How does ERPNext work for Document Review automation?
ERPNext works for Document Review automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to ERPNext alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Document Review, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Read the inbound MSA from Northwave with @ERPNext
AI analyzes contracts and documents in minutes instead of hours, surfacing key clauses and risks.
- 03
Flag deviations from our standard terms
Teams typically see hours → Minutes with flags for attorney attention once the agent is in production.
- 04
Draft a redline
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
