FAQ

How this task behaves.

    Can the AI edit the contract text itself?

    No. The AI can only launch workflows using your existing templates. You must edit the content within Ironclad.

  • 02

    Does the AI sign the contracts?

    No. The AI initiates the workflow, but the actual signing process remains with the human users in Ironclad.

  • 03

    Can I use any template in Ironclad?

    Yes, as long as the template exists in your Ironclad account, the AI can find and use it.

  • 04

    What happens if the AI picks the wrong template?

    You can simply tell the AI to stop or ask it to launch a different one using the correct template name.

  • 05

    Will the AI delete any existing workflows?

    No. This Connector only has the ability to list templates and launch new workflows. It cannot delete anything.
