SpotDraft to CPQ Integration

This page is a pattern guide, not a dedicated CPQ product specification. It describes a quote-to-contract model that fits the public contract, metadata, and webhook APIs.

Where this pattern fits

Use this pattern when a sales or revenue operations team needs to:

  • generate contracts from quote or order data
  • preserve pricing and commercial identifiers from the CPQ system
  • sync contract status back after review, signature, or execution

How the systems typically talk

CPQ event or approved quote
-> SpotDraft create contract API
-> SpotDraft workflow and signature process
-> webhook events for status changes
-> CPQ or CRM status update

Public API capabilities this pattern relies on

This pattern makes sense because the public API supports:

  • contract creation
  • external metadata correlation
  • contract retrieval and downloads
  • webhook delivery for later contract activity

APIs and data you usually need

  • contract creation APIs
  • metadata or external metadata fields for quote ids, opportunity ids, or order ids
  • contract retrieval APIs for lifecycle state and final contract identifiers
  • document retrieval when executed artifacts need to be attached back to the commercial record

Webhooks you should expect to use

The exact catalog depends on the workspace schema, but CPQ integrations usually care about:

  • contract sent for review or signature
  • signature completion
  • execution completion
  • later contract states that make downstream fetches relevant

Design guidance

  • persist the CPQ quote id as a durable join key
  • keep pricing or commercial source data in structured metadata, not just document text
  • treat webhooks as the primary trigger for downstream status sync
  • keep reconciliation logic for missed updates or changed quote states
