Contracts you send for e-signature

Send a contract for e-signature from Workspace369: upload a PDF or start from a template, place signature fields, add your signers and send it. Signers verify by email code, and every contract keeps a History timeline and an evidence file.

The Contracts page was rebuilt with a status filter, a Templates view for reusable agreements, a builder where you set the signing order and add teammates as signers, and countersigning and reminders.

  • Start from a PDF or a reusable template
  • Audit trail and evidence file for every contract
  • Countersigning and reminders
Send a contract for signature, see it listed as Waiting, and open it to follow each signer. Example data.

Once a proposal is accepted, or a deposit or payment comes in, its items and prices lock, and a banner explains why. To change it, create a numbered change order that shows exactly what changed.

AI AutoPilot Today, Client Health and watches on money, projects and tasks

AI AutoPilot opens on Today, a ranked list of what needs you, like an invoice to chase or a client to check in with. Client Health flags clients who need attention with the reason shown, and Money Watch and Project Watch point out unpaid invoices and projects that need a look.

AutoPilot only suggests: it drafts reminders and follow-ups for you to review.

  • A Today feed that ranks what to do next
  • Client Health with a Draft follow-up you can edit
AI AutoPilot Today in Lanes view: filters for Money Watch, Project Watch, Task Assist and more, then Money, Clients, Tasks and Inbox lanes with items such as Chase invoice INV-1042 for Parker Group, 12 days past due.

Workflows rebuilt with a table, templates, test runs and AI drafting

Workflows open on a table of everything you have built, with filters and bulk actions. Start from a template or describe what you want and let AI draft it, and test it before it goes live.
