Adobe Sign Services and Enterprise Connectors

Adobe Sign is an e-signature solution that allows people to send a document for e-signature, create and manage agreements, retrieve signed documents, archive signed documents, embed a signing UI in your app, send reminders, download audit trails, and more.

ProcessMaker enterprise connectors are available for download through the connector public library to work with Adobe Sign services.

Adobe Sign Services

Each one of these connectors has their own configuration and their own parameters to be defined. Therefore, it is recommended to read the Adobe Sign API documentation.

  • Get Library Documents: Retrieves library documents for a user.
  • Send Reminders: Sends a reminder for an agreement.
  • Base URIs: Gets the base URI to access other APIs. In case other APIs are accessed from a different endpoint, it will be considered an invalid request.
  • Get Agreement: Retrieves the latest status of an agreement.
  • Send Agreement: Creates an agreement. Sends it out for signatures, and returns the agreement ID in the response to the client.

Adobe Sign Configuration Example

This example shows us how to configure:

Configuring Adobe Sign Account

Before you configure your Adobe Sign account, you must fulfill the following requirements:

  • Create an Adobe developer account filling out the form here. The developer account is needed because we will create OAuth 2.0 client credentials.
  • Your ProcessMaker server should be configured to use HTTPS. Adobe Sign doesn’t work with insecure connections.
  • Install in ProcessMaker the Enterprise Connectors v.1.2 plugin or a recent version.

To manage Adobe Sign endpoints, it is necessary to configure your Adobe Sign account first. Please, follow these steps:
