UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RELEASE
EXISTING CUSTOMERS UPGRADING TO VERSION 13: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION
Each version of Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce has new features and enhancements that could provide key
improvements in your document workflows. We strongly recommend you upgrade to the latest release, as
EchoSign will be discontinuing support of older releases at a later time.
EchoSign for Salesforce version 13 can only be automatically upgraded from version 6 or later. If you have earlier
versions of EchoSign for Salesforce installed or need assistance on upgrades, please contact the Client Success
Manager assigned to your account or reach out to EchoSign Support.
To find the version you currently have installed, go to Setup / Deploy / Installed Packages

Important Upgrade Notes:
1) Please DO NOT un-install your existing EchoSign for Salesforce package. Uninstalling your EchoSign package
will result in losing all your EchoSign data in Salesforce.
2) If you have users in your Salesfoce Org that belong to multiple EchoSign accounts, please reach out to your
EchoSign client success manager or to EchoSign Support before upgrading.
3) Before upgrading your production account, EchoSign recommends testing the upgrade process in your
Salesforce Sandbox environment. Also, make sure your email in the Sandbox environment is a real email
address that you have access to in case you need to ever change the email for your EchoSign account and
verify your email address.
4) Keep in mind hosted agreements that were sent from older versions of Salesforce and are still out for
signature during the time of upgrade, will not be able to get the status updates when they are signed after the
upgrade. Please make sure agreements initiated as hosted agreements are signed before you upgrade.
5) Hosted agreements no longer need Sites in Salesforce. Sites are only required if you need to send file
transactions larger than 2.8MB. Keep in mind Professional Edition will not support sending large files because
Sites are not supported. If you previously set up Sites for hosted agreements and do not need to send larger
transactions, you can deactivate the EchoSign Callback Site.
6) There are several new EchoSign settings that were added version 13. Make sure you review them and
determine what you want to set for your Org. Below are the new settings but for a full listing of all the
EchoSign custom settings, visit this section of the guide:
a. Auto-Sync Group Mappings--- Check this box to automatically move the correct EchoSign groups
when their Salesforce user profiles are updated.
b. Disable Send Email Copies--- Check this box to hide the ‘Send email copies to:’ field on the send
agreement page.
c. Disable Knowledge Based Authentication--- Check this box to hide the Knowledge Based
Authentication (KBA) identity verification option for agreements. This is a signer identity verification
method that requires signers to provide and verify personal information to sign the document.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
Usage of this feature is limited and may incur added costs. Also, make sure your account send
settings on EchoSign.com have KBA enabled so you can use it in Salesforce.
d. Disable Web Identity Verification--- Check this box to hide the web identity verification option for
agreements. Web identity verification requires signers to verify their identity by signing into one of
the following sites: Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo!, or Microsoft Live. Also, make sure
your account send settings on EchoSign.com have web identity enabled so you can use it in
Salesforce.
e. Enable Mapping Error Notification--- Check this box to send email notifications to the data mapping
or merge mapping owner any time there are errors when the mappings are executed.
f. Enable Recipient Approver Role--- Check this box to enable the option to mark any recipient as an
Approver. Approvers review and approve the document but they are not required to sign it.
g. Enable Separate Signer Identity Methods--- Check this box to enable the option to select different
identity verification methods for recipients in your EchoSign account and those outside of your
EchoSign account. This applies to knowledge based authentication (KBA), web identity verification,
and password to sign. For example, you can require that a customer be verified with Knowledge
Based Identity before signing the document but require that your sales manager instead provide a
password to sign the document. If you don’t check this box, then all signers or approvers will verify
using the same method, as selected by the sender.
7) If you used Agreement Templates in v12 and want to take advantage of the new Agreement options
introduced in v13, please edit the Agreement Template layout and drag the fields to the layout. Go to Setup /
Create / Objects / Agreement Templates / Page Layout / (Edit) Agreement Template Layout. Add the
following new fields to the Agreement Security Options section:
a. External Signers Verification Method
b. Internal Signers Verification Method
Remove the ‘Password to Sign Agreement’ field used in v12 as the fields above replace it.
When done, the Agreement Template page ‘Agreement Security Options’ page should look like this:

Learn more about Agreement Templates.
8) The option to ‘Allow Signers to Suggest Revisions’ is no longer available in EchoSign.
9) For field values that were added to EchoSign for Salesforce version 13, Salesforce does not
enable them by default when upgrading from an older version to version 13. You will need to
add the following field values:
Object: Add File Attachment
Field: Attachment Type
Value to add: Quote Document from Master Quote
Object: Agreement Template
Field: Language
Values to add:
Chinese (Taiwan)

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
English (United Kingdom)
Korean (South Korea)
Polish (Poland)
Object: EchoSign File Mapping
Field: Source Type
Values to add:

Signed Agreement - Separate PDFs
Supporting Documents
Object: Agreement
Field: Agreement Status
Values to add:
Send in Progress
Approved
Waiting for Counter-Approval
Object: EchoSign Form Field Import
Field: Type
Value to add: Text Entry

SANDBOX TESTING
Important Sandbox Testing Notes:
When testing on a Salesforce Sandbox, you often are not using a real email address that you have access to. (e.g.
user@company.com.sandboxname) If so, we strongly recommend that you to change your Salesforce Sandbox
email to a real email address before you begin testing so that your EchoSign account tied to a real email address.
If not, it will be problematic if you want to change your email address later when you move to production because
your EchoSign account will be tied to an email address that does not exist and cannot be verified to make email
changes.

ECHOSIGN SUPPORT
For questions and additional assistance, please visit the Adobe EchoSign Support portal.
If you are running into issues configuring EchoSign for Salesforce or sending agreements, you can also contact
your designated Client Success Manager for assistance.

