n8n-nodes-docusigns

The most complete DocuSign eSignature integration for n8n. Period.
Built, maintained, and owned by next8n

---

You're duct-taping DocuSign into your workflows. And it's breaking.

Every time someone needs to send an envelope, check a signing status, download completed documents, or trigger a workflow when a contract is signed — you're either building custom scripts, paying for middleware, or manually downloading PDFs and uploading them somewhere else.

Your legal team wants contracts auto-sent from the CRM. Your ops team wants signed documents in SharePoint. Your sales team wants Slack notifications when deals close. They want it now.

This node connects everything in 2 minutes.

Drop it into any n8n workflow. 80 resources. 330+ operations. The entire DocuSign eSignature REST API v2.1 — envelopes, templates, recipients, tabs, documents, views, workflows, brands, users, groups, billing, bulk send, PowerForms, folders, workspaces, notary. All of it.

No other DocuSign node comes close.

How it works

[DocuSign] <--> [n8n-nodes-docusigns] <--> [Your CRM / Email / Sheets / Slack / Anything]

Trigger: Contract signed

{
  "event": "envelope-completed",
  "data": {
    "envelopeId": "abc-123-def",
    "status": "completed",
    "emailSubject": "NDA for Project Alpha",
    "completedDateTime": "2024-12-15T14:30:00Z"
  }
}

Action: Automatically process everywhere

DocuSign Trigger → Download PDF → Google Drive (archive) → HubSpot (update deal) → Slack (notify legal)

No code. No Zapier. No monthly per-zap pricing. Just n8n + this node.

Connecting DocuSign to n8n — Step by Step

Option 1: OAuth2 (Recommended — easiest)

This is the click-and-authorize method. No technical knowledge required.

One-time setup in DocuSign (takes 2 minutes):

1. Go to DocuSign Admin → Apps and Keys (use admin.docusign.com for production)
2. Click "Add App and Integration Key"
3. Give it any name (e.g., "n8n Integration")
4. Copy the Integration Key — this is your Client ID
5. Under Secret Keys, click "Add Secret Key" and copy it
6. Under Additional Settings → Redirect URIs, click "+ Add URI" and paste your n8n OAuth callback URL:
   • Self-hosted: https://your-n8n-domain.com/rest/oauth2-credential/callback
   • n8n Cloud: https://your-instance.app.n8n.cloud/rest/oauth2-credential/callback
7. Click Save

In n8n:

1. Go to Credentials → Add Credential → DocuSign OAuth2 API
2. Select your environment (Demo for testing, Production for live)
3. Paste your Client ID (Integration Key) and Client Secret (Secret Key)
4. Click "Sign in with DocuSign" — a DocuSign login page opens
5. Log in and click "Allow"
6. Done — n8n stores and auto-refreshes your token

Option 2: JWT (For server-to-server automation)

Use this when you need unattended automation (no human clicks "authorize").

One-time setup in DocuSign:

1. Go to DocuSign Admin → Apps and Keys
2. Create an app (or use existing) and copy the Integration Key
3. Note your User ID (GUID) and API Account ID shown on the same page
4. Under Service Integration, click "Generate RSA" and save the private key
5. Grant consent once by opening this URL in your browser (replace YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY):

   https://account-d.docusign.com/oauth/auth?response_type=code&scope=signature%20impersonation&client_id=YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY&redirect_uri=https://www.docusign.com
   

   (For production, use account.docusign.com instead of account-d.docusign.com)
6. Click "Allow" on the consent screen

In n8n:

1. Go to Credentials → Add Credential → DocuSign JWT API
2. Select your environment
3. Paste: Integration Key, User ID, RSA Private Key, Account ID
4. Click Save — n8n auto-tests the connection
5. Done

Which method should I use?

Scenario	Use
Personal workflows, testing	OAuth2
Team workflows where someone clicks authorize	OAuth2
Automated server processes (cron, triggers)	JWT
n8n Cloud	OAuth2
Self-hosted n8n running headless	JWT
