Using Docusign for mass document generation with Avvoka simplifies and automates the creation and execution of large volumes of customized documents. This integration streamlines processes by allowing users to generate unique document suites for multiple recipients simultaneously, reducing manual effort and time.

Docusign supports mass generation exercises. You can watch a video showing this process here.

Avvoka's Mass Generation feature streamlines the process of creating unique document suites for large groups of individuals.

Setting up your template with Docusign tags

It's essential to configure your document templates with the necessary Docusign fields. You can do so on your template where you can add signature fields and other important tags in the Avvoka editor, ensuring each document is prepared for execution through Docusign. By setting up these fields in advance, you can streamline the process and reduce manual adjustments later on.

To get started, go to the Automation’ tab and select the ‘Insert Docusign tag’ button

. A pop-up will then appear, allowing you to add Docusign fields like ‘Name’ and ‘Type’. The latter contains a dropdown menu from where you can add the following types of fields on your template as per your needs:

  • Signature

  • Signature Date

  • Post-date

  • Text

Sending documents to Docusign

Upon starting the mass document generation, placeholders are visible on the initial screen. These placeholders allow you to create custom emails that automatically populate with details like "[Name]" and "[Email]" for each document. For instance, your email can say "Dear [Name]" and if your envelope recipient is called "Jane", she will receive an email saying "Dear Jane".

After filling in the email contents, you could also add new attachment using the "Add new attachment" button on the next page to upload a PDF or a Word attachment to the envelope.

On the next screen, you can group recipients using placeholders so those with the same email and name, for example, will receive the document together as a group.

Before dispatching, mark documents as drafts to review for accuracy. If desired, untick the box to send them directly. For clarity, assign an internal name to each batch of envelopes.

After sending the documents, you'll receive a summary with details on recipients and the quantity each received. You can group documents by matching names and emails, ensuring they’re sent together. The documents will be sent to the emails provided in the questionnaire completed before mass generation.

You can choose to personalise each email. For instance, if you have two placeholders in the document: Email and Name. Remember to add the email addresses as attributes in the template beforehand. Emails can be inputted in the relevant question within the questionnaire (you can use custom questions using explanatory text if they will not be used in the document body).

If you marked your envelopes as "Drafts" you can review them directly in Docusign (under the "Manage" tab) by visiting your Docusign account, edit them if needed and then send them out.
