DocuSign

The DocuSign extension in Zoho CRM helps you send documents to your contacts and get them signed. This extension is supported for the Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Quotes, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Sales Orders modules. Apart from leads and contacts, for the rest of the records, document will be sent to the associated contacts. Quotes, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Sales Orders are generated as PDF files. Templates can be created for these records and the documents can be sent for signature using this extension.

On installing this extension, three custom modules will be created. Based on the terminology used in DocuSign, these modules are named.

Envelops - This refers to each process of sending documents and getting them signed by the customers or prospects.
EnvelopEvents - This module captures details on the date and time the documents were sent for signature and when they were signed.
Envelop Recipients - This module captures details on the recipients of the document, the order in which they need to sign, etc.
