Keep new Salesforce contacts ready in Docusign

Let new contacts flow into the Docusign address book so the team has fewer details to enter when an agreement is ready.

Trigger

New Contact Trigger

Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.

Action

Add contacts to contacts list

Adds multiple contacts to a user's contacts list in docusign. this endpoint allows for bulk addition of contacts with detailed information, including cloud provider details, phone numbers, email addresses, and notary-specific information. it's particularly useful for populating a user's address book efficiently or synchronizing contacts from external sources. the endpoint supports various contact types, including regular contacts, shared contacts, and signing groups. use this when you need to add or update multiple contacts simultaneously in a docusign account. note that while it can handle a variety of contact information, it does not provide functionality for removing or deactivating contacts.

Why this helps

New contacts often need to be added again before the team can prepare documents and send them for signature.

  • Reduce duplicate contact entry.
  • Make newly created contacts available in Docusign.
  • Keep contact preparation close to the CRM source.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Docusign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add each new Salesforce contact to the Docusign contacts list using the details available.
  • 4Pick the Salesforce New Contact trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real contact.