You first need to set up a Site for EchoSign Callback so that agreement updates can be pushed to Salesforce
in a timely manner.
Go to Setup / App Setup / Develop / Sites
Follow the Salesforce instructions if creating a Site for the first time. If you have not used Salesforce sites in
your Salesforce org, you will be required to register a Force.com domain name that will be used for all you
Salesforce sites in the account.
a. Note: Keep in mind that if you are registering a new domain name, it is recommended that you don’t
have a very long domain name or the secure web URL may exceed the 255 character limit that
EchoSign has for callback URLs.
Click the New button
Set the ‘Site Label’ value to: EchoSign Callback
Set the ‘Site Name’ value to: EchoSign_Callback
Set the ‘Site Contact’ value to a Salesforce user who will receive notifications about Sites. In most cases, this
would be the account admin.
Set the ‘Default Web Address’ value to EchoSignCallback.

17. Set the ‘Callback URL EchoSign to Salesforce Site’ value to the value of the ‘Secure Web Address’ you copied
from the site configuration above. Make sure the address prefix is ‘https’ and not ‘http’. Click ‘Save’ to save
the settings.
18. You also need to add the AgreementAttachmentService Apex class to the Site profile so it is visible. Go to
Develop / Sites / EchoSign Callback / Public Access Settings / Enable Apex Class Access. Find the Available
Apex Class called ‘echosign_dev1.AgreementAttachmentService’ and add it to the Enabled Apex Classes as
shown below.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

19. Also you need to add the IP ranges for public access settings in the Site so that it is restricted
properly to EchoSign IPs. If not, go to Develop / Sites / EchoSign Callback / Public Access
Settings / Login IP Ranges. Click the ‘New’ button and add both of these IP ranges:
a. 72.3.215.114 - 72.3.215.121
b. 166.78.79.112 - 166.78.79.127
When completed, the Login IP Ranges for the EchoSign Callback Site should be as follows:

ECHOSIGN DATA MAPPINGS --- PUSH SIGNER DATA AND FILES TO SALESFORCE
RECORDS
EchoSign form field data mapping lets you define how EchoSign will update Salesforce.com objects with data it
captures from signers. For example, you can update a signer’s contact record in Salesforce.com with the address
and phone number they provided when completing and signing your document. Additionally, you can also push
back the EchoSign signed agreement, audit trail, and any uploaded supporting documents from recipients into
Salesforce objects by setting up file mappings.
If you choose not to use this feature, skip this section.

ABOUT ECHOSIGN FORM FIELD DATA MAPPINGS
EchoSign Data Mappings update Salesforce objects when an EchoSign agreement is signed. Each Data Mapping is
set up ahead of time and includes data mapping rules. Each data mapping rule defines the data source and the
target Salesforce field it needs to update.
A data source for a mapping can be an EchoSign form field, a specific constant value or a value from an EchoSign
Agreement Field. The target for each data mapping item may be any field in any Salesforce object that can be
referenced from the EchoSign Agreement.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
For example, the mapping below updates the signer’s first and last name (as entered by the signer) in the Contact
object. It also updates the opportunity close date with the Agreement’s signed date and the signed agreement
and audit trail.

CREATING AN ECHOSIGN FORM FIELD DATA MAPPING (IMPROVED!)
To create a new EchoSign Data Mapping, follow the steps below:
1.
2.
3.

Select ‘EchoSign’ on the menu at the top right of the screen
Click the ‘EchoSign Data Mappings’ tab
Click ‘New’

Type a name for the mapping and decide whether you would like it to be the default mapping. If you check
‘Default Data Mapping?’, the mapping will execute by default after your agreements are signed.

There are a couple ways to specify the EchoSign agreement fields for the ‘Source Value’ either type in the
field name or import a list of selectable fields from an existing document.
If you want to import a list of EchoSign form field names to map data from by selecting an existing agreement
that was sent for signature and signed. You may import fields from multiple agreements to add additional
fields. Fields with duplicate names will not be imported twice.
Note: If you do not have any custom EchoSign fields in the document to import from, you will not be
able to import the standard default EchoSign fields that come with each signed agreement. (e.g. signed (date),
email, first, last, title, and company)
•

Select the agreement you would like to import fields from.

Click ‘Import Form Fields’ button
The number of fields imported will be displayed

You can add mapping rules to update fields in the EchoSign Agreement object. You can create a mapping to
any field (including custom fields).
Click ‘Add Mapping’

Define mapping rules through the following selections:
• Source Type --- ‘EchoSign Form Field’, ‘Constant’, ‘Agreement Field’
• Source Value --- Depending on the Source type, you will see the following:
• ‘EchoSign Form Field’ --- Select an EchoSign Form Field or input in a specific field name. Click on
the and icons to switch between a text input field and a selectable dropdown displaying
the available and imported form field values.

•
•
•
•

•
‘Constant’ --- Type a specific value
• ‘Agreement Field’ --- Select an EchoSign Agreement Field
Target Salesforce Field --- Select a target Salesforce field where the Source Value will be copied to after
the agreement is signed
Do Not Overwrite Existing --- If checked, then if a value already exists in the target Salesforce field, do not
overwrite the value using this mapping rule.
Do Not Write Empty - If checked, then if the source value from the EchoSign agreement is empty, do not
write the empty value into the target Salesforce field using this mapping rule.
Disable --- If checked, this row in the mapping will not execute.

You can add mapping rules to any Salesforce object that is associated to the EchoSign Agreement object
(through one or more lookup relationships).
10. To do this, click ‘Select a related object’

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

11. Select any object referenced from the Agreement object

12. If this is the object you need, click the ‘Add Object’ button. If the object you need is referenced from the
current object, select it from the list of objects that appears in the next dropdown menu.

13. After you have selected the correct object, click the ‘Add Object’ button. A new group of mapping items will
appear, allowing you to create data mapping rules for the object you selected.

2.

