Frequently Asked Questions
How does DocuSign integrate with Salesforce?
DocuSign integrates natively with Salesforce using the DocuSign Gen for Salesforce app (formerly DocuSign for Salesforce). We configure automated workflows where users can: Send documents for signature directly from Salesforce records, Track signature status in real-time, Store completed documents in Salesforce Files or external storage, and Trigger Salesforce workflows based on signature events. All configuration is point-and-click.
Can we automate document generation and sending?
Yes. We build automated workflows using Process Builder, Flow, or Apex that: Auto-generate documents from Salesforce templates, Pre-fill form fields with Salesforce data, Route to appropriate signers based on business rules, Send reminder emails automatically, and Update Salesforce records upon completion. For example, when an Opportunity reaches 'Closed Won', automatically generate and send account opening documents.
How do you ensure compliance with SEC and FINRA requirements?
Our integration includes: Complete audit trail of all signature requests and completions, Tamper-evident PDF certificates of completion, Long-term document retention (7+ years), Integration with Salesforce Shield for encryption, Compliance with SEC Rule 17a-4 for electronic recordkeeping, and Role-based access controls. All configurations are documented for regulatory audits.
What happens if a client declines to sign or the document expires?
We configure exception handling: Salesforce records update with 'Declined' or 'Expired' status, Automated tasks created for follow-up, Email notifications sent to document owner, and Workflow triggers for escalation if needed. Users can resend expired documents or create new signature requests with one click from Salesforce.
Can multiple people sign the same document in sequence?
Absolutely. DocuSign supports complex routing: Sequential signing (second signer receives after first completes), Parallel signing (all signers receive simultaneously), Hybrid routing (combination of sequential and parallel), Role-based routing (sales rep signs, then client, then manager), and Conditional routing based on form field values. We configure routing logic during implementation.
How are completed documents stored?
We configure storage based on your preferences: Salesforce Files attached to relevant records, Salesforce Content Management System (CMS), External document management systems (SharePoint, Box, etc.), or Hybrid approach (metadata in Salesforce, PDFs in external system). All options maintain links to Salesforce records for easy access.
