## Overview

Greenhouse manages your recruiting pipeline. DocuSign handles legally binding signatures. But when a candidate reaches the offer stage, most teams are still doing manual exports, email chains, and copy-paste to get documents from one system into the other. Integrating Greenhouse with DocuSign via tray.ai removes that gap entirely, automating everything from offer approval to signed contract.

Every time your team manually bridges Greenhouse and DocuSign, you're burning time and taking on risk. A delayed offer letter can cost you a candidate. A missed signature step creates compliance headaches. By integrating Greenhouse with DocuSign on tray.ai, you can trigger document generation the moment a candidate moves to the offer stage, pre-populate offer letters with candidate and role data from Greenhouse, collect legally binding signatures through DocuSign, and write the signed status back to the candidate's Greenhouse record — all without anyone touching it manually. The result is faster time-to-sign, a cleaner candidate experience, and an audit trail your HR and legal teams will actually appreciate.

## Use cases

### Automated Offer Letter Generation and Sending

When a candidate is marked as ready for an offer in Greenhouse, tray.ai automatically pulls their name, role, compensation, and start date to populate a DocuSign envelope and send it directly to the candidate. No more downloading offer templates and filling in fields by hand. Recruiters get notified when the envelope is sent and when it's signed.

- Reduces offer letter turnaround from hours to minutes
- Eliminates data entry errors from manual copy-paste
- Gives candidates a clean, professional signing experience

### Candidate Status Update on Document Signature

Once a candidate signs their offer letter or any onboarding document in DocuSign, tray.ai automatically advances their stage in Greenhouse and logs the completed signature as an activity note. The ATS record stays accurate, and recruiters aren't checking DocuSign manually. Hiring managers see real-time status without logging into multiple systems.

- Keeps Greenhouse candidate records up to date automatically
- Provides a clear audit trail of when documents were signed
- Frees recruiters from manual status updates across platforms

### Multi-Signer Offer Approval Workflows

Many organizations require internal sign-off from finance, legal, or a department head before an offer goes out. With tray.ai, a Greenhouse offer approval can trigger a sequential DocuSign envelope that routes through internal signers first, then reaches the candidate automatically once all approvals are collected. Your internal process gets enforced without the manual coordination overhead.

- Enforces compliance with internal approval policies automatically
- Reduces time wasted chasing internal signers via email
- Produces a single signed document with all parties' signatures for your records

### Onboarding Document Packet Distribution

When a candidate moves to the hired stage in Greenhouse, tray.ai can trigger an entire onboarding document packet in DocuSign — NDAs, benefits enrollment forms, equipment agreements — sent as a single envelope or sequenced documents. Recruiting hands off to HR onboarding without a meeting or a manual step.

- Gets new hire documents completed before day one
- Ensures every hire receives the same standardized document set
- Reduces HR administrative burden during onboarding

### Declined Offer Tracking and Envelope Voiding

If a candidate declines an offer or is rejected in Greenhouse after a DocuSign envelope has already been sent, tray.ai can automatically void the outstanding envelope to prevent unwanted signings and keep your document trail clean. DocuSign records stay consistent with what's actually happening in the ATS.

- Prevents accidental signing of voided or outdated offers
- Keeps DocuSign and Greenhouse records consistent
- Reduces compliance risk from orphaned documents

### Signed Document Archiving to Candidate Profile

After a document is signed in DocuSign, tray.ai retrieves the completed PDF and attaches it directly to the candidate's profile in Greenhouse, along with a timestamped activity note. Your team never has to download and re-upload signed documents, and everything lives where your recruiters already work.

- Centralizes all signed documents in the Greenhouse candidate record
- Eliminates manual file downloading and uploading between systems
- Simplifies compliance audits with documents attached at the source

### Deadline-Based Offer Expiration Reminders

Offer letters have expiration windows, but tracking those deadlines manually is error-prone. tray.ai monitors open DocuSign envelopes tied to Greenhouse candidates and sends automated reminder emails through DocuSign — and alerts the recruiter in Greenhouse or Slack — when a signing deadline is approaching or has passed.

- Reduces lapsed offers from missed follow-ups
- Keeps candidates moving with timely, automated nudges
- Gives recruiters visibility into unsigned offers without manual tracking

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Mapping Candidate Data Accurately to DocuSign Templates

Greenhouse stores candidate and job data across multiple objects — applications, jobs, offers, and candidates — while DocuSign templates use specific field placeholders. Getting the right fields into the right places consistently is genuinely fiddly work when done by hand, and mistakes show up in signed documents where you least want them.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's visual data mapper lets teams define precise field mappings between Greenhouse API responses and DocuSign template tabs, with transformation logic for edge cases like null values, date formatting, and currency fields — so every envelope is populated correctly without manual checking.

### Reliably Matching DocuSign Envelopes Back to Greenhouse Candidates

When a DocuSign completion webhook fires, there's no native link back to a specific Greenhouse candidate ID unless that metadata was stored at envelope creation time. Without it, automatically updating the right candidate record is unreliable.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai embeds Greenhouse candidate and application IDs as custom metadata on DocuSign envelopes at creation time. When the completion webhook fires, tray.ai reads that metadata to route the update to the correct Greenhouse record, with no ambiguity.

### Handling Multi-Stage Approval Workflows Before Candidate Signing

Many organizations require sequential internal approvals from finance, legal, or senior leadership before a candidate receives an offer. Coordinating a multi-signer DocuSign routing order while keeping Greenhouse status accurate at each step is genuinely hard to manage manually.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's workflow branching and conditional logic can build multi-step signing sequences within DocuSign — defining routing order, signer roles, and conditions — while updating Greenhouse at each approval milestone, so recruiting ops always knows where an offer stands in the chain.

### Managing Document Versioning When Offers Are Amended

Offer details change after the initial envelope is sent more often than anyone wants to admit — compensation adjustments, start date changes, title corrections. That means voiding the original, issuing a new document, and somehow keeping both systems in sync. Without automation, it's a mess.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai detects offer amendment events in Greenhouse, automatically voids the previous DocuSign envelope, generates and sends a corrected envelope with updated data, and logs a version note on the candidate's Greenhouse profile — keeping document history clean and auditable.

### Ensuring Compliance with Document Retention Requirements

HR and legal teams are often required to retain signed offer letters and employment documents for several years. Counting on individuals to manually download and store documents from DocuSign creates real gaps in retention compliance, especially when people change roles or leave.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai automates retrieval and archiving of signed documents from DocuSign immediately upon completion, storing them in Greenhouse candidate profiles and optionally forwarding them to a connected storage system like Google Drive or SharePoint — so no signed document gets missed or misfiled.