To map the EchoSign signed agreement or audit trial to the selected target Salesforce object, click ‘Add File
Mapping.’
Select from one of the following Source Types:
a. Signed Agreement --- Merged PDF:
i. If you send multiple documents for signature in a single transaction, this option will
push the signed documents back to the Salesforce object record as a single merged
PDF.
b. Signed Agreement --- Separate PDFs:
i. If you send multiple documents for signature in a single transaction, this option will
push the signed documents back to the Salesforce object record as separate PDFs.
c. Audit Trail
i. This pushes back the audit trail in PDF format back to the Salesforce object record.
d. Supporting Documents
i. This pushes back any supporting documents that are uploaded by the signers back to
the Salesforce object record.
If you select the Target Type ‘Add a reference link to the file’, that will provide the URL to get the signed
agreement PDF. You will need to select the target field where the URL will be copied.
Note: Adding a reference link for the audit trail or supporting documents is not supported. You can
attach the audit trail PDF or supporting documents to the Salesforce object record. Also, the reference link
can only be mapped into a text based field (e.g. string, picklist)
If you select ‘Attach file directly to object’, that will attach the PDF document directly to the object you are
mapping to if an attachment list is available for that object.
attachments so do not map files to those objects.

Note: Not all objects (e.g. Users) support file

Click ‘Save’ to save the mapping

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

USING DEFAULT AND MULTIPLE DATA MAPPINGS
You may create as many data mappings as necessary, one of which may be defined as the default mapping that
will be executed whenever an agreement’s status changes to ‘Signed’. Only one mapping can be a default
mapping.
You may also explicitly specify which mapping you’d like to use for an agreement by referencing it in the
Agreement’s ‘Data Mapping’ (echosign_dev1__Process_Template__c) field. You can use a Salesforce workflow or
trigger to run custom business logic to determine which template to use. Please note that you do not need to set
that field to point to the default mapping --- the default mapping would be executed if this field were left empty.
You may also execute a mapping before or after the Agreement status changes to ‘Signed’ (e.g. execute the
mapping after the first signer signed it) by setting the ‘Trigger Data Mapping’
(echosign_dev1__Trigger_Process_Template__c) checkbox. You may use a Salesforce workflow or trigger to run
any custom business logic to determine when to execute a Data Mapping.
In addition, you can associate a data mapping to an agreement template, which can also let you set up other
default fields and options for your agreements. See Agreement Templates section for more information.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Salesforce fields have validation rules that may cause a mapping to fail. For example, if you map an EchoSign text
field to a Salesforce email field validation may fail if the content of the field is not a valid email address.
Please make sure to use EchoSign Form Field validation rules where possible to ensure data entered by signers
can be pushed into Salesforce. EchoSign standard PDF form fields validation rules from PDF documents and
allows you to create validation rules when using EchoSign Text Tags - See this tutorial for more information.
If a mapping fails for some reason, it logs the error message in the ‘Data Mapping Error’
(echosign_dev1__Data_Mapping_Error__c ) field on the EchoSign Agreement object. You may expose this field
on the agreement page layout or create a simple report in SalesForce to find agreements where mapping errors
had occurred. In additional data mapping errors will be sent to the owner of the data mapping by email. Go to
Setup / Develop / Custom Settings (EchoSign) to enable or disable the email notification using the setting called
‘Enable Mapping Error Notification’. To enable the ‘Data Mapping Error’ field, follow the steps here and drag the
field to the page layout.

ECHOSIGN MERGE MAPPINGS --- GENERATE DOCUMENTS WITH SALESFORCE DATA
EchoSign Merge Mappings give you the ability to merge field data from Salesforce into your documents fields
before sending them out for signature.
For example, you can populate a Lead’s address and phone number from a Salesforce record automatically into
the agreement before it is sent to the Lead for signature.
If you choose not to use this feature, skip this section.

ABOUT ECHOSIGN MERGE MAPPINGS
A data source type for a merge mapping can be a specific constant value or a value from a Salesforce object field
that can be referenced from the EchoSign Agreement. The target for each merge mapping item is a designated
field from an EchoSign agreement.
For example, the mapping below updates the EchoSign document fields for first name and last name with the
Salesforce Recipient (Lead) field data. It also fills in the company field in the document with the value ‘Acme
Corporation’.

CREATING AN ECHOSIGN MERGE MAPPING (IMPROVED!)
To create a new EchoSign Merge Mapping, follow the steps below:
1.
2.
3.

Select ‘EchoSign’ on the menu at the top right of the screen
Click the ‘EchoSign Merge Mappings’ tab
Click ‘New’

Type a name for the mapping and decide whether you’d like it to be the default mapping. If you check
‘Default Merge Mapping?,’ the mapping will execute by default when sending an agreement for signature.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
5.

To get a list of EchoSign form field names you can map data from, select an existing agreement that was sent
for signature and signed. You may import fields from additional agreements to add additional fields. Fields
with duplicate names will not be imported twice.
Select the agreement you would like to import fields from.

7.
8.

Click the ‘Import Form Fields’ button
The number of fields imported will be displayed

You can add mapping rules to merge data into EchoSign documents. You can create a mapping from fields
that can be referenced from the EchoSign Agreement object (including custom fields).
10. Click ‘Add Field Mapping’

11. Define mapping rules through the following selections:
o Target EchoSign Document Field --- Select an EchoSign Form Field or input in a specific field name. Click
on the and icons to switch between a text input field and a selectable dropdown displaying the
available and imported form field values.

o
o

Source Type --- ‘Salesforce Object Field’ or ‘Constant’
Source Value --- Depending on the Source type, you will see the following:
o ‘Salesforce Object Field’ --- When you then click on ‘Select Field’, this will open a window for you
to select the Salesforce source object field.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
o ‘Constant’ --- Type a specific value
o Disable --- If checked, this mapping row will not execute.
12. Click ‘Save’ to save the mapping.

Note: There are Merge Mapping settings that define how file attachments are handled. By default, the
original attached document (e.g. a NDA template) will be removed and the merged document will be attached to
the agreement record once the agreement is sent. If you want to change the default values, go to the Merge
Mapping Settings section of this document for more information.

