Does your team spend too much time manually downloading completed envelopes one by one to save on a local server or backup system? As agreement volumes grow, manually downloading PDFs and copying form data becomes incredibly time-consuming, while increasing the risk of operational errors and compliance gaps.

You can simplify and automate this routine to keep your archiving process consistent and secure. Docusign Retrieve acts as an automated extraction assistant for your infrastructure, allowing you to schedule and batch-export documents and data directly to your organization's local or cloud systems.

 

 

Key Take-aways:

Docusign Retrieve is a software application that automates the mass export of envelopes, documents, and signing data. Additional costs may apply depending on your plan and negotiation with our sales team. With this tool, admins and users can:

  • Ensure Data Security: Archive signed agreements locally behind your own corporate firewall.

  • Eliminate Manual Data Entry: Export index files (in CSV format) containing data captured from document fields, preventing manual "copy-and-paste" work into other internal systems.

  • Streamline Operations: Set advanced filters to download only what you need, such as envelopes with a "Completed" status within a specific date range.
