FAQ - E-Sign not Triggered through Workflow Actions
If an E-Sign action is not triggered when performing Workflow trigger actions in a form record, ensure that the following steps are configured correctly.
For E-Sign action triggers via workflow actions, Zoho Sign integration with Zoho People is required, integrations with other e-sign platforms do not support this feature.
The Workflows and the associated E-Sign flows can be configured in Settings > Service > Automation.
- Ensure that you have a valid license for Zoho Sign to trigger the E-Sign action.
If your Zoho Sign license plan is expired or downgraded to a free plan, the E-Sign action will not be triggered. For more details on Zoho Sign licences, refer to Zoho Sign Plans. - Ensure that you have added sufficient sign fields in the Mail Merge Template with respect to the recipients in the E-Sign Flow.