USING DEFAULT AND MULTIPLE MERGE MAPPINGS
You may create as many Merge Mappings as necessary, one of which may be defined as the default mapping that
will be executed whenever an agreement is sent for signature. Only one mapping can be a default mapping.
You may also explicitly specify which merge mapping you’d like to use for an agreement by referencing it in the
Agreement’s ‘Merge Mapping’ (echosign_dev1__Merge_Mapping__c) field. You may use a Salesforce workflow
or trigger to run any custom business logic to determine which template to use. Please note that you do not need
to set that field to point to the default mapping --- the default mapping would be executed if this field is left empty.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Salesforce fields have validation rules that may cause a mapping to fail. For example, if you map Salesforce email
field to an EchoSign text field it may fail if the content of the field is not a valid email address.
If a mapping fails for some reason, it logs the error message in the ‘Merge Mapping Error’
(echosign_dev1__Merge_Mapping_Error__c) field on the EchoSign Agreement object. You may expose this field
on the agreement page layout or create a simple report in SalesForce to find agreements where mapping errors
had occurred. In additional data mapping errors will be sent to the owner of the data mapping by email. Go to
Setup / Develop / Custom Settings (EchoSign) to enable or disable the email notification using the setting called
‘Enable Mapping Error Notification’. To enable the ‘Merge Mapping Error’ field, follow the steps here and drag the
field to the page layout.
In addition, you can associate a merge mapping to an agreement template, which can also let you set up other
default fields and options for your agreements. See Agreement Templates section for more information.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

ECHOSIGN AGREEMENT TEMPLATES AND ‘SEND TO ECHOSIGN’ BUTTON
EchoSign Agreement Templates offer an easy way to set up many default values and settings for your agreements
ahead of time. You can link an agreement template also to a ‘Send to EchoSign’ button.
If you choose not to use this feature, skip this section.

ABOUT AGREEMENT TEMPLATES
This includes pre-defining agreement fields including name, message, language, signature type, expiration dates,
and security options. Also, you can associate a particular data mapping, merge mapping, and object (Account,
Opportunity, or Contract) to the agreement template. Additionally, you can pre-set the recipient definitions, map
fields to agreement fields, and pre-define the file attachments.
In addition, you can also set up a ‘Send to EchoSign’ button that appears on a related object record (e.g.
Opportunity) so that it links to an agreement template by default. Clicking on the button would generate an
agreement using an agreement template.

CREATING AN AGREEMENT TEMPLATE (IMPROVED!)
To create a new EchoSign Agreement Template, follow the steps below:
•
•
•

Select ‘EchoSign’ on the menu at the top right of the screen
Click the ‘Agreement Templates’ tab
Click ‘New’

•

Enter a name for the agreement template and then you can also define the fields and options you want to set
up for your template.

DEFINE TEMPLATE INFORMATION

•

Master Object Type - The Master Object Type is the name of the Salesforce object that you want to use as a
master reference for some of the optional definitions in the agreement template. For example, you can
define Recipients, Field Mappings, or Attachments for the agreement that look up to fields and data in the
Master Object or data from lookup objects. Examples of a Master Object include ‘Opportunity’, ‘Lead’, and
‘Account’. If you have a Master Object defined in the Agreement Template, you should initiate the agreement
from a ‘Send to EchoSign’ button on the Master Object. See this section for more information about how to
enable a default button or create new ‘Send to EchoSign’ buttons.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
•

•

Default - Decide if you want to set this as the Default agreement template for your new agreements. You can
also define a specific agreement template to associate with other agreements, which can override the default
agreement template. For example, you can create a custom ‘Send to EchoSign’ button for the Account object
that is associated with a specific agreement template. See this section for more information about how to
create custom buttons.
Auto Send - If you have automated workflows that you want to use to trigger the sending of agreements or if
you would like to automatically send an agreement after a user hits a ‘Send to EchoSign’ button from a
Salesforce record, then you can check the ‘Auto Send’ box. For ‘Auto Send’ to work, you need to have at least
one recipient and one attachment defined in the agreement template.

DEFINE AGREEMENT INFORMATION

•

Enter an Agreement Name. Optionally, add a message and select a signature type and recipient language.

•

Note: Keep in mind that for text fields in the agreement template (e.g. Agreement Name, Message, etc.),
you can optionally use Salesforce variables as part of the definition to dynamically generate this data for the
agreement. For example, this is beneficial if you want to customize the agreement name and message to
recipients each time the agreement is generated.

Example 1:
o
o
o

Master Object: Opportunity
Agreement Name: Acme Corp Agreement - {!Name}
Message:
Here is the estimate for:
Account: {!Account.Name}
Amount: {!Amount}
Please sign the attached agreement.
Thanks, {!Owner.Name}

The following is the result when the Agreement gets generated from a specific Opportunity:

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

Example 2: Custom Object as Master Object
Custom Lookup Field on the Opportunity: Student__c
Agreement Template Definition: AgreementTemplateProcess AgreementTemplateProcess
o
o
o

Master Object: Student__c
Agreement Name: Student Agreement - {!Name}
Message:
Hello {!Student__r.Student_Name__c}
Please sign the attached application.
Thanks, {!Account.Owner.Name}

DEFINE AGREEMENT OPTIONS

•

Select from a set of agreement options that are available including:
o Email Copy To
o Days Until Expiration
o Sender Signature Order
o Send On Behalf Of
o Enable Hosted Signing
o Enable Preview and Position Fields
o Use Fax Number
o Automatic Reminders

Note: For any text fields, you can optionally use Salesforce variables such as {!Id} or {!Account.Name} that
reference the Master Object defined in the Agreement template. For example, you can type in {!Owner.Email} for
the ‘Email Copy to’ or {!OwnerId} for the ‘Send On Behalf Of’ field. If the Master Object was ‘Opportunity’, then

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
the variable {!OwnerId} would represent the owner of the Opportunity and the variable {!Owner.Email} would
represent the email of the owner of the Opportunity. If you are using the ‘Send on Behalf of’ functionality, make
sure to enable it first by following these instructions.
Note: The option ‘Allow Signers to Suggest Revisions’ is no longer available in EchoSign so you can remove the
deprecated field from the layout.

