Zoho Sign integration with Zoho Flow

Zoho Sign integration with Zoho Flow

Zoho Sign is now available in Zoho Flow, an integration platform(iPaaS) that also acts as a workflow automation tool, using which users can create workflows to automate processes. 

With Zoho Sign's integration with Zoho Flow, you can effortlessly integrate 500+ cloud applications with Zoho Sign without learning to code.

Prerequisites

  1. An active Zoho Flow account.
  2. An active Zoho Sign account.
  3. Flows that only use triggers work across all plans, including the free edition, while flows that use actions require the Standard Plan or higher.
  4. Actions involving document submission in Zoho Sign are accessible from the Professional plan and above.
What's a flow?
A flow is a workflow that is created using Zoho Flow to integrate two or more applications. A flow can consist of only one trigger but various actions.

For example, when a document signing process is complete in Zoho Sign, the flow can perform actions like sending messages to the recipients in Zoho Cliq, or sending them emails through Gmail.

What's a trigger?
A trigger is an occurrence that initiates the flow. Zoho Flow offers three types of triggers: app-based, schedule-based, and webhook-based.



Zoho Sign currently supports ten app-based triggers in Zoho Flow
:

Document completed - Triggers when a document is completed
Document declined - Triggers when a document is declined
Document expired - Triggers when a document has expired
Document forwarded - Triggers when a document is forwarded
Document recalled - Triggers when a document is recalled
Document sent - Triggers when a document is sent
Document signed - Triggers when a document is signed
Document viewed - Triggers when a document is viewed
Folder created - Triggers when a new folder is created
Template created - Triggers when a new template is created

What's an action?
Actions are tasks that are performed by the flow. A flow can have multiple actions that need to be executed.

Zoho Sign currently supports nine actions that can be executed through a flow:

Actions available in the Free plan

Change request owner - Changes the owner of the document
Create folder - Creates a new document folder
Fetch document - Fetches document details using Request ID
Fetch recipient - Fetches the recipient details from a document using email address
Update document - Updates document details based on Request ID 

Actions available in the Professional plan and higher

Draft document - Creates a draft document using a template
Fetch template - Fetches details of an existing template using Template ID or name
Send document - Sends documents out for signature using an existing template
Send request by email - Sends document as an email attachment

What's a connection?
A connection is an app that you let Zoho Flow to access data from. 

For example, when you connect your Zoho Sign account to Zoho Flow, your Zoho Sign account is the connection.
