How it works

Sending Documents for Signature

Users upload a document, add recipient email addresses, and place fields for signatures, dates, or other information. DocuSign emails a secure link to recipients, who can review and sign the document electronically on any device.

Managing Agreement Workflows

For complex processes, users build automated workflows using Maestro. This can route contracts for approvals, manage renewals, and ensure compliance by connecting data across various business systems like CRM or ERP platforms.

Analyzing Existing Agreements

Businesses upload their existing agreement libraries to the Navigator tool. AI analyzes the documents to extract key terms, provide insights, and send reminders for critical dates like renewals or expirations.

Integrating with Business Systems

Developers and IT teams use DocuSign APIs to embed electronic signature and agreement management capabilities directly into existing business applications, such as Salesforce, SAP, or custom software.
