Does anyone know if we can send forms to contacts from salesforce, have them input information into the form and then use that information in Salesforce?

Our usecase is that we have employees that need to submit hours on a monthly basis, we send them a form based on a Docusign template, they then get that signed and return it to us.

However we would like to take those hours that they submitted and use them in further automation.

Does anyone know if that is possible?

Thx for the reply.

Unfortunately this doesn't fully cover what we need. 

We would like to add some fields to a docusign form (fields that don't exist 1-on-1 in SF).

Those fields are then filled by the recipient, we get the signed form back from the recipient and we use the input from the recipient to automate other processes in Salesforce. 

We've decided to go a different way though by sending a link to a public community through which users can then insert data direct into salesforce, we use that data to populate a docusign envelope and send that to the right people.

regards,

kevin
