It makes sense in context. They negotiated the contract via text messages, and then one party asked, via that same text chat, if the contract they’d drawn up form that negotiation was agreeable The other party replied with a thumbs up.

If we were texting about getting drinks, and you said “How about tomorrow night, 8pm, at the Ale House,” how would you interpret me responding with “👍”?
