Commenda integrates with DocuSign to let you collect electronic signatures on documents directly from the platform. The eSign feature is available within service requests.

How it works

1

Open a service request

Navigate to a service request and click the kebab menu (three dots). Select Request Signature.
2

Select a document

Upload a new document or choose from documents already attached to the service request.
3

Add recipients

Select from existing contacts associated with the service, or add new recipients by entering their name and email. You can add multiple recipients if the document requires signatures from multiple people.
4

Place signature fields

Using DocuSign’s embedded interface, visually place signature fields, date fields, text fields, and other form elements on the document. Assign fields to specific recipients.
5

Send the envelope

Review the document and click Send. DocuSign sends email notifications to all recipients.

Signature tasks

When you send a document for signature, the system automatically creates one task per recipient. These tasks appear on the service page and Home screen.

Task statuses

StatusDescription
PendingRecipient is waiting for notification, or waiting for a previous signer to complete (when using signing order)
SentDocuSign has sent the email to the recipient
ViewedRecipient has opened the document
SignedRecipient has completed signing
CanceledYou or an agent canceled the signature request
If you configure an explicit signing order (for example, Signer 1 must sign before Signer 2), subsequent signers remain in “Pending” status until the previous signer completes. Once the previous signer finishes, DocuSign updates the next signer’s status to “Sent” and sends them an email notification.

Managing signature requests

Sending reminders

You can send reminders to recipients who haven’t signed yet by locating the signature task and clicking Send Reminder.
  • Maximum of 1 reminder per day per recipient
  • Both agents and clients can send reminders
  • If both send a reminder on the same day, the second attempt is suppressed

Viewing signed documents

Once a recipient signs, the task status updates to “Signed.” Agents can download the signed document from the task card. Commenda stores the signed document with the service request.

Canceling signature requests

Agents can cancel signature requests that are in progress. When canceled:
  • Commenda voids all pending signatures
  • Recipients can no longer sign the document
  • Commenda marks all tasks as “Canceled”

Signer experience

When someone receives a document to sign:
  1. They receive an email from DocuSign with a link to view and sign the document
  2. They click the link and review the document
  3. They complete the required signature fields and submit
  4. No DocuSign account is required to sign
Clients see signature tasks on their Commenda dashboard with the message “An email has been sent to ” and an option to send a reminder.

What happens after signing

  • When a recipient signs, the task status updates and you can download the signed document
  • If multiple signers are required, DocuSign automatically notifies the next recipient
  • When all recipients sign, Commenda marks the envelope as “Completed”

When a recipient declines to sign

If a recipient declines to sign:
  1. DocuSign automatically cancels the entire envelope — it voids all signatures, not just the one that was declined
  2. Commenda marks all tasks as “Canceled” — including recipients who haven’t been notified yet
  3. Commenda records the decline reason — the task description shows which recipient declined
  4. No further signatures are possible — you must create a new signature request

Notifications

DocuSign’s native notification service handles all signature-related notifications — not Commenda’s notification system. This includes email reminders, confirmation emails, and completion notifications.
The DocuSign integration is available to service providers and advisors. Contact your Commenda account manager for setup.
