Installation and Configuration
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.
Nintex eSign for Salesforce Lightning solution can be installed without effecting prior installations. As a separate object with separate naming conventions, it will not interfere with or modify any existing AssureSign configuration you may have in your Salesforce environment.
The package for the current version can be installed from the Salesforce AppExchange.
Select that you want to Install for All Users.
You will then be prompted to approve 3rd party access. Select to grant access to AssureSign's websites, and continue. You may also selectively choose only account.assuresign.net and the "Site URL" (NA1, WWW, SB, CA1 or EU1) where your organization is hosted.
To determine your Site URL in the AssureSign portal you can go to Administration and then Settings and it will be located under the Account Information heading on the row titled Site URL.
Once you have granted access, click continue. Salesforce will install the application, and send you an email once the features are available in your environment.
