Submitting a Contract for eSignature
DocuSign manages the contract document signature flow. After DocuSign gathers the signatures, DocuSign sends the signed contract document back. Vlocity CLM can automatically attach the signed contract document to the latest version of the contract. Vlocity CLM and DocuSign are integrated to use eSignatures.
When a contract document is available to send for eSignature, Vlocity CLM notifies the recipients, and can include a message. You can configure who the recipients are, where in the contract they sign, and the labels and other text used. Recipients are associated with Contacts.
A contract goes into effect when it is signed and executed. The Contract Status field indicates the current contract state, for example:
-
negotiating
-
finalizing
-
awaiting approval
-
signed
-
active
-
expired
Vlocity CLM is integrated with DocuSign. Contracts are sent to all parties using secure email. After all parties have signed, the contract state becomes Approved.
