Ironclad + Tropic: Unlocking Seamless Contract Workflows for Procurement and Legal

We've been listening closely to what you need. During customer calls and feedback sessions, we heard the same thing: "We love Tropic, but we need a better way to connect with our legal workflow in Ironclad." Today, we're announcing our powerful new Ironclad integration, designed to create exactly that: a seamless connection that empowers both teams.

Bridging the Gap Between Procurement and Legal

Does this sound familiar? Your procurement team just finalized the details of a new software purchase in Tropic. All the information is there, pricing, terms, stakeholders, and required approvals. Now it needs to move to legal for review.

In the past, this handoff could feel like tossing important documents over a wall, hoping everything made it to the other side. Information would get lost. Forms would need to be filled out twice. Comments and updates might not reach everyone who needed them.

Not anymore.

A Direct Connection for True Collaboration

Our new Ironclad integration creates a direct and robust bridge between Tropic and Ironclad. Information flows between systems, ensuring both procurement and legal teams have the most up-to-date context within their preferred platform. 

We designed this integration with a simple guiding principle: What would make life easier for both procurement and legal teams? The answer was clear: systems that talk to each other seamlessly, passing information back and forth without forcing humans to do the heavy lifting. This new integration delivers on that vision.

What's New (and Why You'll Love It)

Seamless Form Mapping

When someone fills out a request form in Tropic, that information now flows directly into the corresponding Ironclad form fields. Names, dates, contract values, and approvers, all transferred automatically. No more copy-paste. No more asking people to enter the same information twice.

Comments That Follow You

Have an important question about a contract? Need to explain why a certain term is vital to your company? Comments now sync between both systems, creating one continuous conversation that everyone can follow, regardless of which tool they're using.

Flexible Workflows That Match Reality

Every company's contracting process is unique. That's why we now support all Ironclad field types and let you choose which Ironclad workflows to bring into Tropic. Map only what you need, and add Ironclad workflow questions to any page in your Tropic request form.

Real-Time Visibility Across Systems

For procurement teams, waiting for contract approvals can feel like sending a message in a bottle. Is anyone looking at it? Has it been approved? With our new integration, you can see the status of Ironclad approvals and signatures right inside Tropic, with tasks that automatically complete when the work is done in Ironclad.

Why This Matters: Real People, Real Time Saved

Meet Sarah in procurement. Before this integration, she would spend hours each week manually transferring information from Tropic into Ironclad, then checking back and forth between systems to monitor progress.

Now Sarah sets up a purchase request in Tropic, and when it's time for legal review, she clicks a button, and all the relevant information appears in Ironclad instantly. She can monitor the approval process without switching systems, and she's automatically notified when contracts are ready for signature.

For Tom in legal, the benefits are just as significant. He no longer needs to hunt down missing information or ask the same questions procurement already answered. Everything he needs is right there in Ironclad, exactly where he expects it. He can focus on the legal review instead of chasing data.

Across your organization, this means:

  • Time back in your day through automatic information transfer
  • Fewer errors from manual data entry
  • Faster contract approvals with clear visibility into the process
  • Better collaboration between teams that traditionally worked in silos
  • More strategic focus as administrative tasks fade into the background

Getting Started is Simpler Than You Might Think

Setting up is straightforward. Just enable the Ironclad integration in Tropic, choose which workflows to sync, and you're ready to go. Our implementation team can help you configure the perfect setup for your specific needs.
