AI-powered contract clause extraction in Salesforce
CloudFiles Document AI reads your contracts, captures critical details, and updates them in Salesforce — so you never miss renewals, penalties, or obligations again!
Every minute you search for a clause, someone else closes a deal...
Signed contracts often sit as PDFs on Opportunities or Accounts, with critical clauses buried months later. Manual review or spreadsheets leads to delays, errors, and lost revenue.

Your Automation, One Flow Away...
With CloudFiles Document AI + Salesforce Flow, every contract upload becomes a trigger for instant intelligence & automation.
See how it works — step by step
Step 1. Upload & Trigger AI
Start by uploading your signed contract to Salesforce. You can attach it to an Opportunity, Account, or Case, or import it from integrated storage like SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, or Amazon S3.
- Supported file types include PDF, Word, JPG, TIFF, and scanned images.
- Automatic processing triggers as soon as the file is uploaded.
- Optional upload methods: drag-and-drop in Salesforce, Email-to-Case, or Apex-based integrations.
Step 2. Extract Critical Clauses
Once uploaded, CloudFiles AI scans your contract and extracts key clauses automatically. You’ll get structured data ready for Salesforce without manual entry.
- Use the Document Mapper to define which fields capture renewal dates, termination clauses, obligations, penalties, SLAs, and more.
- Ask questions in natural language, e.g., “What is the renewal term?” or “List all liability clauses”.
- Extracted outputs can be formatted as text, bullet summaries, tables, or JSON for downstream automation or reporting.
- Based on your requirements, configure the Salesforce Flow once, and your clause extraction runs automatically every time.
Step 3. Sync & Automate in Salesforce
CloudFiles maps the extracted clause data into Salesforce fields, making it instantly available for automations, reports, and approvals.
- Trigger Flows, approval processes, and alerts based on extracted data.
- Build dashboards and reports for contract value, renewal pipeline, and compliance tracking.
- Post-processing actions: create tasks, update Opportunity stages, or notify team members automatically.
