Adobe Sign for Salesforce - Email Component User Guide

The Adobe Sign for Salesforce email component is compatible with Microsoft Outlook Web App (OWA), Outlook 2016, Outlook for Mac 2016, as well as Gmail for Business accounts using the Chrome browser.

Overview

A Salesforce Admin must first configure the component on the Salesforce side. Once done, end-users only need enable the email add-in, authenticate to Salesforce, and then click an email.

The Adobe Sign for Salesforce add-in allows a user to click any email within their email client, and produce a list of related agreements based on the email addresses involved in the email selected.

Users also have the ability to send new agreements, send reminders, or even cancel an agreement directly from their email client.

At the top of the panel, the number of agreements found is indicated. e.g. Agreements (6)

Up to five agreements list by default, and if more are available, a View All link appears at the bottom of the list.  Clicking the View All link enables a scrolling window to review the full list of agreements.

View All Link

The agreement list is sorted based on the agreement Status. The sorting order is:

  • Pre-Send / Draft
  • Out for Signature / Out for Approval / Waiting for Counter Signer / Approval
  • Approved / Signed
  • Cancelled / Declined / Expired

Within sections, agreements are sorted by the Date Sent with the most recent at the top.

Clicking the agreement name opens a new tab to Salesforce, and present the full agreement.


Available Actions

The add-in panel does more than just list the agreements. Using the menu driven interface allows you to create new agreements, and initiate the most common tasks.

The Send New Agreement button is conspicuous enough, but just to the right of the agreement name is an arrow that opens the menu list for additional actions.

Only menu items that are possible are available in the menu list. For example, a Draft status agreement only has Edit and Delete as options.

Внимание:

There are no “Are you sure?” challenges. Actions selected from the menu list execute immediately.

Send New Agreement

As you might expect, the Send New Agreement button opens Salesforce in a new tab, and start a new agreement.  The address of the email sender is automatically imported to the agreement template.

Configure the agreement as you normally would.

Clicking the Edit option in the menu list launches a new tab and opens the agreement in Salesforce.

The Delete option in the menu list completes two tasks:

  • Cancel the agreement in Adobe Sign
  • Deletes the Agreement record from Salesforce

The Sign option is only available when it is your turn to sign the agreement.

Clicking Sign opens the agreement for you to review and apply your signature.

Clicking Remind in the menu list immediately sends a reminder to the current signer.

The Cancel option in the menu list cancels the transaction in Adobe Sign and Salesforce.

Unlike Delete, the Salesforce record remains in the Salesforce agreement list with a “Cancelled” status

The View option opens a new window to view the current state of the agreement.

All menu driven options, that don’t move you to a Salesforce window, report the success of the action taken at the top of the agreement list
