Configure Data Mapping

Important: Nintex eSign is no longer available to download through the Salesforce AppExchange and is no longer supported in Salesforce Lightning. It is recommended to use Nintex DocGen for use with Salesforce Lightning.

In order for information entered by signers to pass from Jotblocks to Salesforce or from Salesforce to pre-fill signer Jotblocks, Nintex eSign Data Mapping must be configured.

Nintex eSign provides support for bi-directional data mapping. This allows:

  • Use of data from Salesforce entity fields to automatically populate the sender inputs for an Nintex eSign template.

  • Use of signer provided data from an Nintex eSign envelope to update fields on a Salesforce entity after signing is complete.
