Getting out of sync error when adding merge field

Hi, we have added a document and when we go to add merge fields we get a, ‘Attempt to de-reference a null object’.  The message disappears and then we can add merge fields. We then go to add the merge fields fields into the document and receive a ‘Save Error: Some Fields may be out of Sync Error’. We have disconnected as suggested in related articles but that did not solve the issue. Any other suggestions?Thanks

Generate Agreement with Docusign Action in Salesforce Flow is not working

Hi all,We are actively using DocuSign and have an issue using Generate Agreement with Docusign action in flow. We need to generate a document using Gen Template, since we need to dynamically populate a table with the child object records information, and then send it using Envelope Template in the background when record status is changed. That's why we use flow and actions. We did it as described in the documentation: https://docusign.my.site.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&bundleId=izj1586134369853&topicId=fvj1713565839079.html&_LANG=enus, but it's not working, nothing happened. The Send With DocuSign action on the other side is working fine and sends an envelope. What can be the reason for this issue? Maybe we missed some configuration on template or something like that?

Writeback is not working with a field marked as 'Hide text with asterisks'

I am building a DocuSign envelope template inside Salesforce using DocuSign App Launcher(DAL). I have the following two questions, please: I am adding many merge fields associated with Lead object, and one of these fields is Social Insurance Number. Based on best security practices, this field is enabled with the 'Hide text with asterisks' feature. The writeback is enabled for this field. But when the envelope is signed, the associated field on the Salesforce lead record is not updated. Is this a limit with DocuSign, or is there something wrong? For a specific merge field, I don’t want the field value to be pre-populated from the associated Salesforce field when the envelope is opened, but I want it to be written back to the Salesforce record. Is this possible?

Unable to sign document via email or on app when envelope is sent through synced CRM

We have our Docusign account linked to our CRM, which allows us to send envelopes through our CRM portal. I usually receive the email notification that a Docusign envelope is available to sign. When I click to review the document, I get an error message that says:“Envelope or Account Activation Not FoundThe envelope is not accessible at this time. The envelope may have been recalled by the sender or require additional processing. “I will also get a notification through my Docusign mobile app. When I go to sign the document, I am able to view the doc but the fields are not available and I am unable to sign. Is there a setting that needs to be toggled in order for this to come through?

DS eSignature legacyI need to create a DS custom field, related to Salesforce.In DS Admin, I go to the menu 'Document Custom Fields' for a Field Creation.I check ‘relate to Salesforce', choose first the object, and then look for my field.But my SF field does not appear in the list, and I do not know why ! In SF, the field has good Field accessibility (I have checked accessibility/visibility for my user profile). I can see the field in SF. Do you have any idea ?

"File failed to delete" when modifying Word docs in Salesforce Gen Templates

Our org uses Docusign for eSignature and Doc Gen natively in Salesforce via the Docusign Apps Launcher v6.12. I'm attempting to modify an existing Gen Template. Specifically, I want to swap out the current Word .doc being used with a newer version. I can add the new Word doc via the "Upload Documents" stage of the process, but removing the old doc is throwing an error: "File failed to delete. Try again."When I attempt to delete a second time, the page is stuck loading, and I see the following error code:This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it. Action failed: dfsle:GenImportTemplateFiles$controller$removeFile [Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')] Failing descriptor: {dfsle:GenImportTemplateFiles$controller$removeFile}I've attempted this with the same result on multiple Gen Templates. I'm unclear what the problem is, but this issue will impact us negatively very soon if we cannot get a resolution. Any help would be appreciated.

PoC - issue connecting Salesforce Sandbox with docusign Dev account

Everything looked to be going OK, except whenever i put a merge field on my document I got an ‘unable to connect to service’ message. I found a post that said disconnect and reconnect the docusign account which I did but it made no difference. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package from the AppExchange. It claims to be installed successfully but I now just get a grey screen on the DocuSign setup tab and a ‘refused to connect’ message.Any thoughts on how I can fix this please.

Docusign eSignature - how to group checkboxes and Title field not lining up when generating form

Hello I am using Docusign eSignature and DocGen. We have the Docusign enterprise pro for salesforce plan. Is it possible to group two checkboxes created in the Document Custom Fields section? I have created these and inserted them into the template but they act independently of each other. I need the person filling out the form to check either one option or the other, but not be able to select both. Also, I am having an issue when inserting a custom field for Title that the end user should fill in as it does not line up with where the tag is placed on the template. It seems that anytime I insert a field that the end-user has the ability to write-in, they are not aligned properly and require manual intervention.

Hey!I have users trying to send out of Salesforce but keep getting this error - however, as an admin, I can send without the error populating. We’re using docusign esignature for CPQ v2.2 if that matters - Anyone ever seen this?

We are configuring a Docusign Demo\UAT CLM Account to be integrated with a Salesforce Sandbox Organization.The issue we are having is that after we have successfully gone through the 2 steps of logging into Salesforce using our Salesforce integration user & also logging into Docusign using our Docusign integration user. When we go to map a Salesforce object via the DAL. The process just spins & it never completes. We have tried this several times but each time we got the results, no completion, process just spins & then times out.Here are the steps we have gone through:Successfully installed as a Salesforce Admin Version 7.2 of the Docusign Apps Launcher Successfully connected our Salesforce Integration User via the DAL Successfully connected our Docusign Integration User via the DAL Tried to map a custom Salesforce Object via the DA

Issue with Signature Fields in Multiple Gen Templates

Hello,At my company, we use DocuSign for Salesforce and set up DocuSign integrations for other companies.Our contract (daily, weekly) and disclosure (NY, CA, VA) documents are in separate Gen Templates, each linked to specific rules. For example, if frequency = daily and billing address = NY, then the daily contract and NY disclosure are sent for signature.Issue:Both templates are successfully sent for signature, but while the contract correctly displays the picklist, signature, and date signed fields (configured via the envelope template), the disclosure does not show these fields. As a result, both templates cannot be completed smoothly.I have created multiple support tickets, but due to the complexity of the scenario, I haven’t found a clear solution or resource. At this point, I’m not even sure if DocuSign supports this functionality as expected.Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a solution?Thank you!

Template generation error when access to field granted by Permission Set

We are using Salesforce Minimum Access and System Administrator profiles for users, where they have basic access to objects and fields. Access to custom fields is granted via the Permission Sets. When I try to generate template I have following error: Could not generate document “Template Name” [103] Please ensure user has access to all the fields in template. 'Activation_Fee__c' Reference ID: f0ee0172-0614-47be-969c-d30eaf2c704d.I have granted access to this field by assigned Permission Set. When I set this field read and edit on Profile, then the problem is gone. It looks that DocuSign checks access only on Profile level, not the Permission Set. Can anyone help with that?

Envelope Information Sync to Object

We are looking to transition from DocuSign eSignature for Salesforce (7.12.1) to Docusign Apps Launcher 6.12 and I’m trying to get it setup in a lower environment for testing. One of the features we used in the eSignature app was syncing the envelope status and date sent over to the related fields in Contracts. When trying to setup DAL, I don’t see this being able to be configured, where it will update the field of the Date Sent. Am I missing something somewhere?

Salesforce DocuSign Apps Launcher

Hello, When using the DocuSign Apps Launcher in Salesforce, I’m unable to see anything related to CLM despite having downloaded the CLM app through the app exchange. I can see various CLM components and permission sets through the managed package, but I can’t see a CLM app, or a config page through DocuSign setup. I can only see eSignature and DocuSign Gen. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this issue? Thank you!
