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.
