The challenge

Recital, a contract-negotiation platform, needed integrated email so contract activity could flow through its product instead of manual back-and-forth. Building separate integrations for Gmail and Outlook from scratch would have added significant development time and cost.

The solution

Recital integrated the Nylas Email API to connect Gmail and Microsoft Outlook through a single unified interface, embedding email directly into its contract-negotiation workflow.

For the average legal team, Recital can save at least $50,000 per employee, per year.
