Grist + pdfFiller + Slack: When a new contract draft is created or updated in Grist, it is automatically sent to pdfFiller to create a distributable form and generate a shareable link. The team is then notified in Slack with the link to the document for signature.
pdfFiller + Grist + Google Sheets: After a document is filled in pdfFiller, the data from the filled form is automatically saved as a new record in Grist. A new row is also added to a Google Sheet to log the document information for record-keeping purposes.
