What are customer onboarding videos for contract management software?

Customer onboarding videos for contract management software are short walkthroughs that take a new team from its first template to its first signed contract. Legal sets up templates while sales sends contracts, so each person needs only their steps. Trainn creates them from screen recordings, one short video per step.

Every new customer gets the same hour-long walkthrough.

Record each step once and keep calls for questions.

How contract management teams use Trainn

Customers learn from the videos, then come with sharper questions

Our customers are more tech-savvy. So they prefer watching videos from the Spotdraft Video Hub to learn the product than me walking them through everything. They'd rather watch that and come to me for questions or critical things they'd want to sort

Frequently asked questions

How long should customer onboarding videos for contract management software be?

Keep each customer onboarding video for contract management software to one setup step and about 60–120 seconds, so a new customer can watch it and finish that step straight away. Longer setup works better as a short series than as one long video:

  • One step per video. For example: create your first contract from a template, send a contract for internal review and approval and edit a contract in the Word add-in. Each video ends when that step is done.
  • A step-by-step guide beside every video for people who prefer to scan or copy exact values. Trainn creates the guide from the same recording.
  • The series in setup order. Group the videos in one onboarding collection so customers always know which step comes next.
  • A clear finish line. End the series at the first real result, such as “choose who signs and send your first contract for e-signature”, so customers see value as soon as onboarding is done.

What should customer onboarding videos for contract management software include?

Customer onboarding videos for contract management software should cover every step between sign-up and the first real result, in the order legal, sales and procurement teams actually do them, with test data on screen and a guide beside each video. Include:

  • Every setup step, in order: create your first contract from a template, send a contract for internal review and approval, edit a contract in the Word add-in, choose who signs and send your first contract for e-signature and set a renewal reminder on a signed contract.
  • Who does each step. Setup is usually split across roles, so label each video for the person who owns it.
  • Safe sample data. Counterparty names and similar details should come from a test account, never a new customer's live account.
  • A consistent voice. Generate AI Voiceover writes and voices a script from your clicks, so every step sounds the same whoever recorded it.
  • Translations for customers outside English-speaking markets, in 30+ languages, kept in sync when you update the original.

Trainn can host the series as an onboarding collection; see customer onboarding software.

How do you know if onboarding videos are working?

Onboarding videos are working when new legal, sales and procurement teams finish setup faster and reach their first result without needing a call or a support ticket. Track these signals:

  • Completion per step. If most viewers finish one step but few start the next, the next video, or the step itself, needs fixing.
  • Drop-off points inside a video. A spike at the same second usually means a confusing screen or narration that's too long.
  • Time to the first real result, such as “choose who signs and send your first contract for e-signature”. This is the clearest sign that onboarding is working.
  • Fewer setup questions to support, for example about “send a contract for internal review and approval”.

Trainn's video analytics show who watched each step and where viewers stopped, so your team can reach out before a new account stalls.
