  • The required signature boxes for each 'Role' on the funding. For example, the Owner/Client, Contractor and Architect/Engineer who are parties on the funding. This includes each users 'Name' and 'Email Address.' For more information, see Add Recipients to the Envelope below.

Add Recipients to the Envelope

To add recipients to the envelope:

  1. Under 'Add Recipients to the Envelope', keep the default recipient blocks, their names and their email addresses. This data is added to the envelope automatically by the Procore+DocuSign® integration. If the data was specified in Procore, the values in the 'Name' and 'Email Address' fields of the recipient blocks correspond to these fields in Procore:
  • Architect. This is the individual designated in the 'Architect/Engineer' field of the funding. 
  • Main Contractor. This the individual who is designated in the 'Primary Contact' field of the Project Directory for the company designated in the 'Contractor'' field of the funding. 
  • Owner. This is the individual designated as the 'Owner/Client' in the funding. 
     Tips
    • Not seeing one of the recipient blocks in DocuSign®? If your company has engaged the Procore Custom Solutions team to add custom fields to the Funding tool or if your company has implemented one of Procore's language or point-of-view dictionaries, the recipient blocks in your environment may be different. Check with your company's Procore Administrator to see if your tool has any custom fields. To learn more, see What languages are available in Procore? and What tool names and terms are different in Procore for main contractors, owners and speciality contractors?
    • Not seeing a 'Name' or 'Email Address' in a recipient block? If data wasn't entered in one of the funding fields before you sent the item to DocuSign®, theere was no data to transfer to DocuSign®. You will need to return to Procore, enter the data in the appropriate field and resend the envelope to DocuSign®.
