Issue: An active Salesforce user is not getting auto-provisioned to the linked Adobe Acrobat Sign account.

Resolution steps:

  1. Verify that the Disable User Provisioning option is not enabled for the user.
  2. Verify that Adobe Acrobat Sign Email Verified check box is not selected.
  3. If the Adobe Acrobat Sign Email Verified checkbox is selected or was selected in the past, you must manually add the user from the Adobe Acrobat Sign UI.
  4. Update the User Details page of the user in Salesforce with a first name on the First Name field.
  5. If you do not see the Adobe Acrobat Sign Email Verified check box, you must manually add it to the User Details page layout. To do so:
    1. Navigate to Set up > Object Manager > User
    2. Select User Page Layouts and then select User Layout for the user.  
    3. Drag and drop the field named Adobe Acrobat Sign Email Verified field to the Additional Information section.
  6. Disable Send on behalf of... feature.

If you've enabled account sharing on your Acrobat Sign account, the users that are not included in the agreement can’t view the agreement in the Salesforce environment, unless:

  • The agreement was created from a shared library template in the Adobe Acrobat Sign library.
  • The library template is shared in a manner that includes the viewer via: (a) Shared for all users in the account, or (b) Shared at the group level, where the sender and viewer are in the same group.

Note: You can use Adobe Acrobat Sign to view the agreement.

If your agreements status is not getting updated even when the agreement is completed and signed, you must enable automatic status updates for your organization. If the agreement's status does not get updated even after enabling the setting, see how to troubleshoot failure in the automatic status udpate.

You can redirect the signers to a desired URL after they have completed the signing process. To do so:

  1. On the Acrobat Sign for Salesforce lighting page, select Agreements Templates > New Agreement Template
  2. Select Rules tab.
  3. In the Post Sign Redirect URL field, enter the desired URL.
  4. Optionally, you can specify a delay (in seconds) before redirecting the users.

A business contract process is a system of interconnected steps with various stages from initiating an agreement to the final steps of closing a deal. The tasks involved during the different stages of a contract are vital to contract management but instead of manually tracking each task, you can automate these tasks by configuring Flows on Adobe Acrobat Sign for Salesforce.

See how to Automate your contract processes.

Document Builder is an Adobe Acrobat Sign for Salesforce feature that provides the ability to automatically generate documents using Salesforce data. See how to use Document Builder.

Acrobat Sign Data Mappings update Salesforce objects when an Acrobat Sign agreement is signed or at a specified stage in the agreement workflow. Each Data Mapping is set up ahead of time and includes data mapping rules that define the data source and the target Salesforce field that it must update.

See how to configure Data and Merge Mappings.

To share signable documents on community portals, see Adobe Acrobat Sign for Self Signing.

To use a digital experience component that allows a developer to embed the signature templates into other Lightning components, see Adobe Acrobat Sign for Simple Signing.

In case of Data/Merge Mapping error in a record, you must look under the following columns in the Agreement list view for that record:

  • Merge Mapping: To identify which Merge mapping is selected.
  • Merge Mapping Result: Processing/Completed/Failed - This picklist tells the status of the Merge Mapping.
  • Merge Mapping Error: To know the cause of Merge Mapping failure.
  • Data Mapping: To know which Data mapping is selected.
  • Data Mapping Error: To know the cause of Data Mapping failure.
  • Data Mapping Result: Processing/Completed/Failed  - This picklist tells the status of the Data Mapping.

By default, these fields (columns) are not added to the Agreement list view. See how to add these columns to the Agreement list view.

Adobe Acrobat Sign Authentication Error: access_denied error can occur while installing the Adobe Acrobat Sign package or when a user sends an agreement through the Acrobat Sign for Salesforce integration for the first time. This error indicates that the user lacks the necessary permissions for the action.

There are several possible reasons for authentication errors during package installation:

  • Incorrect or restricted userID in Adobe Acrobat Sign.
  • Improper configuration of the Adobe Acrobat Sign account as an enterprise account.
  • The account not associated with the correct channel.

Authentication errors when sending an agreement can be attributed to:

  • The user not being in the correct Adobe Acrobat Sign account.
  • User's sending authority is revoked.

Invalid refresh token error indicates that the access tokens are not valid anymore. Admin-induced changes affecting the Acrobat Sign integration may result in the revocation of the access token.

To resolve the error, Salesforce admins must re-run the Acrobat Sign setup wizard using the steps below:

  1. Log into your Salesforce account and then select Adobe Acrobat Sign Admin tab.
  2. Under Account Settings, select Launch Setup Wizard.
  3. When prompted to sign in, enter your Acrobat Sign admin credentials. 
  4. On the Enable Adobe Sign Automatic Status Updates page, enter your Salesforce credentials when prompted and then selct Enable.

Note: Only Adobe Acrobat Sign admin user credentials can be used to run the Acrobat Sign setup wizard.

To resovle this error, you must add the endpoint to the Remote Sites using the following steps:

  1. Log into your Salesforce account.
  2. Go to Setup > Security > Remote Site Settings.
  3. Select New Remote Site.
  4. On the Remote Site Edit page, fill in the following details:
  5. In the Remote Site Name field, enter the site name.
  6. In the Remote Site URL field, enter the site URL.
  7. Select Save.

"Invalid user ID or email provided in x-API-user header" error can occur if the email address passed as a sender in x-api-user header is not part of the Acorbat Sign account with which the integration is set up in Salesforce.

To resolve the error, you must enter the Acrobat Sign account's registered email address in the Salesforce profile using these steps:

  1. From the Salesforce lightning page, select the profile icon and then select Settings
  2. From the left panel, select My Personal Information > Personal Information.
  3. In the Email field, enter the email address that you used to register your Adobe Acrobat Sign account.
