Renewal season landed and finance asked why you pay dashboard seats when only one service account sends. That is the Ironclad contract management reviews question.
Share: "Seat math should match who actually logs in, not who gets email."
What to do
- Create an envelope with PDF or DOCX at signup or via the API.
- Open
review_urland confirm fields and signers. - Send when ready. Track status with webhooks.
Details: /docs.
When to keep the incumbent
Legal standardized templates. CRM connectors already paid for. External signers only trust familiar email brands.
When to pilot Atlas
Sends start in code or agents. Volume is spiky. Service accounts should not need dashboard seats.
Takeaway
Run one real envelope to yourself this week. Sign on your phone. Confirm webhooks before production traffic. Then read the API docs for full wiring.
If sends start in code or agents and you want review before email, Atlas is built for that shape.

Ironclad vs API Signing
Ironclad owns template libraries and obligation tracking. Atlas signs finished PDFs your CLM exports. Many teams keep Ironclad for legal ops and call Atlas when an agent or backend needs signatures without CLM seat bundles.
Pilot Pattern
Export one renewal PDF from Ironclad. POST it to Atlas with review_url first. Wire webhooks to your CRM. Expand only after counsel signs off on the signed artifact layout.
