Once you perform all the steps described above, go to the 'Documents' module and connect your DocuSign account following these instructions.

To be able to send your documents for signing using DocuSign, you'll also need to switch your portal to HTTPS, because DocuSign does not support HTTP.

Depending on which environment you use (DocuSign Sandbox or Production account), other portal users who want to be able to send their documents for signature should also use corresponding accounts:

  • https://account-d.docusign.com - if you use a sandbox.
  • https://account.docusign.com - if you use a production account.

For further instructions on how to send documents for signature you can refer to this article.
