  • Request an electronic signature through the Adobe Sign service. When the case state changes to Ready, the flow triggers and creates Adobe Sign tasks for all of the signers. For parallel signing, the tasks are assigned all at once. For serial signing, the tasks are created in the order defined.

    What to do next

    When the case state changes to Ready, the flow triggers and creates Adobe Sign tasks for all of the signers. For parallel signing, the tasks are assigned all at once. For serial signing, the tasks are created in the order defined.

    Signers must complete their Adobe Sign tasks through a self-service portal such as the Employee Center. The Adobe Sign task is displayed as a URL in the to-dos page in the Employee Center.

    On clicking the URL, the signer is directed to the Adobe Sign system to sign the document. After completing the task, the signer is redirected to the to-dos page in the Employee Center. The status of the Adobe Sign task is not updated immediately because the callback is asynchronous.

    Note:
    • The Adobe Sign tasks are created using the HR task template named the Adobe Sign task template.
    • Auto-close integration type tasks are created using the HR task template.
    • Users with the sn_hr_core.admin role can track the flow execution with the Show Flow related link. If a case is canceled from platform, you must manually cancel the associated flow. Otherwise, the flow remains in waiting. To cancel the flow, click the Show Flow related link to open the flow designer in a new window, and then click Cancel Flow.
