DocuSign for Zoho CRM

The DocuSign extension for Zoho CRM allows you to send documents to your contacts and have them digitally signed. This extension is supported for the Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Quotes, Invoices, Purchase Orders, and Sales Orders modules of Zoho CRM. The documents will be sent to the associated contacts for all records that aren’t leads and 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 the extension, three custom modules will be created. Based on the terminology used in DocuSign, these modules are named.
  1. Envelopes - This refers to each process of sending documents and getting them signed by the customers or prospects.
  2. Envelope Events - This module captures details on the date and time the documents were sent for signature and when they were signed.
  3. Envelope Recipients - This module captures details on the recipients of the document, the order in which they need to sign, etc.
Notes:
  1. Only administrators can install this extension.
  2. Accounts in Zoho CRM and DocuSign are required.
  3. Please note that the DocuSign extension for Zoho CRM is available in US, IN, AU, CA, and JP datacenters.
