Objective

To complete the signature process for a main contract with the DocuSign® integration.

Background

If you have a DocuSign® account, you can connect your Procore main contract to DocuSign® tool to manage the signature process. This lets you and your main contract's signatories receive, review and return contract signatures online—at any time and from any Internet-enabled device. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To initiate the DocuSign® signature process, 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Main Contracts tool. 
       Note
      To sign a Procore main contract with DocuSign®, you do NOT require access permission to Procore's Main Contracts tool. A PDF copy of the main contract is available in DocuSign® for review.

  • Click Continue.
  • Enter your password.
  • Click Log In. 
    The main contract and any attachments appear in the 'Add Documents to the Envelope' section.  
  • Optional: If you want to upload additional documents, you have these options:
    • Upload
    • Use a Template
    • Get From Cloud
       Important
      If you upload additional documents to DocuSign®, those documents are only added to DocuSign®. They are NOT added to Procore. 
  • In the 'Add Recipients to the Envelope' section, the 'Architect/Engineer' and 'Owner/Client' designated in the contract are automatically added to the envelope as recipients. 
     Note
    If your project has implemented a custom form for your project's Main Contracts tool or if you want to add more recipients to the envelope, you can add them using the options in DocuSign®. Keep in mind that these recipients are NOT added to Procore, they are only added to DocuSign®.

    • Signature. 
    • Date Signed.

    Procore sends the main contract to the named recipients to collect their signatures. Recipients do NOT require a DocuSign® account. See Do I need a DocuSign© account? However, they do need to agree to the terms of the DocuSign® Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure. After a recipient signs the contract, a copy of the signed contract is sent to all signers.
    Example

    When all of the signatures are completed, the following banner appears across the top of the main contract. You have these options:

    • View. This lets you view the contract. Click the Export link to download the contract to your web browser's Download location on your computer. 
    • Edit. This lets you edit the contract. Log back into your DocuSign® account to modify the envelope in DocuSign®. 
    • Withdraw. Click OK at the confirmation message to delete the signed contract from DocuSign®.
