How to map the picklist in Salesforce to Radio Buttons in DocuSign


I have a field in Salesforce that is a picklist type (dropdown list). When a user picks an option from the picklist, and selects the "send with DocuSign" button in Salesforce, I want to have an appropriate radio button to be selected inside Docusign.

radio buttons in DocuSign -> picklist in Salesforce


Solution

  • Create the DocuSign Custom Radio Button Group

    • In DocuSign, go to My Preferences > Custom Fields
    • Click Add New Field
    • Select the Type of Radio Button from the drop-down
    • Enter the Radio Button Group Name in the Name field (i.e. My Radio Buttons)
    • Enter the desired Radio Button Value in the Tooltip field (i.e. Radio One)
    • Click Save
    • Repeat steps if you have more than one button

    Then create a custom DocuSign connect object

    • In DocuSign Admin go to Connect and Select your Salesforce Connect Configuration
    • Under Connect Objects, select New Object > Salesforce Object
    • Select Activate Object
    • Enter a Name for your Object in the Object Name field (i.e. My Radio Button to Picklist Test)
    • Under Select Salesforce Object, pick the Object you are sending from (i.e. Opportunity)
    • Under Select Where > Saleforce.com Field, select Opportunity ID (id)
    • Under Select Where > DocuSign Field, select Envelope External Source ID
    • Under Update Fields > Saleforce.com Field, select the Picklist you created in Salesforce (i.e. My Picklist)
    • Under Update Fields > DocuSign Field, select Recipient Secure Field, then enter the name of your Radio Button Group (i.e. My Radio Buttons)
    • Click Save
