- Add users to a user group or assign them a participant role. Any user in the group or with this role can sign a record that’s ready for signing if the group or role is a designated verifier.
- Create a signature trail.
-
Define signature details such as the designated verifiers.
See Define a Signature.
-
To validate the signers’ CRM user credentials, such as username, password, and client
Id, create a connected app, an authentication provider, and a named credential.
Important Connected apps creation is restricted as of Spring ‘26. You can continue to use existing connected apps during and after Spring ‘26. However, we recommend using external client apps instead. If you must continue creating connected apps, contact Salesforce Support. See New connected apps can no longer be created in Spring ‘26 for more details.- Create a connected app to act as an OAuth client that performs the validation.
- Create an authentication provider that stores authentication details such as the consumer key and secret, and authorization endpoints.
-
Create a named credential that references the authentication provider.
See Create a Named Credential.
Note When creating a named credential for Advanced Therapy Management select New Legacy. - In Setup, go to the Advanced Therapy Management Settings page, and then set the named credential record ID for digital verification.
- In Setup, go to the OAuth and OpenID Connect Settings page, and then enable Allow OAuth Username-Password Flows.
-
Configure a decision table that stores digital verification setup information such as the
required number of electronic signatures and the verification process type.
See Decision Table.
-
Create digital verification records automatically with a new flow or by overriding a
managed flow that creates or updates the related reference records. You can also create a
subflow to confirm that all signatures on a trail are complete.
See Flow Builder.
- Add the Digital Verification List component to the Home page or a record page such as the Care Program Enrollee record page.
