To use a direct workflow, enable the switch and select a workflow:

Then, select the workflow you wish to connect:

Here, we have selected "Sales Agreement":

Afterwards, select the Aerofiler fields you wish to connect to the other application. Here is an example of selecting "Counterparty", "Start Date", "End Date", and "Contract Value":

You should then be able to copy the link for use in the other application:

``` https://demo.aerofiler.com/approval/partial-contract?counterparty=[COUNTERPARTY]&startDate=[START DATE]&afEndDate=[END DATE]&contractValue=[CONTRACT VALUE] ``` The final step is to replace the values in square brackets (in the above example \[COUNTERPARTY], \[START DATE], \[END DATE] and \[CONTRACT VALUE]) in the other application. **Salesforce Example** Using Salesforce an an example, suppose you wish to create a link in an Account called "Generate Contract". Begin by choosing "Account" from the Object Manager:

Then, click on "Buttons, Links, and Actions":

Create a new button or link, and name it "Generate Contract":

Then, paste in the link from Aerofiler and highlight the relevant field. In the example below, we are mapping to "Counterparty" in Aerofiler:

You would then replace it with the relevant field in Salesforce. Here, we are mapping "Account Name" to "Counterparty":

This is what the link should look like after replacement:

You can then optionally map any further fields required. **Adding a Link in Salesforce** In Object Manager, click on Page Layouts:

Then choose the relevant layout:

Add a custom link to the Account as follows:

**Generating the Contract from Salesforce** In an account, if you now click on details you will see an option to generate a contract:

This will direct you to Aerofiler, where you can select the applicable contract workflow:

When you select the applicable contract workflow, any mapped fields should be automatically brought into Aerofiler:
