The limits of legacy CLMS & DIY workflows

Manual review

Redlining and reviewing same verbiage over and over slows legal when its not automated.

Cross team visibility

Stakeholders don’t know what’s waiting on legal, or why. Progress stalls and legal is to blame.

Missed handoffs

Final versions get lost in the shuffle. Signatures lag, deals slow, and risk increases.

Contract Routing

Route contracts to the right person

Aline automates routing and approvals, so every contract moves to the right reviewer at the right time. Legal sets the rules once — Aline enforces them automatically.

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about Aline's AI Workflows for Contract Management.

How is Aline different from a traditional CLM?

Most CLMs store documents and route approvals.
Aline does that and adds AI agents for drafting, redlining, legal research, and contract reporting — all in one system. Teams replace 3–5 tools with a single platform that actually understands legal work.

Do we need to replace our entire CLM to use Aline workflows?

No. Many teams use Aline alongside their existing CLM. Workflows, Legal Copilot, and Reporting can run independently — you can start with one component and expand as you go.

How hard is it to set up workflows?

Workflows require zero engineering.

You simply tell Aline:
1. contract type
2. required reviewers
3. approval rules
4. signature steps

Aline builds the flow automatically, and you can adjust it in minutes.

Can Aline route contracts based on value, contract type, or risk level?

Yes. Aline supports dynamic routing:
1. contract value thresholds
2. department-based approvals
3. clause-level risk flags
4. internal policy requirements
5. fallback logic from your playbooks

Workflows adapt in real time based on the document.

Does Aline support redlining inside the workflow?

Yes.

Redlining is built directly into the review steps:
1. AI fallback suggestions
2. comparison against your templates
3. risk and deviation flags
4. tracked changes and comments

No exporting to Word. No email chains.

How does Aline handle signature?

AlineSign is included — no separate tool required. You can send, track, and securely store executed documents in the same workflow.Audit trails and recipient logs are automatic.

Can business teams (like Sales or Procurement) use workflows?

Yes. Each workflow includes business-friendly steps so
Sales, Finance, Procurement, or Operations can see:
- what’s pending
- who’s reviewing
- what they need to do next

This removes 80% of back-and-forth with legal teams.

What kind of visibility do workflows give us?

Aline provides full lifecycle tracking:
1. reviewer status
2. pending approvals
3. cycle times
4. bottleneck detection
5. renewal & obligation alerts

You can see every contract’s path without checking email or messaging anyone.

Can we customize workflows for different departments?

Yes.
You can create specific flows for:
- NDAs
- MSAs
- Vendor contracts
- DPAs
- Employment agreements
- SOWs
- Amendments

Each can have its own routing, rules, and signature requirements.

How secure is Aline for contract workflows?

Aline uses enterprise-grade security:
- SOC 2 Type II
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Granular permissions
- SSO / SCIM
- Audit logs
- Data isolation

And unlike generic AI tools, Aline does not train on your data.

Do workflows work if our contracts live in Google Drive, Box, or SharePoint?

Yes.Aline syncs with your file storage, ingests contracts automatically, and applies workflows without you needing to move files manually.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams start using workflows the same week they onboard.Aline delivers white-glove migration, setup, and training at no cost.
