AI Counterparty Version Auto-Upload
Last updated: September 10, 2026
SpotDraft can automatically detect and upload revised contracts your counterparties send back by email, so your team doesn't have to.
Overview 🚀
When a counterparty sends back a revised contract over email, SpotDraft's AI can recognize it, upload it as a new version, and keep your team informed, all without anyone needing to open the attachment or upload it themselves. This keeps the contract record current and the negotiation moving, even when no one is actively watching the inbox.
A Common Scenario 🤝
You send a vendor agreement out for review. A few days later, the counterparty's legal team replies with tracked changes and a note saying "please find the revised agreement attached." Instead of someone on your team spotting that email and uploading the file themselves, SpotDraft picks it up, confirms it's genuinely a revised version, and adds it to the contract automatically. Your team gets notified the moment it happens, so the negotiation keeps moving without anyone needing to watch the inbox.
What You Can Expect ✅
A revised contract comes back. SpotDraft uploads it as a new version and notifies your business user and legal reviewer on Slack.
A signed or executed copy comes back. SpotDraft does not upload it automatically. Instead, your business user and legal reviewer are notified to review it and take the next step themselves, so a signed document is never mistaken for a routine draft.
Something SpotDraft can't confidently identify comes back. No action is taken. Your business user and legal reviewer are notified so they can take a look and decide what to do.
Every automatic upload is recorded in the contract's Activity Log, clearly attributed to SpotDraft rather than a specific person, so it's always clear how a version was added.
FAQs 💬
Will SpotDraft ever upload something I didn't want uploaded? No. SpotDraft only uploads a version automatically when it's confident the attachment is genuinely a revised contract. If there's any doubt, no upload happens and your team is notified to review it instead.
What happens if a counterparty sends a signed copy? It's held for your review rather than uploaded automatically. You'll get a Slack notification so you can take it from there.
Does this apply once a contract is out for signature? No. Automatic upload only applies while a contract is in Draft or Redlining.
Who shows up as the uploader in the Activity Log? SpotDraft, not an individual team member, so it's easy to tell an upload happened automatically.
