Send to DocuSign

The Send to DocuSign flow block sends a document to DocuSign, allowing users to output a signed document. This signed document can then be linked into subsequent steps.

Flows with both a Retrieve Data flow block and a Send to DocuSign flow block automatically select the DocuSign data set for the Send to DocuSign flow block. From Smart Flows release 4.24.0 onwards, only users with the correct DocuSign license will be able to access ID verification and ID check. For more information on ID verification and how DocuSign supports it, please see ID Verification.

Flow Block Parameters

The dropdown menus below provide all of the flow block's configuration options with detailed information and recommendations to help you configure your flow block.

Flow output

Formula: Expire after (in days) value - Warn before expiration (in days) value = day of warning of expiration is sent.
