## What you can do with Contracts using CloudFiles

### Extract Renewal & Expiry Dates Automatically

Extract Renewal & Expiry Dates Automatically

Instantly extract contract start, end, and renewal dates from any uploaded PDF or Word file, with automatic processing triggered on upload.

- Extract key dates like renewal, termination, and notice periods. Multiple formats are supported.
- Auto-map them to fields on Opportunities, Accounts, or custom objects.
- Power renewal alerts, reminders, and dashboards in Salesforce.

### Identify Key Clauses & Obligations with AI

Identify Key Clauses & Obligations with AI

Scan contracts for business-critical clauses like SLAs, penalties, and indemnities, and store them as structured Salesforce data.

- Capture and tag clauses by category (renewal, liability, confidentiality, etc.).
- Flag risky terms or missing clauses for review.
- Enable clause-based reporting for compliance or audit.

### Smart Matching to Accounts, Opportunities, or Clauses

Smart Matching to Accounts, Opportunities, or Clauses

Use AI-powered logic to link extracted contracts and clauses to the correct Salesforce records — even when names or phrasing differ.

- Match by Account/Opportunity name, client ID, or contract number.
- Recognize variations in clause language, e.g., “renewal date” vs “contract extension term.”
- Trigger a fallback Flow if match confidence is low, prompting manual review.

### Automate Data Mapping & Generate Contract Documents

Automate Data Mapping & Generate Contract Documents

Extracted contract data flows directly into Salesforce fields and can be used to automatically generate new contract documents or ammendments.

- Populate templates with renewal dates, SLAs, indemnities, or other extracted clauses.
- Map extracted terms, values, and dates to standard or custom Salesforce objects.
- Trigger document creation and follow-up actions like reminders automatically using declarative Flows — no code needed.

### Enable Contract Insights & Alerts

Enable Contract Insights & Alerts

Turn static contract data into live business intelligence with reminders, reports, and dashboards.

- Auto-generate summaries, and schedule renewal or expiry notifications via Flow.
- Build dashboards for contract value, risk, or renewal pipeline.
- Integrate insights with CRM and forecasting processes.
