Install eSignature DocuSign in Business Central

Install eSignature DocuSign in Business Central

Installing the Extension

eSignature DocuSign is installed like any other Business Central extension, from the Extension Management page (search for "Extension Management" and choose Upload Extension). The license and DocuSign connection logic are built into the extension itself, so no separate app needs to be installed alongside it.

Running the Setup Guide

After installing, open Extension Management, find eSignature DocuSign in the list, and choose Set up this app. You can also search for Assisted Setup and choose it from the checklist there. The guide walks through four short steps:

Step 1 - Welcome. A short introduction to what the guide will do.

                        

Step 2 - Connect to DocuSign. Select Open DocuSign Apps & Keys to open DocuSign's own admin page in your browser and find your User ID and API Account ID. Enter both values on this step, then select Connect to DocuSign. The Connection Status field confirms whether the connection is genuinely working.

                        

                        

Step 3 - Activate Your License. Your environment's Tenant ID is detected automatically. Select Request a License to send NAV SEAL an email with your Tenant ID and company details already filled in. Once NAV SEAL confirms your license is active, come back to this step and select Refresh Status - the License Status field will update to Active.

                        

Step 4 - All Set. Turn on Activate DocuSign now if you want users to be able to start sending documents immediately - this also schedules the background job that keeps envelope statuses up to date automatically. Select Finish to close the guide.

                               

Running thee Setup Guide Again Later


Idea
You can re-open the Setup Guide at any time - for example, to reconnect DocuSign after rotating your API keys - using the Run Setup Guide action on the DocuSign Administration page (see below), or again via Extension Management. Running it again never overwrites report or anchor settings you have already configured.
