Workflow 1: Vendor DPA intake and routing
Trigger: a vendor completes an intake form. Actions: classify risk, generate DPA checklist, route to counsel with SLA, track signature deadline, notify ops when complete. Tools: n8n, PostgreSQL, email.
Workflow 2: Contract renewal tracker
Trigger: 60 days before renewal. Actions: pull contract from archive, surface terms and SLA, assign owner, log renew, negotiate, or exit decision. Tools: n8n, Docker, calendar feed.
Workflow 3: Legal request intake dashboard
Trigger: product or ops submits a request. Actions: auto-tag request type, estimate turnaround, route to owner, update status to ops lead daily. Tools: n8n, webhook, status dashboard.
Why n8n for legal ops
n8n is open-source, self-hostable, and purpose-built for workflow integration. Unlike enterprise CLM tools, it does not force a one-size-fits-all process onto your team. It lets legal and ops design their own control architecture.
Design principles that matter
Every workflow should answer four questions: who is responsible, what is the deadline, what is the evidence trail, and how is management alerted for exceptions. If a workflow cannot answer these, refine it before expanding.
How we help
We build legal ops automation for startups that cannot wait for enterprise CLM deployments. Fixed scope, fixed price, delivered in 10-14 days.