DEFINE SECURITY OPTIONS

•

Optionally, choose the Signer Verification Method for signers in your EchoSign account and signers
outside of your EchoSign account:
o Password to sign agreement
o Knowledge based authentication
o Web identity authentication
Optionally, assign a password to open the PDF of the signed agreement.

DEFINE MAPPING SETTINGS

•

If you have a merge mapping or data mapping that you want to automatically run with agreements using
this agreement template, then specify the mappings in this section.

DEFINE REFERENCED OBJECTS

•

Automatically associate an Account, Opportunity, or Contract to this agreement template by typing in the
specific ID or entering a Salesforce variable such as {!Id}. This will allow your Agreements list in the
referenced object to contain agreements sent with this agreement template.

o User
o Email
Select the Recipient Role:
o Signer
o Approver
If you selected ‘Predefine the Recipient’, then simply select the recipient in the next screen.
If you selected ‘Look Up Based on Master Object Field’, then the recipient will be looked up at the time
the agreement is generated based on the master object you set up in this agreement template. For
example, the master object may be ‘Opportunity’. In the next screen, select the source field from the
Master Object (e.g. Opportunity) that will be used to look up the recipient. For example, you can
populate the Recipient field with the User who created the Opportunity or who last updated the
Opportunity.
(NEW!) If you selected ‘Opportunity Primary Contact Role’, then the recipient will be looked up at the
time the agreement is generated based on the master object you set up in this agreement template. In
this case, ‘Opportunity’ should be entered as the master object. If used, the primary contact in the
Opportunity will be used as a recipient in the agreement.
(NEW!) If you selected ‘Opportunity Contact Role’, then the recipient will be looked up at the time the
agreement is generated based on the master object you set up in this agreement template. In this case,
‘Opportunity’ should be entered as the master object. In the next screen, select the Opportunity Contact
Role that will be used to select the contact as the recipient in the agreement. For example, you can
populate the Recipient field with the Contact who has the Decision Maker role for the Opportunity.
You can also set up placeholder recipients that have a Recipient Type but are not specifically defined
until the sender defines the specific recipient when the agreement is generated. You do that by leaving
Step 2 blank.

step.
If you selected ‘Document from Content’, then simply select from the Salesforce Content documents in
the next step.
If you selected ‘Document from Master Object’, then the document will be looked up at the time the
agreement is generated based on the master object you set up in this agreement template. For example,
the master object may be ‘Opportunity’. In the next screen, select the criteria by which your file
attachment will be determined:
o File Selection from Master Object (e.g. Opportunity)
 Latest Document
 Oldest Document
 All Documents
o Selection Determined By:
 Last Modified Date
 Created Date
(NEW!) If you selected ‘Quote Document from Master Quote, then the document will be looked up at the
time the agreement is generated based on the master object you set up in this agreement template. In
this case ‘Quote’ is the master object that you need to enter for this agreement template. When you do
this the quote PDF(s) generated from the Opportunity will be used as the file attachment(s). In the next
screen, select the criteria by which your file attachment will be determined:
o File Selection from Master Object (e.g. Opportunity)
 Latest Document
 Oldest Document
 All Documents
o Selection Determined By:

•
•
•

•

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

•

 Last Modified Date
 Created Date
When you have a master object such ‘Quote’, you will need to set up a custom ‘Send to EchoSign’ button
on the Quote object so that the agreement template documents you specified would be attached
accordingly.

MAP DATA INTO AGREEMENT FIELDS

‘SEND TO ECHOSIGN’ BUTTON (IMPROVED!)
The ‘Send to EchoSign’ button is associated with the default agreement template or with any specific agreement
template that you configure. By default the EchoSign for Salesforce integration includes a ‘Send to EchoSign’
button that you can add to your Opportunity, Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, or Contract page layouts. You
can also create multiple custom ‘Send to EchoSign’ buttons that can be added to other objects and associated
with different agreement templates.
Here is an example for the Opportunity object:
•
•
•

To enable the ‘Send to EchoSign’ button for the Opportunity object, go to Setup / Customize / Opportunities /
Page Layouts.
Click on Edit ‘Opportunity Layout’
Drag the Button ‘Send to EchoSign’ from the top section to the ‘Custom Buttons’ box in the Opportunity
Detail section.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

•
•
•

•

To create additional custom ‘Send to EchoSign’ buttons for other objects, go to the Setup / Customize /
(Object) / Buttons and Links. You can label the button to meet your needs.
Click ‘New’ under ‘Custom Buttons and Links’
You can copy what was set up for the default Opportunity button (see screenshot below) but will need to
replace the Object ID variable at the end of the path with the Object ID variable that you want to add:
/apex/echosign_dev1__AgreementTemplateProcess?masterid={!Opportunity.Id}
(Optional) Associate a specific Agreement Template to button:
o If you want to associate a specific Agreement Template for a specific ‘Send to EchoSign’ button, then
the button path should be:
/apex/echosign_dev1__AgreementTemplateProcess?masterid={!Object.Id}&templateId=a01U0000
004pImMwhere templateId should be set to the specific ID of the agreement template that is to be
used. If this value is not set, then the default agreement template will be used. You can get the
templateId from the URL of the agreement template page:

(Optional) After button is clicked, send the user to a different page than the agreement page using retURL
parameter.
o Example: You can define a ‘Send to EchoSign’ button so that when clicked, it will bring
the user to a specified URL or back to the record instead of going to the Agreement
page. To define this button, use this string as an example:
 /apex/echosign_dev1__AgreementTemplateProcess?masterid={!Opportunity
.Id}&retURL=/{!Opportunity.Id}

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
•

•
•

(Optional) After button is clicked, trigger an onLoadAction for ‘Send’
o Example: You can define a ‘Send to EchoSign’ button so that when clicked, it will bring
the user to the agreement page and after the page loads, the agreement will be ‘Sent’
without additional user intervention. To define this button, use this string as an
example:
 /apex/echosign_dev1__AgreementTemplateProcess?masterid={!Opportunity
.Id}&onloadAction=Send
 To learn more about onLoadActions, go to this section.
 Alternatively, you can map the ‘Send’ value to the ‘On Load Action (Picklist)’
field on the Agreement record. You can define this mapping in the
Agreement Templates section called ‘Map Date to Agreement Fields’.
Click ‘Save’.
Then go to the Page Layout for that object and add the ‘Send to EchoSign’ button to the page similar to the
steps mentioned above for the Opportunity example.

