Prerequisites 📋

Before setting up the integration, ensure the following are in place:

  • ✅ The Adobe Sign integration is enabled for your SpotDraft workspace. Contact your CS or Implementation team if it is not visible under Integrations.

  • ✅ An organisational Adobe Sign account (e.g. integrations@yourcompany.com). This account will be used to create and send all agreements on Adobe Sign via SpotDraft.

  • ✅ A paid Adobe Sign API plan — Standard Plan or higher.

Part A: Create the SpotDraft API Application in Adobe Sign ⚙

  1. Log in to Adobe Sign as an Admin and navigate to API section (Settings → Acrobat Sign API → API Applications).

    Open the integration and confirm:

    1. All credential fields are populated

    2. The button now reads Disconnect

🎉 Adobe Sign is now connected to SpotDraft.

Step C: Set Adobe Sign as the Default for a Contract Type ⚙

⚠ Important: Only configure Adobe Sign as the default for contract types that use the TPP (third-party paper / uploaded DOCX) flow. Template-based contracts and T2I flows are not supported in V1 and should not be configured to use Adobe Sign.

  1. In SpotDraft, go to Manage → Contract Types.

  2. Select the relevant contract type (e.g. Vendor Agreement).

  3. Click Signatories from the top menu.

  4. Click on the Entity.

  5. Click Edit on the Default eSignature Service field.

  6. Select Adobe Sign from the dropdown and click Save.

Repeat for each contract type that should route through Adobe Sign.

The integration is fully configured. Users can now send TPP contracts for signature via Adobe Sign.

The same setting can be found for Workspaces that have 'Contract Type' settings migrated to workflows here: Workflow Manager > Select the TPP Workflow > Signature Settings > Signing Services > Default Signature Service > Adobe Sign

Verification ✅

To confirm the setup is working end-to-end:

  1. Create a test contract whose contract type/workflow is configured to use Adobe Sign.

  2. Add a test signatory and complete any required approvals.

  3. On the contract summary page click "Send for Signature".

  4. Confirm SpotDraft creates the agreement on Adobe Sign and the "View on Adobe Sign" button appears on the summary page.

  5. Click "View on Adobe Sign", place a test signature field, and send the agreement.

  6. Complete the test signing and confirm the contract transitions to "Executed" in SpotDraft with the signed document attached.

FAQs 💬

Q: What OAuth scopes are required and why?

The four required scopes (agreement_read, agreement_write, webhook_read, webhook_write) allow SpotDraft to create agreements, register webhooks to receive signing status updates, and read agreement data back in real time.

Q: Can I configure Adobe Sign for some contract types and DocuSign for others?

SpotDraft supports native eSigning by default for all workspaces. A workspace can additionally integrate with either Adobe Sign or DocuSign as a third-party service — but only one can be active at a time. Within the workspace, individual contract types can be configured to use native signing or the active third-party service for ease of use.

Q: What Adobe Sign plan is required?

A paid Adobe Sign account on the Standard Plan or higher is required. This plan includes API access, which is necessary for the integration. Free or trial plans do not support API connections.

Q: How do I disconnect or reconfigure the integration?

A: Go to Settings → Integrations → E-Signature → Adobe Sign → Setup and click Disconnect. Note that disconnecting while contracts are in "Signing" state may cause sync issues, thus the system will restrict the action until all all active agreements are completed or voided before disconnecting.
