Customizing OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce

This section discusses the following topics, which are relevant to customizing your installation of OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce:

OneSpan Sign also has an out-of-the-box Integration Platform that allows you to use a single solution to connect eSignatures to your favorite business applications in an easy, secure, and cost-efficient way. For more information, see OneSpan Sign With Salesforce.

Connecting Salesforce to your OneSpan Sign Instance

To connect Salesforce to your OneSpan Sign instance:

  1. From Salesforce, search for the OneSpan Sign app. This opens the OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce app.
  2. On the OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce menu, click the Admin tab. The Admin page appears.
  3. If you are already connected to a OneSpan Sign environment, the Website URL on the Configuration tab displays the OneSpan Sign URL to which the application points. If you want to change this environment:
    1. Click Disconnect and click Continue.
    2. Select the appropriate Environment from the drop-down list:
      • US Production: apps.esignlive.com
      • US Classic Interface Production: apps.e-signlive.com

Integrating with Chatter

Chatter is a social-networking tool in Salesforce that lets users work together, talk to each other, and share information — all in real time. Integrating Chatter with OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce enables connector users to access this built-in Notification Center. Users can choose to be notified when a transaction/template state changes, and they can select which notifications they will receive.

This section describes:

Enabling Chatter Feed Tracking for Transaction/Template Objects

To enable this feature, your organization must have enabled Chatter. If you have installed OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce for the first time, this feature is already enabled. However, if you are upgrading from a previous version of OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce, you may need to enable this feature manually. If so, perform the following procedure.

To enable Chatter Feed Tracking for OneSpan Sign transaction and template objects in Lightning Experience:

  1. Go to Setup > Customize > Chatter > Feed Tracking. The Feed Tracking page appears.

  2. In the Object column, click the OneSpan Sign Transaction/Template Object.

Managing Chatter Settings

The following procedure enables an OneSpan Sign Embedded Integration for Salesforce Admin to manage certain of their organization's Chatter settings.

To manage your organization's Chatter settings, select one of the following options from the OneSpan Sign Admin page:

  • Disabled — If this option is selected: (1) Chatter settings are hidden on the OneSpan Sign Admin Configuration page; (2) the Enable Chatter Updates field is hidden and unchecked on all new transactions and templates; (3) nonetheless, the Enable Chatter Updates field remains visible on sent or completed transactions if those transactions had the option enabled before they were sent or completed.
  • Enabled and On by Default — If this option is selected: (1) the Chatter settings are visible on the Admin Configuration page; (2) the Enable Chatter Updates field is visible and checked on new transactions and templates.
  • Enabled and Off by Default — If this option is selected: (1) the Chatter settings are visible on the Admin Configuration page; (2) the Enable Chatter Updates field is visible and unchecked on new transactions and templates.

Changing Preferences for Chatter Notifications

Chatter posts appear on the transaction and template detail page feed. Anyone following a transaction and template record will see Chatter updates on their Chatter feed.

To change the preferences for your organization's Chatter notifications:
