Sending a document for e-signature

Send documents from a customer's Files tab to DocuSign for certified signing.

DocuSign must be connected in Settings → E-Signature. The document must be stored on a customer record and must be a PDF, DOC, or DOCX file smaller than 20 MB.

Each request includes one document and one signer.


Which documents can be sent

  • The file has to be a PDF, DOC or DOCX. Other file types show nothing in the Signature column.

  • The file has to be under 20 MB.

  • The file has to belong to a customer. A file held outside a customer record cannot be sent, because the signed copy is stored on the customer.

  • Each request covers one document and one signer. To collect two signatures, send the document twice or combine the signing in DocuSign itself.


Send a document for signature

  1. Open the Customer and go to the Files tab.

  2. Find the document and, in the Signature column, click Send for signature.

  3. Choose the signer:

    • Select a contact uses a contact already saved on the customer.

    • Use a different signer lets you enter the signer’s name and email address.

  4. Optionally change the email subject.

  5. Click Send.

DocuSign emails the request to the signer and the Signature column changes to Sent.

Access the signed document

When the document is completed, Kolleno stores a new signed PDF with the DocuSign Certificate of Completion on the same customer. The original file remains unchanged.

Automatic signature requests

A web form configured to collect a signature can generate a PDF and send it for signature automatically. The resulting request follows the same status, signed-document, and audit-trail process.
