DocuSign - Delete Envelope step

Use the Delete Envelope step to delete a DocuSign envelope.

Knowledge of how DocuSign works is required to use the DocuSign integration provided by the product. You may learn more about DocuSign from the DocuSign website at https://www.docusign.com.

You can, for example, decide to keep the envelope created during a workflow, or delete it. Use the Delete Envelope step to delete the envelope if it is not going to be used or sent again. Drag the Delete Envelope step from the DocuSign category, Favorites bar, or the Recent category onto the canvas.

    DocuSign Service

    This is the service instance you registered to integrate with the product. You can register multiple service instances when needed, but only one is required. In the case where you have multiple service instances, and you have templates in another service instance, make sure the templates created in DocuSign are shared if you need them available for all service instances.

    Select the service instance from the menu.

    Return Property Mappings

    Return properties listed here are mapped to variables. This allows you to make use of these values in other steps in the workflow. Create a field and drag it from the Context Browser to the return property. The value of this property is stored in the variable for each workflow instance.

    Select properties and supply return values.

    Type values or create dynamic values by dragging Functions, Fields, SmartObjects and Workflow-related items from the Context Browser into the fields.

    When a SmartObject Load method property is used, an input property is required for the correct data to load.

    Click Add to add additional property fields.

  4. From the DocuSign Service menu, select the service instance. Add the Envelope ID and type a value, use inline functions, or use dynamic fields by clicking the expand or collapse toggle to expand the Context Browser. Within the Context Browser, select inline functions from the Functions, Fields, SmartObjects or the Workflow categories to define your function. Click and drag the function on to the field.

When working with the Delete Envelope step keep in mind the following consideration:

  • The DocuSign Service Instance must be registered before using this wizard. For information on how to do this, see DocuSign feature activation.
  • Use the Create Envelope step first, which is typically the starting point when building a workflow containing DocuSign steps