ECHOSIGN GROUP MAPPINGS --- MOVE USERS TO SPECIFIC ECHOSIGN GROUPS (NEW!)
If you choose not to use this feature, skip this section.
EchoSign for Salesforce supports the ability to easily synchronize users in specific Salesforce profiles to EchoSign
groups. EchoSign groups are often used by companies to group users in the EchoSign account into different areas.
(e.g. Sales US, Sales Europe, Sales Asia Pacific) By having different groups, you can create different settings in
EchoSign or generate reports separately by group. If you don’t have multiple EchoSign groups, you can skip this
section since all of your users will belong to the Default group.
In Salesforce, you can set up mappings between Salesforce profiles and EchoSign groups by using the EchoSign
Group Mappings page. You can also create new EchoSign groups directly within Salesforce.

MOVE USERS TO DIFFERENT ECHOSIGN GROUPS
Follow these steps to set up Group Mappings and move users to their respective EchoSign groups:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Create the mappings between a Salesforce profile to a EchoSign group. You can map multiple
Salesforce profiles to a single EchoSign group.
Check the ‘Sync Selection’ box for any mapping row that you would like to Sync.
Click the ‘Save’ button to save the mappings or ‘Cancel’ to discard the changes.
To move any users to their respective EchoSign groups, click on the ‘Sync Users’ button on the
group mappings page. You will be first be shown a preview of users that will be moved before
you confirm the synchronization by clicking on ‘Sync Users’ in the preview window.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
5.
6.

After the sync, you will be shown a confirmation of which users were moved successfully.
Note that any Salesforce user in these profiles, who are not EchoSign users, will not be affected
by this synchronization. Also, any new user created when using EchoSign for Salesforce will be
created automatically into the correct group mapping based on the saved mappings that have
been checked for Sync Selection.

AUTO-SYNC USERS WHEN SALESFORCE PROFILE CHANGES
There is an optional setting you can turn on to automatically sync users when their Salesforce profile has changed
from one profile to another profile. Go to Setup / Develop / Custom Settings / (Manage) EchoSign Settings. Click
the ‘Edit’ button and check the box called ‘Auto-Sync Group Mappings’. This will enable the feature that will
move the users automatically when their profile changes. (e.g. from Marketing profile to Sales profile) The
synchronization will move the user to the correct EchoSign group based on the mappings saved and selected on
the Group Mappings page.

If you don’t have this auto-sync setting turned on and you would like to manually sync a user’s group from the
User record, you can add a link on the User page layout which allows you to manually force the synchronization
to move a single user to the correct EchoSign group based on the mappings saved and selected on the Group
Mappings page.
To add this sync link on the User page layout, follow these instructions:
•
•

Go to Setup / Customize / Users / Page Layouts and click the ‘Edit’ button.
Click on Custom Links and drag the ‘Sync EchoSign User’ link from the top of the page to
the ‘Custom Links’ section of the page. Click the ‘Save’ button.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

After adding this link, it will appear on every User detail page so that a manual sync of a single user can be done
when the link is clicked on. To move users in bulk, use the EchoSign Group Mappings page to sync users.

UPDATING SALESFORCE WITH AGREEMENTS SENT WITH THE ECHOSIGN API,
WIDGETS, OR FROM ECHOSIGN.COM (PUSH AGREEMENTS)
You can use EchoSign’s web services API to send agreements for signature or create Widgets and embed them on
your website and have all those agreements pushed and created in Salesforce.com just as if they were sent from
Salesforce.com. You can also send agreements via the EchoSign.com web application and have them all pushed
back to Salesforce.
Note: This feature is not supported in Salesforce Professional Edition.
To enable this scenario, follow the following steps:
•
•
•

If you have not configured the EchoSign Callback Site earlier, you will need to create a Salesforce Site to use
this functionality (see instructions to Configure Sites).
Next, add the ‘EchoSignAgreementPushCallback’ Visual Force page to the site. Go to Setup / Develop / Sites
Click the Site name

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
•

Under ‘Site Visual Force Pages’ click ‘Edit’

•

Select ‘echosign_dev1.EchoSignAgreementPushCallback’ and click ‘Add’

•

Click ‘Save’

•

If you would like all of the agreements in your account that were sent outside of EchoSign to be created
and pushed into Salesforce, follow these instructions:
o Copy the secure URL address from the EchoSign Callback Site you created and append
‘/echosign_dev1__EchoSignAgreementPushCallback’ to compose the callback URL. Contact
EchoSign Support (echosign@support.com) and provide them with your callback URL to set as your
EchoSign account’s default callback URL. For example: If your site address is ‘https://echov11developer-edition.na12.force.com/EchoSignCallback’, the callback URL will be ‘https://echov11developeredition.na12.force.com/EchoSignCallback/echosign_dev1__EchoSignAgreementPushCallback‘
o EchoSign Support should also enter your EchoSign userID for the default callback URL API user
setting. All accounts using Salesforce should also have their accounts set to append the document
key to the callback URL.

