Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Docusign, FreshBooks, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Docusign and FreshBooks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Docusign and FreshBooks (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Docusign and FreshBooks
Docusign + FreshBooks + Google Sheets: When a Docusign envelope status is updated to 'completed', the automation finds the corresponding invoice in FreshBooks. Then, it adds a row in Google Sheets containing details from both the Docusign envelope and the FreshBooks invoice for reporting purposes.
FreshBooks + Docusign + Slack: When a new invoice is created in FreshBooks, the automation sends a contract document from Docusign to the client using a specified template. After sending the document, a notification is sent to a Slack channel to inform the team about the completed action.
