Claim 8:
9. A computing device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
access, by a contract platform via a tool configured to interact with a plurality of third-party networking platforms, an electronic messaging platform to identify one or more electronic messages associated with a workflow;
based on identifying one or more electronic messages associated with the workflow, retrieve, by the contract platform, a first electronic message associated with the workflow;
identify a first document attached to the first electronic message associated with the workflow as an updated version of a document associated with the workflow, wherein identifying the first document attached to the first electronic message comprises matching metadata in the first document with a prior version of the first document stored in a database;
verify whether the first document is legitimate by determining whether the first document can be decrypted using a decryption key;
based on a verification that the first is legitimate and that the first electronic message is associated with the workflow, identify at least a portion of the first document that comprises one or more action items;
update the workflow associated with the document based on the one or more identified action items;
store the first document attached to the first electronic message in the database as a new version of the document; and