•

If you are sending agreements via the API, follow these instructions:
o Copy the secure URL address from the EchoSign Callback Site you created and append
‘/echosign_dev1__EchoSignAgreementPushCallback’ to create the callback URL to be used in the
EchoSign API.
o For example: If your site address is ‘https://echov11-developeredition.na12.force.com/EchoSignCallback’,
the URL you should use in the EchoSign API will be ‘https://echov11-developeredition.na12.force.com/EchoSignCallback/echosign_dev1__EchoSignAgreementPushCallback‘

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

•

When sending an agreement or creating a widget through the API you will need to provide a
callback URL (see https://secure.echosign.com/redirect/latestApiMethods and reference the API
parameter ‘CallbackInfo’.)
Also make sure that your account settings are set to append the document key to the callback URL
that should be the default for Salesforce customers using EchoSign. For any issues, contact Adobe
EchoSign support at support@echosign.com.

Additionally, go to Push Mappings settings to define preferences for how records are created when
agreements are pushed to Salesforce.

ADDING CUSTOM FIELDS AND RELATED OBJECTS TO THE AGREEMENT PAGE
This section addresses customizing the default ‘EchoSign Agreement Advanced’ page. These customizations are
not available when using the ‘EchoSign Agreement Basic’ page. See Select EchoSign Agreements Page Style for
more information.

ADDING CUSTOM FIELDS
Using Field Sets, you can add fields you would like to view and edit when viewing the agreement page. You may
use the EchoSign built-in field set and then add one or more fields from the Agreement Object that will be
displayed on the agreement page.
EchoSign already has a built-in field set you can use. Follow the steps below to customize it:
•

Go to Setup / Create / Objects

•

Click on ‘Agreement’

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
•

Mouse over ‘Field Sets (Beta)’ at the top and the click ‘Edit’

•

Select the field you want to add and drag it into the ‘In the Field Set’ rectangle. Notice that EchoSign only
supports fields from the Agreement object and not from other objects.

•
•

Click ‘Save’
When you look at the agreement, a new section will appear with the fields you have selected:

ADD RELATED OBJECTS TO THE AGREEMENT PAGE
You may associate EchoSign Agreements with Salesforce objects of your choosing (standard or custom objects).
This enables you to create Agreements that are linked to those objects and that show all the Agreements that
relate to an object on that object’s page. By default, it is related to Opportunity and Account.
The instructions below describe how to associate Agreements with a Quote object, but they can be applied to any
other object in your Salesforce Organization.

ADVANCED SIGNER AUTHENTICATION METHODS (NEW!)
When signers receive documents to sign or approve, you can add an additional layer of authentication before
they can view the document. Often times, adding a password to sign the agreement is sufficient but in other
cases, more advanced verification methods may be desired.
EchoSign for Salesforce supports 3 signer verification methods:
• (New!) Knowledge Based Authentication --- Answer questions to verify signer identity
• (New!) Web Identity Authentication--- sign in with Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, etc. before
signing
• Password to sign agreement
You can apply these authentication methods for internal or external signers or all signers.
• E.g. External signers need verify their identity using Knowledge Based Authentication while internal

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
signers need to verify using a password

To take advantage of this functionality, make sure you have the EchoSign Custom Settings set for knowledge
based authentication and web identity.
•

•

Disable Knowledge Based Authentication--- Check this box to hide the Knowledge Based Authentication
(KBA) identity verification option for agreements. This is a signer identity verification method that
requires signers to provide and verify personal information to sign the document. Usage of this feature is
limited and may incur added costs. Also, make sure your account send settings on EchoSign.com have
KBA enabled so you can use it in Salesforce.
Disable Web Identity--- Check this box to hide the web identity verification option for agreements. Web
identity verification requires signers to verify their identity by signing into one of the following sites:
Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo!, or Microsoft Live. Also, make sure your account send
settings on EchoSign.com have web identity enabled so you can use it in Salesforce.
Enable Separate Signer Identity Methods --- Check this box to enable the option to select different
identity verification methods for recipients in your EchoSign account and those outside of your EchoSign
account. For example, you can require that a customer be verified with Knowledge Based Identity before
signing the document but require that your sales manager instead provide a password to sign the
document. If you don’t check this box, then all signers or approvers will verify using the same method, as
selected by the sender.

KNOWLEDGE BASED AUTHENTICATION (KBA)
•

Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) requires signers and approvers to prove their identity by
answering questions taken from hundreds of public and commercial databases. This functionality is
powered by RSA and only available in the United States.

•

When verified, the name associated with the signature is taken from the user’s authenticated name and
cannot be changed at the time of signing. The audit trail captures identity verification details.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
•

KBA usage is limited per account, per month. Contact Sales for more information.

WEB IDENTITY VERIFICATION
•

Web identity verification requires signers and approvers to prove their identity by authenticating through
a 3rd party Web service: Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Microsoft Live, Yahoo!, Twitter

AUTOMATION AND BACKGROUND ACTIONS
Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce has the ability to turn on background actions for agreements to automate
workflows. This includes: sending agreements, sending reminders, updating agreement status, deleting
agreements or canceling agreements.

BACKGROUND ACTIONS
•

•

Through automatic workflows or triggers, Salesforce can automatically send a document for signature
without additional user intervention. You can also set up trigger or workflows to send reminders and to
delete, cancel, or update agreements automatically. To do so, you may need to allow users or workflows
to send on behalf of another user.
Background actions are enabled via an Agreement picklist field called ‘Background Actions’. When the
field switches from one value to another, the action is triggered. Make sure to trigger actions that are
only allowed for the status of the Agreement. (E.g. you cannot send a reminder for an agreement that is
already in the cancelled status.) Make sure the EchoSign API key for your account is set in Salesforce via
the EchoSign Admin tab.
Also, you can enable the ‘Send to EchoSign’ button to automatically send agreements using a predefined
Agreement Template without requiring user to view the agreement page first. This is achieved by
checking the box ‘Auto Send’ on the Agreement Template. Go to the Agreement Templates section of
this customization guide for more information.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ENABLE ‘SEND ON BEHALF OF’ FUNCTIONALITY
You may want to enable the ‘Send on Behalf of’ functionality if there are cases when someone in your
Salesforce org is required to send agreements on behalf of another person. Follow the steps below to ensure
that this is set up properly.
1.
2.

