Docusign Make integrationAutomate Docusign with Make.
What if every signed envelope filed itself the moment the last person signed? The Docusign Make integration gives you 52 modules, 27 of them triggers, to send, track and download agreements without code. This guide walks ops and sales teams through the connection and a first working scenario.

What can the Docusign Make integration do for you?
The Docusign Make integration links your Docusign account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a single brick such as a trigger, an action or a search. Docusign events start the scenario, and Docusign actions send, void or download envelopes for you.
Signed contract, filed without anyone touching it. Watch Envelope Completed spots the envelope once every recipient has finished, and Download a Document pulls the signed file so the next module can store it wherever your team keeps contracts.
Quotes that leave for signature on their own. When a deal is won in your CRM, Send a Document from Template to Sign builds the envelope from a saved template. For one agreement going to a long list of people, Create Bulk Send List, Add to Bulk Send List and Bulk Send Envelope from Template do the heavy lifting.
Stalled signatures flagged early. Watch Recipient Auto Responded warns you when the invitation email bounced, and Watch Envelope Declined tells sales which deal needs a call.
Some limits come straight from the doc. Watch Docusign Connect Event hands its data over as XML, so a Parse XML module has to follow it. Get an Envelope Form Data needs an option switched on in Docusign first. The doc also reserves part of this setup to the Business Pro eSignature plan and higher. When a listed module falls short, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Docusign API. Docusign may also exist as an n8n node; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria. New to the editor?

How do you connect Docusign to Make?
- 01
Add a Docusign module
In your scenario, pick any Docusign module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Docusign account linked to Make once, then reused by every Docusign module you add later.
- 02
Name it and authorize Make
Give the connection a clear name, handy if you juggle a test account and a live one. Then sign in on the Docusign page that opens and allow Make to act on your account.
- 03
Save and check the fields
Click Save. Back in the module, Make can now list the envelopes and templates it reads from your account, so you pick them instead of typing IDs by hand.
Your first scenario: save every completed contract
GoalWhen an envelope is completed in Docusign, Make downloads the signed document so the next step can store it.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big +. Search for Docusign and choose Watch Envelope Completed, the scheduled version with the clock badge.
- 02
Link your account
Click Create a connection, sign in to Docusign and allow access. Make stores the connection, so the download module will reuse it without asking again.
- 03
Add the download
Click the + to the right of the trigger and add Download a Document. Map the envelope from the trigger's output so Make knows which envelope to open.
- 04
Test with Run once
Finish a test envelope in Docusign, then click Run once. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundle it received: one envelope in, one file out.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
On the first module, set the schedule; a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Switch the scenario on, then add the module of the tool where your contracts should land.
Docusign triggers: what starts your scenario
27 modules start a scenario when something happens in Docusign. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Docusign as soon as it happens.
Watch Click Agreed
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent after a recipient accepts an elastic template.”
Starts your scenario as soon as someone accepts an elastic template, one of the agreement formats Docusign offers. You get a record of the acceptance without opening Docusign.
Watch Click Declined
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent after a recipient declines an elastic template.”
Fires when a person refuses an elastic template, so a declined set of terms never goes unnoticed. The scenario receives the refusal as a bundle, one item passed from module to module.
Watch Docusign Connect Event
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when one of the selected events are fired in Docusign”
Listens to the events you tick in Docusign Connect, so one trigger can cover several envelope changes at once instead of one module per event.
Watch Envelope Completed
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when an envelope has been completed.”
Picks up envelopes that every recipient has finished, and it is the only Docusign trigger here that Make polls rather than receives. That makes it the easiest one to set up for a first try.
Watch Envelope Completed
Instant triggerIn Make“The envelope has been completed by all the recipients.”
This instant twin of the previous trigger tells Make the moment the last recipient finishes the envelope, so the signed deal moves on without waiting for a polling round.
Watch Envelope Corrected
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the envelope is correctedcorrected, opens in new window within the UI or via any of the Envelopes/EnvelopesRecipients API calls.”
Reacts when a sender corrects an envelope that is already out, whether the change was made in the Docusign interface or through the API. Your records stay in line with the version recipients now see.
Watch Envelope Created
Instant triggerIn Make“This event is sent when an envelope is created through the DocuSign eSignature UI or when an envelope's status is set to "created" after an Envelopes:create API call.”
Catches a new envelope as soon as it exists, whether someone built it in Docusign or an API call set its status to created. Handy for seeing drafts before they go out.
Watch Envelope Declined
Instant triggerIn Make“The envelope has been declined by one of the recipients.”
Tells you that one recipient refused to sign, which stops the whole envelope. You learn about a lost or blocked deal without refreshing Docusign.
Watch Envelope Deleted
Instant triggerIn Make“This event is sent after an already-sent envelope is deleted, opens in new window.”
Signals that an envelope already sent has been deleted, so your own records do not keep pointing at something that is gone from the inbox of the sender.
Watch Envelope Delivered
Instant triggerIn Make“This event is sent when all recipients have opened the envelope through the DocuSign signing website. This does not signify an email delivery of an envelope.”
Fires once every recipient has opened the envelope on the Docusign signing site. It is the proof that everyone at least looked at the document.
Watch Envelope Discard
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when an envelope in created or draft state is deleted or discarded within the tagging UI.”
Spots envelopes thrown away while still in created or draft state, from the tagging screen where fields get placed. Useful to clean up anything your scenario logged too early.
Watch Envelope Purged
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the envelope is queued to be purged, opens in new window or via the Envelopes:update API call.”
Warns you when an envelope is queued for purge, whether from the interface or an update through the API. It is the last moment to keep a copy of the documents elsewhere.
Watch Envelope Resent
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the envelope is resent, opens in new window within the UI or via the Envelopes:update API call.”
Lets you know that a sender pushed an envelope out again, from the interface or through the API. It shows which agreements needed a second nudge.
Watch Envelope Sent
Instant triggerIn Make“This event is sent when the email notification, with a link to the envelope, is sent to at least one recipient or when it is a recipient's turn to sign during embedded signing. The envelope remains in this state until all recipients have viewed the envelope.”
Triggers when the notification email goes to at least one recipient, or when an embedded signer's turn comes up. The envelope stays sent until everyone has viewed it.
Watch Envelope Voided
Instant triggerIn Make“The envelope has been voided by the sender or has expired. The void reason indicates whether the envelope was manually voided or expired.”
Reports envelopes that were cancelled by the sender or simply expired. The void reason in the data tells you which of the two happened.
Watch Recipient Auto Responded
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when DocuSign gets notification that an email delivery has failed. The delivery failure could be for a number of reasons, such as a bad email address or that the recipient’s email system auto-responds to the email from DocuSign.”
Flags a failed email delivery to a recipient, caused by a wrong address or by a mailbox that answers automatically. You find the problem before the signer goes silent.
Watch Recipient Completed
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the recipient has completed their actions for the envelope, typically (but not always) by signing.”
Fires each time one recipient finishes their part of the envelope, usually by signing, though not always. You follow progress person by person.
Watch Recipient Declined
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the recipient declines to sign the document(s) in the envelope.”
Tells you exactly which person refused to sign the documents in an envelope. More precise than the envelope level alert when several people are involved.
Watch Recipient Delegate
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent after a Delegation rule is in place and when a delegated signer is sent an envelope within the UI or the API.”
Catches the moment a delegated signer receives an envelope because a delegation rule is set up in Docusign. You see who is really signing in place of the original contact.
Watch Recipient Delivered
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the recipient has viewed the document(s) in an envelope through the DocuSign signing web site. This does not signify an email delivery of an envelope.”
Fires when one recipient has viewed the documents on the Docusign signing site, before they sign or refuse. It is a reading receipt, person by person.
Watch Recipient Marked Finish Later
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the recipient selects Finish Later on an envelope.”
Shows that a recipient started the envelope and clicked Finish Later. The deal is not lost, just paused, and you know about it.
Watch Recipient Reassign
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when the envelope is reassigned by a recipient within the UI.”
Reacts when a recipient hands the envelope over to someone else from the Docusign interface. The new name enters the process without you hearing about it otherwise.
Watch Recipient Resent
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggered when an envelope is resent to a recipient within the web application or using the EnvelopeRecipients : update API call.”
Triggers when an envelope is sent again to one specific recipient, from the web app or through an API update. You see which person needed another reminder.
Watch Recipient Sent
Instant triggerIn Make“This event is sent when an email notification is sent to the recipient signifying that it is their turn to sign an envelope.”
Fires when a recipient gets the email saying it is their turn to sign. In a signing order, you can follow the envelope as it moves from one person to the next.
Watch Template Created
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when a template is createdtemplate is created, opens in new window within the UI or via the Templates:create API call.”
Lets Make know when a new Docusign template appears, created in the interface or through the API. Your template library stays documented without extra work.
Watch Template Deleted
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when a template is deleted within the UI or via the recycle bin API call recycle bin API call, opens in new window.”
Reports a template removed from the interface or through the recycle bin API. Any scenario still pointing at it would fail, so this is your early warning.
Watch Template Modified
Instant triggerIn Make“Sent when a template is modified within the UI or via the Templates:update API call.”
Fires when someone edits a template in the interface or through the API. Changes to a clause or a field no longer slip by unnoticed.

Other modules
21 modulesAdd to Bulk Send List
ActionIn Make“Adds a recipient to the bulk send list”
Adds one recipient to an existing bulk send list, so your mailing list for a mass signature grows as new contacts show up.
Bulk Send Envelope from Template
ActionIn Make“Sends envelopes based on a template to multiple recipients using a bulk send list.”
Sends the same template to every recipient of a bulk send list in one go, each person getting their own envelope to sign.
Create Bulk Send List
ActionIn Make“Creates a bulk send list”

Create Long-lived Pre-filled Webform Link
ActionIn Make“Creates a long-lived pre-filled webform link (less secure, infinite duration)”
Generates a web form link with fields already filled, and the link does not expire. The person opens it and only completes what is missing.
Create Short-lived Pre-filled Webform Link
ActionIn Make“Creates a secure Session Link for the filled webform (more secure, shorter duration)”
Builds a secure session link to a pre-filled web form, valid for a shorter time. Safer than the long-lived link when the form holds personal details.

ActionIn Make“Creates a signing group.”
Creates a signing group in Docusign, so an envelope can be addressed to a group rather than to one named person.
Create Template from Document
ActionIn Make“Creates a new template using a document.”
Turns a document into a new Docusign template, ready to be sent again and again without rebuilding it.
Download a Document
ActionIn Make“Downloads a document from a specified envelope.”

Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Calls any endpoint of the Docusign API with the connection you already set up. It covers everything the listed modules leave out.
/v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/ with the from_date parameter to fetch envelopes changed since a date.Send a Document from Template to Sign
ActionIn Make“Creates and sends an envelope using a selected template.”
Creates and sends an envelope from a template you pick, so recipients get the standard agreement with the right layout and fields.

Update Template
ActionIn Make“Updates a template”
Changes an existing Docusign template from your scenario, so your templates follow the data kept in another tool.
