Recently, some our Docusign users with DS Sender permissions have been experiencing issues sending envelopes from the Docusign platform. When they click on Envelopes and then Send an Envelope, the action receives no response and after a few minutes, the request fails with a ERR_CONNECTION_RESET (201) error. This issue is occurring intermittently for some of our users.

Anyone has faced similar issue?

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience, and thank you for taking the time to share it. I completely understand how frustrating it is when things don’t work as expected, especially when trying to get work done.

To check, please answer the questions below. 

  • Are you using the regular Docusign website (www.docusign.com) or an Integration to generate/send documents like Rooms, CLM, SpringCM, Salesforce, Workday, etc?
  • Are all users affected, or only one?
  • Have there been any changes to the account settings lately?
  • Is this happening on other browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and incognito?

Hi Ma. Cassandra,

Thank you for your reply.

  • Are you using the regular Docusign website (www.docusign.com) or an Integration to generate/send documents like Rooms, CLM, SpringCM, Salesforce, Workday, etc? We have Salesforce Integration and the affected users started getting out of sync error with signatory fields in the envelope when trying to send the envelope. Then when the same user tried to manually create an envelope directly from Docusign website, it gives no response as I mentioned in my question.
  • Are all users affected, or only one? Some of our users are affected and it does work for them intermittently without doing specific actions like clearing cache, using different browser or force logout etc.
  • Have there been any changes to the account settings lately? Not that I am aware
  • Is this happening on other browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and incognito? So far confirmed with Google chrome (with incognito mode too)
  • Is this happening on other devices? I will confirm with my users.
  • What troubleshooting steps have been taken so far?  Basic troubleshooting steps for common Docusign issues All the mentioned basic steps have tried already along with disconnect and re-connecting docusign connection in our salesforce org and upgrading docusign package to latest version. We have open case with Docusign support for more than 2 months.
  • Please describe, step-by-step, what you did when the issue appeared? The above mentioned steps have tried already. What I have observed, the issues listed down happens same time
    • users are getting out of sync error on signatory fields when they try to send envelope after being directed to docusign from salesforce
    • user cannot create envelope from docusign website

Thanks,

Bhuva


Hello ​@bhuvaneswary 
Thank you for providing the information. We don’t currently receive reports about any bug related to this, but we will need to conduct advanced troubleshooting to verify.
I recommend that your account admin create a support case so the expert may investigate if this is bug-related. But since you mention you have an open case, may I have the case number to check?

Hi ​@Ma.Cubio ,

Unfortunately, we haven't heard back from Docusign support regarding the logs we provided. Yesterday, Docusign support asked us to upgrade our Salesforce Docusign package to version 9.7.2. However, our users are also experiencing issues directly on the Docusign platform itself.

Initially, we assumed the issue was connected to the Salesforce Docusign package because our users reported problems sending envelopes after being redirected from Salesforce. We followed the troubleshooting steps below, but they didn't resolve the issue. We later discovered that users aren't able to create envelopes from the Docusign platform directly and we have communicated the same to Docusign support.

The following steps were taken during our troubleshooting process:

  • We disconnected and reconnected the Docusign connection.
  • We upgraded the Salesforce Docusign package to version 7.4 (As per yesterday’s request from Docusign, we have planned upgrade to 9.7.2)

Thanks,

Bhuva

Hello ​@Ma.Cubio ,

We have received update from the engineering team yesterday that it looks like there is a network transmission issue with the outgoing response once it leaves the Docusign network. We will follow the steps advised by them to see if we get a different response.

Regards,

Bhuva

Hi ​@Ma.Cubio ,

The DocuSign Engineering team asked us to test bypassing the Akamai WAF via a host file edit to see if the behavior would change. The test had a positive outcome with one of the affected users. We are now running the same test with another user.

According to the Engineering team, “The Akamai WAF was implemented in early July, which is likely when users started experiencing the issue. The host file solution isn’t a long-term fix, just a means of debugging."

I will post an update here once we receive the permanent solution from the DocuSign team.

I really appreciate your support and follow up on this topic.

Thanks,

Bhuva


Hello ​@bhuvaneswary 
Thank you for the update and for your continued patience. I understand how important it is to resolve this. I hope our engineers will find a long-term solution as soon as possible.
Thank you and have a great day!
