to change the participant type as required.
- The other fields related to the participant, such as the participant name, and email are obtained from the details of the box account, from the previous action.
- The role of the participant in the contract is selected as signatory as default role.
Send Outbound Email
- This action is for sending the created contract via email.
- Users can add the necessary details to send the email successfully, can be provided while setting up the action or can be selected from the previous actions of the zap.
- The details such as the subject and email body are set by default.
- The specified email address(es) will receive an email with a link to the created Oneflow contract.