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

The ability to send on behalf of another user works only on EchoSign for Salesforce v11.7
or later.
This feature works for any agreement sending including background sending, which is
triggered through an update of the Agreement field 'Background Actions' or through the
‘Auto Send’ option in Agreement Templates. You can also set a lookup to a user in an
Agreement Template to ‘Send on Behalf of’ so that it is automatically populated when the
agreement is generated.
The EchoSign API key for the EchoSign account needs to be set in Salesforce on the
EchoSign Admin page. The user you are sending on behalf of must be a user under the
same account as the API key that was associated with your Salesforce instance.
In EchoSign Settings, make sure the ‘Allow Sending on Behalf of Others’ of checkbox is
checked. To set this up, go to Setup / Develop / Custom Settings / EchoSign Settings /
‘Edit’.
In the User record layout, add the field ‘EchoSign --- Allow Sending as Other Users’ by
dragging it to the layout. Go to Setup / Customize / Users / Page Layouts / ‘Edit’.
For the specific user that you want to send on behalf of, you need to check the box on his
or her User record called ‘EchoSign --- Allow Sending as Other Users’
In the Agreement page layout, add the field call ‘Send On Behalf Of’ by going to Setup /
Create / Objects / Agreement / Field Sets (BETA) / ‘Edit’. Drag the field into the Field Set.
When setting up the agreement to send, the field ‘Send on Behalf of’ needs to be

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
populated with the user that has allowed other users to send on their behalf.

ONLOADACTIONS (NEW!)
Salesforce can automatically trigger actions via the onLoadAction URL parameter supported by EchoSign for the
Agreement button actions: Send, Remind, Delete, Cancel, Update, and View. The URL parameter will respect the
Toolbar Settings set by the administrator so that only those that are enabled will be available.
Example of URLs with onLoadAction:
• Send: Make sure you have an agreement with status Draft in your account.
o https://echosigndev1.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/EchoSignAgreementAdvanced?id=[agreementID]
&sfdc.override=1&onLoadAction=send
• Remind: Make sure you have an agreement with status Out for Signature in your account.
o https://echosigndev1.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/EchoSignAgreementAdvanced?id=[agreementID]
&sfdc.override=1&onLoadAction=remind
• Delete: Make sure you have an agreement with status Out for Signature in your account.
o https://echosigndev1.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/EchoSignAgreementAdvanced?id=[agreementID]
&sfdc.override=1&onLoadAction=delete
• Cancel: Make sure you have an agreement with status Out for Signature in your account.
o https://echosigndev1.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/EchoSignAgreementAdvanced?id=[agreementID]
&sfdc.override=1&onLoadAction=cancel
• Update: Make sure you have an agreement with status Out for Signature in your account.
o https://echosigndev1.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/EchoSignAgreementAdvanced?id=[agreementID]
&sfdc.override=1&onLoadAction=update
• View: Make sure you have an agreement with status Draft, Out for Signature, Signed, or
Cancelled in your account.
o https://echosigndev1.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/EchoSignAgreementAdvanced?id=[agreementID]
&sfdc.override=1&onLoadAction=view

REQUIRE USERS TO SIGN-ON TO SALESFORCE TO ACCESS ECHOSIGN ACCOUNT
Through SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) settings, EchoSign can be integrated with Salesforce.com so
that your users are required to log in to Salesforce.com to gain access to their EchoSign accounts. This provides
benefits in security and access control. For example if a user is disabled from Salesforce, they will not have access
to their EchoSign account.
To do so, Salesforce will need to be configured as a SAML provider and EchoSign will need to be configured to
use SAML so that only valid Salesforce.com users can log in to an EchoSign account. The simple setup
instructions can be found in the EchoSign guide for setting up SAML.

GRANTING ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL PROFILES
During installation, you may have only granted Administrators access to EchoSign for Salesforce. If you need to

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide
extend access to additional user profiles, please refer the documentation for Granting Profile Access for EchoSign
for Salesforce.

UPDATING EMAIL ADDRESSES OR PASSWORDS

ADMINISTRATOR SALESFORCE ACCOUNT PASSWORD CHANGES
If the Salesforce password or username has changed for the account linked to EchoSign for your Salesforce Org,
remember to update it so that status updates continue to work properly for agreements in your Org. Go to the
EchoSign Admin page and click on the Account Setup tab. Then select the link: ‘Update Salesforce User Name or
Password to Enable Automatic Status Updates’.

USER EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGES
If any user in the Org has an email change in Salesforce, make sure to also change the user’s email address in
EchoSign. The only way to do that is for the admin or the user to log into EchoSign.com to update the password.
You can reference this guide for instructions on how to update your email address.

APPENDIX
SELECT ECHOSIGN AGREEMENTS PAGE STYLE (ADVANCED OR BASIC)
EchoSign for Salesforce has two page styles to create, edit, and view agreements. The default is the Advanced
layout and is the recommended layout. Below is some information about the differences between the layout as
well as instructions for how to change to the Basic page layout.

Adobe EchoSign for Salesforce v13 Installation and Customization Guide

THE ‘ECHOSIGN AGREEMENT ADVANCED’ PAGE STYLE (DEFAULT)
This page which is set as the default style allows you to create an EchoSign Agreement on a single page --- specify
recipients, names the agreement, select options, attach files and send. This page also gives you more flexibility in
specifying the number and type of recipients for each agreement.

THE ‘ECHOSIGN AGREEMENT BASIC’ PAGE STYLE
This page uses the standard Salesforce.com page layout to view and edit the agreement. Sending a new
agreement requires a few more clicks -- creating an agreement, saving it and then attaching files on a separate
screen. This page allows you to customize the page layout (adding and removing your own custom fields and
custom options) but does not provide the same flexibility in selecting the number and type of recipients as the
Advanced Agreement page does.
To use the EchoSign Agreement Basic page instead of the default Advanced page, follow the instructions in the
next sections:
