How do I get started with Ironclad?

Subscribe, then enter your Ironclad API token (from **Company Settings → API → Access Tokens**). Your AI agent connects instantly to your workspace. No code, no SDK, no webhooks — just connect and start managing contracts through conversation.

Can my AI agent launch a new contract for a counterparty?

Yes. Tell your agent to launch a contract (e.g., "start an NDA for Acme Corp") and it selects the right template, fills in counterparty details, contract value, and effective dates. The workflow enters internal review immediately — your legal team sees it in their queue within seconds.

How do I find out why a contract is stuck in approval?

Ask your agent "who still needs to approve the Acme MSA?" and it shows every approver with their status — approved, pending, or rejected — plus any comments they left. You see exactly who is blocking the contract and can follow up directly, all without opening Ironclad.

Can I manage complex contract portfolios with multiple contract types?

Absolutely. Browse all your workflow templates (NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, amendments, renewals), search across the entire executed contract repository by counterparty or keyword, and track renewal dates — perfect for legal departments, procurement teams, and enterprises managing hundreds of active agreements.
