Two-Factor Authentication
DocuSign integration supports two-factor authentication via SMS and Phone Call.
This functionality needs to be enabled on your DocuSign subscription. If you would like to enable this contact DocuSign Support here. Required prerequisites for two-factor authentication:
- Contact/User valid email address
- Contact/User valid mobile phone number
How to use two-factor authentication
When sending your document for signature via the integration:
- Enable two-factor authentication option
- Select Phone or SMS
- Generate your document
Note
Gold-Vision integration with DocuSign will use the mobile number against the Contact or User to send the authentication code to.
If the mobile number is not setup with a country code the integration will use the country code based on the Address Preference field.
Note
The recipient will receive an email with the request to sign the document from DocuSign asking to authenticate via their mobile phone number in order to be able to sign the document.
