What it does
Document eSign for Slack turns signing activity into a live feed your whole team can see. Connect your Slack workspace once, pick a channel for each event you care about, and the app posts a clear update the moment something happens on a document. Every message links straight back to the document so anyone in the channel can open it.
It is the fastest way to keep sales, legal, operations, and customer teams aligned on where a document stands - no refreshing a dashboard, no chasing email threads.
Connect from your Document eSign account in under a minute. No Slack account? Start free first.
Events you can post
Turn each of these on or off independently, and send each one to whichever channel makes sense:
- Document sent - an envelope went out for signature.
- Recipient signed - a signer finished their part.
- Document completed - everyone signed and the document is fully executed.
- Recipient declined - a signer declined to sign.
- Document cancelled - a sender cancelled an in-flight envelope.
- Document expired - an envelope passed its expiry date before completion.
- Recipient reassigned - a signing turn was handed to someone else.
- Reminder sent - a signing reminder went out to a pending recipient.
A common setup is to route just Document completed to a deals channel and Recipient declined to an ops channel, and leave the noisier events off.
How to install
Document eSign installs into Slack from inside your account, so the right workspace and channels are connected by an admin. Here is the whole flow:
- Sign in to Document eSign as an organization admin. If you do not have an account yet, create one free.
- Go to Settings → Integrations and find the Slack card.
- Click Add to Slack (Connect). A Slack window opens asking you to choose your workspace and allow access.
- Back in Document eSign, pick a channel for each event you want to broadcast and switch it on. Save.
- That is it. The next matching event posts to your chosen channel automatically.
To post to a private channel, first add the app to that channel in Slack by typing /invite @Document eSign in the channel, then pick it from the dropdown.
Choosing channels
Each event posts to a single channel - clean and predictable, with no fan-out. You can mix and match: completions to one channel, declines and expiries to another, reminders nowhere at all.
Only an admin can connect Slack or change the routing. Teammates with a manager role can see the setup but cannot edit it. You can change a channel, turn an event off, or disconnect entirely at any time.
Permissions and privacy
Document eSign for Slack is outbound only. It posts messages and reads your channel list so you can choose where to post. It never reads your Slack conversations.
The app requests only the permissions it needs to do that:
- Post messages to a channel.
- Post to public channels.
- List your public and private channels for the dropdown.
- Read your workspace name to show it in the app.
The connection token Slack issues is encrypted at rest and is never exposed to your browser. Disconnecting removes the connection and asks Slack to revoke the token. For details on how we handle your data, see our privacy policy.
FAQ
Is it per-person or for the whole team? It is set up once for your organization by an admin. Everyone in the chosen channel sees the updates - nobody connects their own Slack.
Will it flood my channel? Only with the events you switch on. Most teams enable one or two and leave the rest off.
What if a message fails to send? Slack updates are a bonus layer - they never affect your documents or emails. If the app gets removed from a channel, that one event quietly turns off and the Slack card shows a warning so an admin can fix it.
How do I remove it? Click Disconnect on the Slack card in Settings → Integrations, or remove the app from your Slack workspace. Either way, posting stops immediately.
