DocuSign Integration

Are contracts signed in DocuSign and then saved in your inbox instead of your contract repository? ContractHero automatically imports signed documents, creates the contract entry, and attaches the audit trail and certificate directly to the contract.

The challenge

Signed does not necessarily mean properly managed

In many companies, the process does not culminate in structured contract management after the document is signed, but rather ends up in various filing systems. Although the document is signed, it is often unclear in day-to-day operations where the final contract has been filed, whether the audit trail is fully secured, and who is keeping track of deadlines or responsibilities. This is precisely what causes gaps between the signing process and contract management. Instead of a centralized, manageable inventory, important contract documents and supporting evidence often remain difficult to access.

When DocuSign becomes contract management

The DocuSign integration ensures that signed contracts are sent directly to the appropriate system. ContractHero handles the structured management of these contracts after they have been signed. Depending on the use case, contracts can be automatically imported from DocuSign or sent directly from ContractHero for signature. This creates a seamless process between signing and active contract management.

Frequently asked questions

Can contracts also be sent directly from ContractHero for signature?

Yes. With the signing module, contracts can be sent directly from ContractHero to DocuSign for signing. Once completed, the signed document is automatically sent back to ContractHero and stored there.

Does the integration also work for signature processes initiated in DocuSign?

Yes. The integration works both ways: On the one hand, contracts that have already been initiated and fully signed in DocuSign can be automatically imported into ContractHero. On the other hand, contracts can be sent directly from ContractHero to DocuSign for signing.

What happens to a contract after it has been signed in DocuSign?

Once all parties have signed, the contract is automatically transferred to ContractHero. There, a contract record is created, and the contract can be managed directly, including deadlines, terms, responsibilities, and other contract details.

What happens to the respective audit trails and certificates?

Audit trails and certificates are stored directly alongside the signed contract in ContractHero. This ensures that all relevant documentation remains centrally accessible and traceable at all times.

How is it determined where signed contracts are stored in ContractHero?

Template routing allows you to specify which team and category a contract is imported into. This can be defined on a per-DocuSign-template basis or through a general catch-all rule.

What are the requirements for setting up the DocuSign integration?

A DocuSign admin account is required for setup. The connection is configured once in the ContractHero settings. You can then specify which DocuSign templates should be linked to which teams and categories in ContractHero.
