DocuSign: Automate agreements from send to sign to system
DocuSign manages eSignatures across envelopes, recipients, routing orders, templates, and PowerForms. Tray connects DocuSign to the rest of your stack so template merges, routing, and status changes trigger governed workflows, and agents can check status, collect approvals, or send documents automatically.

Use cases
DocuSign + Tray
DocuSign is where agreements are created, sent, signed, and tracked using envelopes, recipients, templates, and tabs. But the actions tied to agreement status, like provisioning, billing, onboarding, or compliance updates, often depend on other systems.
Tray extends DocuSign across your stack, connecting it to CRM, HRIS, ERP, identity, and any other system you rely on. Envelope events, recipient updates, and status changes can trigger orchestrated workflows, governed automations, and agents that take action across tools, while keeping DocuSign as the system of record for agreements.

Automations
Automations with DocuSign and Tray
Tray turns DocuSign activity into action across your stack. Envelope events or scheduled checks can trigger workflows that apply business rules, enforce approvals, and update records in connected systems. Completed PDFs and certificates are stored with full audit trails, while status updates and links reach the right teams automatically. These automations power the integrations and agent tools below.
Integrations
Integrations with DocuSign and Tray
Tray connects DocuSign to CRM, ERP, ITSM, storage, and identity systems so every agreement moves cleanly from request to completion. These integrations keep recipients, templates, and statuses in sync across your stack, turning each envelope into coordinated work with full visibility and control. The connections you define here power the automations above and the tools your agents use.
DocuSign integration capabilities
Integrate DocuSign with 700+ applications plus any system with an API using our HTTP connector. These domains mirror DocuSign’s API and how teams actually work in DocuSign.
Create, send, and track envelopes with governed routing and full visibility
- Launch from systems of record: Create envelopes from CRM or ERP data; set email subject, message, and initial status
- Routing control: Define sequential or parallel routing and recipient roles (signer, approver, CC)
- Status tracking: Use Connect or scheduled checks to monitor sent, delivered, completed, declined, or voided envelopes
- Write-back: Update external records with envelope IDs, completion times, and audit links
Agents
Build agents with DocuSign and Tray
Tray agents turn agreement workflows into guided, auditable actions. They ground on approved DocuSign context such as envelopes, recipients, and templates, then call governed tools to route, approve, or retrieve agreements automatically. Every outcome writes back to DocuSign and connected systems so teams can request, track, and complete documents without manual handoffs or status chasing.
Ground agents with the context they need to act accurately
- Scope: Access envelopes, templates, recipients, tabs, PowerForms, and Connect payloads you approve
- Freshness: Use Connect events where enabled, or last-modified polling windows to detect changes
Frequently Asked Questions

How does Tray authenticate to DocuSign?
Tray connects using OAuth 2.0 with either JWT or Authorization Code flow, depending on your security model. Connections are stored securely and scoped to your DocuSign account with least-privilege access.
Does Tray support DocuSign webhooks?
Yes. Tray supports DocuSign Connect where configured. If Connect isn’t available, workflows can poll for changes using the lastModifiedDateTime field to detect envelope updates.
Can we start in a safe environment?
Yes. Build and test in a DocuSign demo or sandbox account using a single template. Then promote to production with environment-specific connections and folder structures.
How does Tray handle rate limits and retries?
Workflows automatically apply backoff and idempotency patterns aligned with DocuSign’s API limits. Flows can queue and retry transient errors to maintain stability.
How do we ensure only approved documents are sent?
Use Tray’s RBAC and approval controls so only designated users can run flows tied to approved templates, brands, or PowerForms.
Where should completed documents live?
Store the combined PDF and certificate in your document management system or data lake, tagged with envelope metadata for retention and discovery.
FAQs
