Three paths to advance your agreement processes
Learn three different paths to accelerate the digital transformation of your agreement processes.
You’ve made your way onto Docusign and you’re automating your legacy processes into new digital ones. You want to take the next step and customize your agreement workflows based on how your business operates, but you aren’t sure about the path to do so. You see the value, but do you have the developer or IT resources to do it? Does the benefit outweigh the cost? If this sounds familiar, there are a few sessions at the Docusign Developer Conference that you’ll want to build into your agenda.
Build Your First Docusign Integration
For those of you thinking about a homegrown solution, this session on Day 1 of the Developer Conference is perfect for you. We’ll walk through the basics of the Docusign Developer Center and touch on how to get started, from using the Quickstart to some of the top eSignature features. Recently, we ran a benchmark study on the Developer Center and the average time to build a first integration was just under 15 minutes. That’s right: after this session, you should be able to jump into the Developer Center, poke around, and create your first API-based workflow in less time than it would take to go pick up take-out for dinner.
Elements of an MVP and Beyond
As you’re building, it's easy to fall into the trap of including every want that your entire organization may have in your integration. This session will focus on what elements you need to include to create your minimum viable product, or MVP. Of course, done so with a Docusign lens, you’ll see what features to focus on, from tabs to basic envelopes. As you're ready to go beyond MVP and get into notifications, responsive signing or SMS delivery, we’ll talk you through those essentials of phase two of your Docusign Integration.
Connect Your Apps & Automate Workflows with Zapier
Working across Docusign and other systems of record is something that we know you need to do. That’s why we have over 350 pre-built integrations. But what do you do if you don’t have heavy developer resources and the integration you need doesn't exist yet? Zapier’s Zap Templates make for an easy no-code automation tool to customize how your applications work together. With click-based actions, you can pull together workflows such as connecting Docusign and Airtable together. So whatever your needs are, you can easily connect your applications with Zapier.
Designing a Reusable and Flexible Docusign Integration
Speaking of third-party integrations, what do you do if the work you need to do across your favorite applications isn't solved by the pre-built integration or the Zap template? General Networks, a Docusign Partner, will showcase building a custom Docusign and ServiceNow integration. Hear from Pamela Schwartz and Todd Withers discuss their integration that allows nondevelopers to configure use cases with a few points and clicks.
Building for Your Customized Business Processes with Docusign APIs
Another Docusign Partner, Informa Software, will also be at the Developer Conference to showcase how they pulled together the eSignature API and the CLM API to build a customized process to streamline the sales workflows, and generate contracts within seconds after a sales meeting.
Three paths
The beauty of the work from partners like General Networks and Informa Software is that they are available for you to leverage. So when you want to advance your Agreement processes and you aren't sure about how to do it, you have a variety of options:
Depending on what you want to build, you can prioritize your MVP and using the Docusign Developer Center, you can get up and running in less than an hour.
Leveraging a no-code automation platform can add functionality to your organization and let you work in more streamlined ways without the burden of heavy development work or resourcing.
Teaming up with a Docusign partner can let you outsource your development needs to a builder who can bridge the gap between the functionality you need and your ability to build it.
We look forward to seeing you at the Docusign Developer Conference to help you with all of your customized process needs. Even if you don't have developer resources or a coding background, you can still take your Agreements to the next level and continue your digital transformation.
