Connect your Docusign Instance

Note: This only applies to Paid Users. A User must also have Admin privileges to access Integrations.

 

Overview

The recommended method of signing an agreed-upon Cover Page on the Bonterms Platform is by connecting your e-signature platform and signing using the integration. This ensures that the contents of the Cover Page (Key Terms, Additional Terms and Attachments, if any) that gets signed matches what you agreed and approved. If a deal is signed off-platform and does not use the integration, Bonterms cannot guarantee that the contents of the Cover Page match what you agreed with your counterparty. Using the integration ensures that both parties sign the agreed-upon Cover Page on the e-signature platform.

 

Notes on Docusign Integration

  • The integration only needs to be set up once for your organization.
  • Our integration works by connecting a “User ID” from Docusign. We recommend that the User ID that you use is from a Service Account on Docusign (eg. “Bonterms Legal”). All Docusign envelopes that get sent to your counterparty will include the name of the Docusign account that you connect (eg. “Joe Smith via Docusign” and “Joe Smith sent you a document to review and sign”).
  • In order to connect your Docusign instance, you will need to work with a team member who has Admin rights within your Docusign Account.
  • Invite the user with Admin Docusign access into your Bonterms Account through the “Team Page”

Embedded / Inline Signatures on the Bonterms Platform

In the Docusign Integrations Page, Admins have the option to enable 'Inline Signature'. This feature allows both sides of the Deal to sign the Cover Page directly in the Bonterms Platform, rather than sending an email from Docusign and having both Signers exit Bonterms to sign in the Docusign Platform.

Note: In order to turn this feature on within the Bonterms Platform, there must be no Deals awaiting a signature from either side. Complete those Deals prior to turning on this setting.
