Hi everyone,
I am facing an issue with the DocuSign Apps Launcher package in a Salesforce Lightning environment. I recently switched from a free trial account to a paid eSignature subscription.
The entire signing process and routing loop work perfectly—the email template goes out via our custom button, the internal user signs, the candidate signs, and the envelope status reaches "Completed" in DocuSign. However, no data is writing back to Salesforce.
What I Have Done / Configured:
- Object: Custom object Job_Application__c
- Document Writeback: Checked “Save completed documents back to the Salesforce Job_Application__c Record” with the filename format set to “Document Name + Envelope Status +.pdf”.
- Field Updates: Under the Options step, I have mapped three specific background field updates based on envelope events:
- Envelope Completed $\rightarrow$ Updates a custom checkbox field Candidate Accepted Offer to True (Checked)
- Envelope Declined $\rightarrow$ Updates a custom checkbox field Candidate Rejected Offer to True (Checked)
- Envelope Voided $\rightarrow$ Updates a custom checkbox field Candidate Rejected Offer to True (Checked)
- Permissions: I am running this process using a System Administrator profile.
- Validation Rules: There are no validation rules active on the Job_Application__c object that would block edits or file attachments.
The Issue:
Even though the envelope finishes successfully on the DocuSign side, the completed offer letter PDF does not attach to the record's Notes & Attachments / Files related list, and the custom checkbox fields remain unchecked (False).
Note: Interestingly, this entire automation loop worked flawlessly when I was testing it on a free trial DocuSign account. The issue only started after migrating to the official paid eSignature subscription plan.
Has anyone encountered this sync drop after changing subscriptions? Where should I look to ensure the background webhook/DocuSign Connect interface is properly authorized to push data back into Salesforce?
Any guidance or troubleshooting steps would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Try re-authorizing the DocuSign System Transfer User.
When we upgrade from a trial to a paid subscription, DocuSign often provisions a new Account ID. If our Salesforce organization is still trying to listen for updates from our old trial Account ID, or if the background integration user wasn't re-authenticated against the new paid production account, writebacks will silently fail.
- In Salesforce, open the App Launcher (nine dots) and select DocuSign Apps Launcher.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Look for the DocuSign System User or Connection section.
- Click Disconnect or Log Out, and then choose Connect.
- Crucial: Ensure you log in using the credentials for your new paid production DocuSign account, not the old trial credentials.
- Grant permissions when prompted. This refreshes the OAuth tokens and updates the background webhook listener.
