# DocuSign Automation

Comprehensive skill for automating e-signature and document signing workflows.

## Core Workflows

### 1. Signing Flow

```
DOCUSIGN SIGNING FLOW:
┌─────────────────┐
│  Create Envelope│
│  - Document     │
│  - Recipients   │
└────────┬────────┘
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│  Add Fields     │
│  - Signatures   │
│  - Initials     │
│  - Dates        │
└────────┬────────┘
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│  Send for       │
│  Signature      │
└────────┬────────┘
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│  Signer 1 Signs │
│  (In order)     │
└────────┬────────┘
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│  Signer 2 Signs │
│  (If multiple)  │
└────────┬────────┘
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│   Completed     │
│  - Archive      │
│  - Distribute   │
└─────────────────┘
```

### 2. Envelope Configuration

```yaml
envelope_config:
  email_subject: "{{document_type}} - Please Sign"
  email_blurb: |
    Please review and sign the attached {{document_type}}.
    This document requires your signature by {{due_date}}.
    
  documents:
    - name: "{{contract_name}}.pdf"
      document_id: 1
      
  recipients:
    signers:
      - email: "{{signer_1_email}}"
        name: "{{signer_1_name}}"
        routing_order: 1
        tabs:
          sign_here:
            - anchor: "/sig1/"
              offset_x: 0
              offset_y: 0
          date_signed:
            - anchor: "/date1/"
              
      - email: "{{signer_2_email}}"
        name: "{{signer_2_name}}"
        routing_order: 2
        tabs:
          sign_here:
            - anchor: "/sig2/"
            
    carbon_copies:
      - email: "legal@company.com"
        name: "Legal Team"
        routing_order: 3
        
  settings:
    reminder_enabled: true
    reminder_delay: 2  # days
    reminder_frequency: 2  # days
    expiration_days: 30
```

## Template Management

## API Examples

### Create and Send Envelope

```javascript
// Create Envelope from Template
const envelope = await docusign.envelopes.create(accountId, {
  templateId: "template_123",
  templateRoles: [
    {
      roleName: "Customer",
      email: "customer@example.com",
      name: "John Customer",
      tabs: {
        textTabs: [
          {
            tabLabel: "CompanyName",
            value: "Customer Corp"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  status: "sent"
});

// Get Envelope Status
const status = await docusign.envelopes.get(
  accountId, 
  envelopeId
);

// Download Completed Documents
const documents = await docusign.envelopes.getDocuments(
  accountId,
  envelopeId,
  { certificate: true }
);

// Void Envelope
await docusign.envelopes.update(accountId, envelopeId, {
  status: "voided",
  voidedReason: "Contract terms changed"
});
```
