We're so excited to bring you the sixth edition of the Avvoka Quarterly. It's been a busy season for us and we're using this as an opportunity for you to catch up with the team and hear about all of the exciting things that we've been up to.
Feature Updates
Have you ever needed to update the language of one of your precedents? Is a third party helping you with the process or do you prefer to do this directly on word?
With our template round-tripping feature, you can now download your automated templates as a .docx file, edit them offline and upload them again into Avvoka without losing your automation or formatting!
New DocuSign envelopes!
We’re very excited to announce the launch of our new integrated offering with DocuSign, which takes our deal automation to the next level!
We’ve had a DocuSign integration for some time, but this new tool allows lawyers to mass generate thousands of transaction documents on Avvoka and then, based on the deal-specifics provided, intelligently package the documents required for each individual recipient into personalised DocuSign envelopes. It saves tens of hours per deal where there are multiple e-signature recipients!
If you’re curious how the next deal could be turned around in rapid time, click the video below! You can also get in touch for a bespoke demo of the DocuSign x Avvoka mass signature integration.
