DocuSign's eSignature service now integrates with Slack

DocuSign and Slack on Monday announced a new collaboration that will integrate DocuSign's eSignature tool into Slack's workplace collaboration platform. The integration will allow users to send and sign documents with eSignature directly within the Slack application.

DocuSign, which is hyper focused on its Agreement Cloud amid digital transformation efforts and remote work, said the integration is ideal for sales or HR applications. 

"We are thrilled to partner with Slack to simplify everyday processes for our joint users," said Jerome Levadoux, GVP of Sign at DocuSign. "As remote work becomes prevalent, we are seeing more customers moving away from email in favor of more collaborative tools and channels. Our new eSignature integration makes it easier for teams to get work done by streamlining the process of sending and signing important documents natively in Slack."
