Sending a Hellosign Contract
Click the “Use HelloSign” Button:
In the “Use a template” click the “Select Template” field and select the appropriate template:
Please Note: A list of available templates will automatically appear but if you do not see the one you need, try typing its name to pull it up.
Click “Start”
On this page, you can update the message that will be included when the contract is sent to the Company contact.
Once the Subject and message are complete, click “Preview Document” in the top right corner.
Review all Salesforce merge fields to ensure proper formatting and content, please note:
You can Move the merge fields around on this page
You can edit the text of the merge fields but this will not update the fields on the Lead - if the information is incorrect it is best to cancel the contract, update the Lead and start over.
Click “Send”
You will receive email notifications when the lead views or signs or declines the contract
Once the Contract has been signed it will appear as a PDF in the “Notes & Attachments” section at the bottom of a lead and be carried over when the lead is converted into a contact.
Send a one time/custom contract: HelloSign allows us to send one off contracts, this is how Advisory Services contracts will be sent but you may also find other use cases for this feature. When sending a onetime contract merge fields do no work so the content of the contract must be completely filled out either in Google Docs or Microsoft Word prior to putting the contract into HelloSIgn

Signers
This drop-down menu defines who has to fill out a given field.
Select “Lead.Customer” to assign a field to the lead and “Sender” to make the field auto-fill from Salesforce
In general, you will add a “Signature Field” a “Date Signed” Auto-Fill Field and 3 Text Fields ( Billing name, phone and email) that are assigned to the Lead.Customer but depending on your use case there may be other fields you want to assign to the lead.
To create a field that auto-fills from sales for you need to set the “Signer” to “Sender,” then drag and drop a textbox or checkbox to where you want the field and finally set the “What Goes here” to the appropriate field.
Once all of your fields are placed correctly and auto fill is set to the requirements click “Continue” in the top right corner.
