Prerequisites

The DocuSign Module allows users to send documents to DocuSign to capture electronic signatures and initials. 

The Module provides Flow steps that use X and Y positions on the document to mark where to sign. Additionally, it enables the use of DocuSign's "Tag" feature to indicate areas in the document that require signatures. 

Users should also take a look at the DocuSign Enhancer accelerator project that makes using the DocuSign module much easier.

DocuSign Flow Steps

After the Module has been installed and DocuSign settings have been configured, Flow steps will be made available to users and listed under INTEGRATION > DOCUSIGN.

The Deserialise DocuSign Envelope Information takes in XML String and will deserialize it to DocuSign Envelope Information output.

Get Document Status

The Get Document Status Step retrieves the status of the DocuSign documents by outputting a String data type value. It also contains the same inputs as the Get Certificate Step.

Input ParameterDescription
EnvelopeIdThe EnvelopeId is the DocuSign identifier for a group of signed or unsigned documents.
Override CredentialsThis optional input allows the developer to override the DocuSign settings configured in the System Settings.


Get Signed Documents

The Get Signed Documents Step will use the same inputs as the previous step, but the output returns a list of documents.

Input ParameterDescription
EnvelopeIdThe EnvelopeId is the DocuSign identifier for a group of signed or unsigned documents.
Override CredentialsThis optional input allows the developer to override the DocuSign settings configured in the System Settings.

  • Absolute Position: uses the position in the document.
  • Anchor Tabs: uses Anchor Strings to place the sign here field.
    • For example: an Anchor String would be "Please sign here" and the x offset would be +10 pixels.
