Description: How to add Adobe Sign text tags in the Nintex Document Tagger for electronic documents requesting information and signature to use in a one step process.
Scenario: Customer X has an incorrect address on-file with Company Y and needs Customer X to update this information. Company Y sends Customer X an electronic document requesting for their most current address and signature.
Let's walkthrough the following scenario of how we would set this up within our workflow.
HOW TO SETUP TEXT TAGS
Document Template
- Open your template where you will want to add your Adobe Sign text tags.
- Once tags have been added, save file to your document library.
TEMPLATE | TAGS |
1. Name: {{Name1_es_:fullname}} 2. Email: {{Em1_es_:email}} 3. Address: {{Address}} 4. Zip Code: {{zip_es_:zip4} |

- Add the Generation document action to your workflow by simply dragging and dropping the action on the workflow canvas.
- Next, configure the Generation document action to reference the template.

6. Recipient: Under Signing Order, select either: 1. Complete in order 2. Complete in any order (Depending on whether your recipients should sign in a given order or any order).

Run the Workflow
- Once the workflow has been kicked-off, the recipient will receive a notification to provide detailed information and sign.
- Open notification and select link to "Click here to review and sign….".
Update Document and Sign for Return
Under Customer Information, you'll notice the following fields where you can populate information that may need updating. These are the fields that we setup in our Document Template (1st step).
- Once the fields are populated, then sign your document in the Signature field.
- At the bottom of your document select the Click to Sign and you're finished.
To recap, we've taken a two-step process of sending out a document to recipient to update and then at a later state requesting signature. In this process we've shown how we can combine those two steps (update and sign) into one single process.
