Sign a Document with DocuSign® in the Project Level Documents Tool

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Objective

To complete the electronic signature process for a document stored in a project's Documents tool using the Procore + DocuSign® integration.

Background

If you have a DocuSign© account, you can send a document stored in the Project level Documents tool to DocuSign© to collect signatures on it. This lets you request signatures from any individual with an email address. That person can then receive, review, and return their signatures online--at any time from any Internet-enabled device.

If you are the recipient of a signature request, you do not need a DocuSign® account. However, if you do have a DocuSign® account and the email address matches the email you use in Procore, a copy of any documents you sign will be saved in your DocuSign® account. See Do I need a DocuSign© account?

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Documents tool.
  • Additional Information:
    • Once you log into your DocuSign® account from Procore, you will NOT need to sign in again until the login token expires. Once expired, the 'Re-Authentication Required' banner appears in Procore. To learn more, see What do the different DocuSign® banners in Procore mean?
    • Only PDFs can be signed with DocuSign.
