# Configuring external applications for legal contracts

Set up external applications that provide services such as electronically signing contract documents and saving signed contracts or the documents related to legal requests in an external storage system.

The Legal Service Delivery applications use spokes from Integration Hub to integrate with external applications. The legal configurator can complete configuring these external apps after the administrator has installed and configured these spokes.

## Integration with external storage systems

-   **Configure external storage provider spokes**

    The administrator can use the Integration Hub to install and configure the following external storage provider spokes for saving documents attached to legal contract requests and signed contract documents:

    -   [Google Drive spoke](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/googledrive-spoke.md)
    -   [Microsoft OneDrive spoke](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/onedrive-spoke.md)
-   **Configure an external storage provider**

    The legal configurator can set up the external storage app integrations for legal apps from **Legal Integrations**. For more information, see [Configure an external storage system for legal requests and legal matters](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/legal-request-management/integrate-legal-ext-storage.md).


## Integration with e-signature providers

-   **Configure electronic signature provider spokes**

    The administrator can use the Integration Hub to install and configure the following electronic signature provider spokes for contract documents:
