DocuSign Troubleshooting

Use this page to help guide you when you experience issues with DocuSign.

Missing Envelopes

If DocuSign envelopes aren't being received, reset the connection to the DocuSign server:

  • Log in to Agiloft as the DocuSign administrator.

  • Go to Setup > Integration and click Configure under DocuSign Extension.

  • Click Disable DocuSign Connect. This brings you back to the Integration menu.
  • Click Configure under DocuSign Extension again.
  • Click Enable DocuSign Connect.

Resending Envelopes

When a connection is established, you need to resend any envelopes that were sent and not received:

  1. Go to the DocuSign Envelopes table.
  2. Open the envelope you want to resend.
  3. Click Send.

If you prefer, you can instead resend them through DocuSign:

  1. Log in to DocuSign as the administrator.
  2. Click Manage on the toolbar.
  3. Check each folder and resend any envelopes that failed.

Server Issues

If your server is not openly accessible to the web, you might see a closed server error. To resolve it, check the following to enable secure port access for DocuSign Connect:

  • Open port access: In the web server, open up access to port 443 for the specified DocuSign IP ranges listed in the DocuSign security whitelist in the Trust section.
  • Configure proxy: If there is an active proxy or firewall, configure it to also allow URL and port forwarding from: https://external-address:443/extension
  • Update the DocuSign certificate: Your SSL certificate might be outdated. Download the latest public DocuSign Connect certificate and add it to the server.

  • Manage hotlinks: All hotlinks for the server should be pointing to https://external-address/. This means that when an admin creates a DocuSign Connect configuration and clicks Enable DocuSign Connect in the DocuSign wizard, Agiloft will use the external address to create the configuration in the DocuSign website.

Permission Issues

If you have multiple users sending envelopes with the same shared DocuSign account, make sure that account is configured to allow this behavior.

Go to Settings > Users and Groups > Permission Profiles and enable "Allow send on behalf of other users through API" for the user's permission profile.
