Change sender to user who triggert the power automate flow

@RonaldVDB 

As you stated correctly the envelope will be created and send from the user that was used to create the connection in Power Automate, where you logged in as that specific user.

There is the option to set up Shared Access to allow “Send on behalf of”, which would grant other users the permission to send envelopes from their user account.

However, I don’t think this feature is currently made available through the Docusign connector in Power Automate, so you would need to build the flow that way, that it is executed as the user you want to send it with, which means they have to once authenticate to create their own connection.

that's right, I made the flow and the connections. these are in my name now. 

when another user triggers the flow, the flow contains an action:create envelope. if you look in Docusign, the envelope is in my name instead of the user.

Thats obvious not what we want.

I want the envelope sender name on the user who triggers the flow.

When you share the Power Automate flow with the users, you can configure that the users need to provide the Docusign connection. The envelope step will run with in their connection and the envelope will be send from their account and in their name.

Isn't there any other solution to this problem? It seems to me that everyone who uses Power Automate and Docusign runs into this.

Can this perhaps be solved by writing a create envelope in an http/post request?

Hi Alejandro,

Helaas heb ik nog geen oplossing voor het probleem.

Het is nog steeds zo dat ik niet de sender kan aanpassen in Power Automate.

Nu is het de user die de verbinding heeft aangemaakt in de flow naar docusign.

De sender moet juist de persoon zijn die de flow triggert.

Ik hoor graag als iemand hier een oplossing voor heeft.

Hi @RonaldVDB,

Thank you for following up.

To answer your question, as mentioned by @Michael.Rave  the default behavior of most integrations with eSignature will create their envelopes through the user that originally configured the application. This is the case with Power Automate, but it differs in that you also have the option of customizing your workflow's user authentication settings, so that the user triggering the workflow can be related to the envelope that will be created. This can be accomplished by including a “Login” action prior to the rest that will be included in the workflow. More details on this action can be found, here:

Hi Alejandro,

Unfortunately, I still don’t have a solution for the problem.

It’s still the case that I can’t adjust the sender in Power Automate.

Currently, it’s the user who has established the connection in the flow to DocuSign.

The sender should actually be the person triggering the flow.

I’d appreciate it if someone has a solution for this.

Best regards, Ronald

Hi @RonaldVDB,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Were you able to add the Log in action in your workflow? And if that is the case, what results did you get?

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I will address them as soon as possible.

Hi Alejandro,

I have added the Login action, and the return message now provides the credentials of the person who triggers the flow. However, the envelope still comes in the name of the connection owner

If service accounts are to be used to login to Power Automate, how is that configured if users want to use the interface of DocuSign (example, manually drag-and-drop the signature placement) from SharePoint? 

For example, they want to trigger a document from SharePoint using “Get signatures with DocuSign”, if they are prompted with a login, how is it supposed to be configured where it’s automatically connected as the Service Account connected to that Organization?
