To use the DocuSign integration you must first have a DocuSign account and each user needs login credentials. To set up and use DocuSign Integration:
Set-up DocuSign credentials in VanillaSoft:
- Login as an Admin
- Select a Project
- Go To Lead Integration-> DocuSign
- Add DocuSign Admin credentials and validate
- Add users who will be sending DocuSign documents
Adding or Linking DocuSign users in VanillaSoft:
- Go To Lead Integration-> DocuSign
- If the user has a DocuSign account already, select their name from the dropdown menu below "Enable for an Existing DocuSign User" and click the Enable button
- If the user does not have a DocuSign account, select their username from the dropdown menu below "Add a new DocuSign User", then enter their email address in "DocuSign Username/Email" and click Add
- After either method, the next time that User logs in to VanillaSoft, they will be prompted to enter their DocuSign credentials by a an "Activate DocuSign" link at the top of their page
- Clicking this link will allow the User to enter their DocuSign credentials
- The User is now set up and able to send contracts via DocuSign from within their VanillaSoft caller panel.
Create Document:
- You may use WORD or PDF Forms to create your document.
- If you would like to insert merged field values from the VanillaSoft contact please go to How To Set Up A Mergeable Document.
- The following DocuSign input field variables may be added using the following codes and must be entered exactly (case sensitive).
- InputText1-1 - standard text input for first signer
- InputText1-2 - standard text input for second signer
- Initial1 - initials field for first signer
- Initial2 - initials field for second signer
- Signer1 - signature field for first signer
- Signer2 - signature field for second signer
- DateSigned1 - Date for first signer
- DateSigned2 - Date for second signer
- Input Text Color - The input key acts as a marker for DocuSign. This means that DocuSign will overlay the input/signature field over the text marker. It is a good idea to make the input key color the same color as the document background or a very light color so it's not visible underneath the input field and/or signature field when filled out and signed.
Sending a DocuSign document from the Contact Page
- Click the drop-down menu above the contact's name, and select Send DocuSign Contract
- Select Contract
- Edit the signer's name(s) if needed
- Enter a Subject and an email body to be delivered with the contract attachment
- Send
Tracking DocuSign Documents
- On the VanillaSoft contact screen under Attachments you will see all sent documents to that contact
- For each document you will see two (2) versions: the original sent document, and a version that will update throughout the signing process
- When a signer completes the signing process, the document status will update to "Complete"
- VanillaSoft will track in real time the Status, Send Date, Delivered Date, and Signed Date for each recipient

If a user changes their DocuSign credentials, they will need to update that information in VanillaSoft.
- Click on user account info (username in the upper right of your VanillaSoft screen)
- Select DocuSign
- Update credentials
