Send a form as a document to CloudSign

You can generate a PDF file with SVF Cloud and send it as a document to CloudSign.

This section explains the settings required to send a form to CloudSign as a document.

Reference

  • The old SVF Cloud plans are the plans with names S, M, L, LL, XL, and XXL.

  • For information on operation of CloudSign, see CloudSign manual or other documentation.

SVF Cloud for Salesforce

On the preview screen, clicking the CloudSign icon will display a confirmation screen for the contents to be submitted. For details on the confirmation screen, see "Fields displayed on the confirmation screen for transmission".

Clicking the Send button on the confirmation screen will output a PDF file of the form in SVF Cloud and send it as a document to CloudSign.

Upon submission, a new record will be created in the Salesforce custom object "CloudSign Document". This record will be linked to the document on CloudSign. For details of CloudSign documents, see " Custom object "CloudSign Documents"".
