Workspaces API use cases
You can use Workspaces API to help manage complex agreement processes from a central hub and control which information is provided to each participant.
New client onboarding use case
As a financial advisor, you are onboarding a new client for an IRA and a 529 college savings account.
-
Create a workspace to track the agreement process.
-
Import the IRA and the 529 savings account-specific envelope templates into the workspace.
Note that, for the initial release of Workspaces API, you must create envelopes in a Workspace using a Workspaces API call, then modify the envelope using the eSignature REST API. Full import functionality is planned to be added in a future release. See How to send an envelope with recipient info for a detailed walkthrough.
-
Add an upload request task (currently only available in the Workspaces feature UI). The client uploads their required documents to the workspace.
-
Send the envelopes to your client for signature.
New hire onboarding use case
As an HR manager, your company hires a new product designer.
-
Create a new workspace for onboarding the hire.
-
Create an upload request task and three envelopes:
- equity compensation
- non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
- your offer’s confidentiality requirements
-
The HR manager sends the envelopes and the upload request to the new hire.
-
The new hire receives a notification with a link to access all the tasks.
-
The new hire signs the presented envelopes and completes any other upload request tasks.
