OpenText Core Signature - Salesforce CRM Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Core Signature and Salesforce CRM

1. Sales Contract Generation and Signature Capture

Sales teams can generate quotes, order forms, or customer agreements in Salesforce and send them directly to OpenText Core Signature for legally binding e-signature. Once signed, the executed document is automatically returned to Salesforce and attached to the opportunity or account record.

2. Customer Onboarding Document Workflow

When a new customer is created in Salesforce, onboarding documents such as service agreements, consent forms, or welcome packets can be routed to OpenText Core Signature for signature. After completion, the signed files and audit trail are synced back to Salesforce for customer service and account management teams.

4. HR and Employee-Related Customer-Facing Approvals

In organizations where Salesforce is used for partner, contractor, or field service management, documents such as NDAs, service acknowledgements, or compliance forms can be initiated from Salesforce and signed through OpenText Core Signature. Signed documents are then linked to the relevant contact, case, or partner record in Salesforce.

This enables automated follow-up tasks, alerts, and pipeline reporting based on signature completion.
