Please note: it is not possible to sync attachments from DocuSign to the attachments card on an object record. 

Use HubSpot fields in your DocuSign template

You can insert HubSpot data, such as information from your contact, company, or deal records, directly in to your DocuSign template. Only predefined HubSpot fields (i.e. HubSpot properties listed when the integration is first connected) can be used in your DocuSign templates. Fields added directly in the HubSpot embedded view will not be applied. The predefined fields can be found in your DocuSign settings. It is not possible to add custom HubSpot fields at this time. 

To use your HubSpot fields in DocuSign:

  • Log in to your DocuSign account.
  • Create a template in your DocuSign account.
  • Select a HubSpot field and add it to your template. All HubSpot fields begin with HS  and you can find them in the Custom Fields section. 
  • Save your template.
  • Navigate to your HubSpot account and use your template.

Please note: data will only be populated for the object record that the template is being created from. For example, if you're creating a template from the deal record, only deal properties will be populated. 

Use DocuSign events to trigger workflow actions (Marketing Hub, Sales Hub and Service Hub Professional and Enterprise)

You can trigger workflow actions from DocuSign events in contact workflows.

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Automation > Workflows.
  • Click Create workflow.
  • Select Contact-based as your workflow type, then click Create workflow.
  • Click the Contact enrollment trigger to add an enrollment trigger. In the right panel, select DocuSign: Contact timeline event template or select your own enrollment triggers.

  • Once your enrollment triggers have been set, you can add actions.
  • To send a DocuSign envelope, select Send DocuSign envelope in the workflow actions list. Select the User and Template.

When your workflow is turned on you may encounter some error messages:

Error How to resolve

The DocuSign workflow template does not have any placeholders or recipients.

This error relates to only contacts or deals. Ensure you have the correct number of placeholders or recipients added to your DocuSign template.

The DocuSign workflow template does not have any recipients.

This error relates to only contacts or deals. Ensure have the correct number of recipients added to your DocuSign template.

The DocuSign workflow template does not have any documents attached.

Ensure you have the correct documents added to the template.

The number of deal contacts is more than placeholders in template.

Ensure the template has enough placeholders for the number of contacts you wish to send the envelope to. For example, if you have three contacts and only two placeholders on the template, only the first two contacts will be added to the envelope and receive it. 

Auto-population for deal contacts was limited to number of placeholders in your template.

Your contact wasn't auto-populated as new recipient because template contains same email.

If the recipient email is equal to the contact email, HubSpot will skip auto-populating contacts from the HubSpot record.
