Conga Sign API
Digital signatures have transformed contract workflows and save time for cross‑company agreements
What is our primary use case?
Conga Sign is a built-in digital signature process similar to Adobe Sign and DocuSign. We typically use it in our projects to avoid the manual signature process between two companies. Business users can utilize digital signatures, which are easy and compatible for business operations.
After a document has been set up with all pricing details, agreement, and contract information, one of the business users responsible for contracting and signatures generates the document. The document is then sent to the client or customer who must review it and provide digital signatures. In the background of Conga CPQ, we have integrated Conga Sign. When the document is sent through email to the customer, they can easily verify and review the entire document and complete the digital signatures. The document is then returned to the actual business companies.
The primary use case for Conga Sign is to process digital signatures. Previously, companies and customers who approached us were using manual processes. For several companies without the same headquarters to meet for signatures between organizations, which would occur in other countries, digital signatures have become very easy. They can send documents in online mode, and signatures can be completed in less time.
What is most valuable?
The best feature is the write-back feature in Conga Sign that integrates signature details into Salesforce. However, it only supports limited data types, but it is very useful to the users.
We used Conga Sign in our previous projects, allowing users to easily drag and drop the signature onto documents. Users do not have to do much work on signatures, mentioning the name, date, and all those details. They can simply click on a button, drag the signature onto the document, and it is easy to put digital signatures.
We have dealt with many customers and implemented and configured everything the customer required. After we delivered all the features the customer requested, we received positive feedback from the customer. Additionally, we received more customers from the same organization or from within the organization. The tool has been used in multiple companies and has proven very useful to customers and our company from a revenue perspective.
Previously, when Conga Sign did not exist, signatures between two companies were done either manually or in other ways where parties would meet face to face. After Conga Sign came into the picture, the two parties can connect online. Documents are sent online to put signatures, which is very easy through email or Outlook. The two parties have not wasted time. Time has been consumed more efficiently, revenue has increased, and their revenue has increased as well.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes Conga Sign creates issues where we have to go to Conga Sign setup and reconnect it again. Since we are using Conga Sign as a package in our Salesforce ecosystem, sometimes the package versioning has changed, so we need to check for the latest version and upgrade it. Occasionally, Conga Sign troubles us, requiring refresh actions that create some issues. This does not happen often, but it happens sometimes.
Sometimes the solution that we are providing in the document does not accept all data types. We use text, lookup, and other standard fields, but sometimes it will not allow rich text, formula fields, and those kinds of data types in a Conga Sign document.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Conga Sign for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Conga Sign is stable, and it is not complex for configuration. It is pretty easy to configure all items, and it is pretty easy for users to use as well. It is not overly complex for users to operate.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Conga Sign is very scalable, and growth has increased significantly after using it.
How are customer service and support?
When we raise a request to the support team about any issues with Conga Sign, they resolve the issue in less than 24 hours. When we use the solution's out-of-box functionality, sometimes Conga Sign functionality breaks, and fixing it takes some time, but the Conga support team is always helpful and resolves the issues very soon.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Many customers who approached us were using the manual process before. They were not following digital signatures; they were following the manual signature process for trustworthiness and other reasons. After we gave an introduction and explanation about Conga Sign, they were really impressed and are now using Conga Sign.
What about the implementation team?
We are a partner for Conga products and have a partnership with them.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For the pricing setup in Conga Sign itself, the document we use has all the pricing details, which can be read in the document. License-wise, I would say it is not very much higher or lower. For users to use Conga Sign, you need to buy the license in the Salesforce ecosystem to install the packages. I would say it is moderate, not pretty high or pretty low.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
As we have been using Conga products for a long time and Salesforce products, we typically picked Conga Sign and are using it. I am not sure if any other alternate products exist, but I would say for now, it is the best one to use.
What other advice do I have?
A signature has to be very secure and confidential. More security packages have been installed in Conga CPQ and Salesforce. It is very secure. Using AI, you cannot have data stolen from documents sent to customers.
Using AI, we can better improve Conga Sign where digitalization has been enhanced, and documentation, the UI, the text part, and the signature part can be improved. Using AI, the accuracy of the signature process can also be improved. AI will help improve this whole process.
We are deploying documents or Conga Sign features to higher environments within the Salesforce premises and Conga platform only. We do not require any other third-party applications to deploy the changes.
Salesforce is a cloud itself. We are using the Salesforce cloud itself.
It will vary between the business-to-business use case. Many businesses have saved their money and time on digital signatures using Conga Sign.
If the document is a quote or proposal, we can send only that file. We can upload and attach any file from local storage. If the customer signs the document between the two parties, the second signature should be done by the other customer. It will be notified to the other customers, and they can do signatures at both ends. It is pretty easy and simple. The signature part of the document, the digital signature, has been completed. I advise users and customers that they can go for Conga Sign. It is not overly complex, and it is not that financially expensive for the license either. I encourage users to use Conga Sign. I would rate my overall experience with this product as an 8 out of 10.
Digital signing has streamlined complex agreements and is saving time for our customers
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Conga Sign is for signing purposes. When we have any agreements, we need to get signatures using Conga Sign. We directly assign the agreements to customers, and they receive an email. Then they get the update and sign through Conga Sign.
A quick, specific example of how I recently used Conga Sign for an agreement is that we have one agreement with many products and prices. These are all the agreement details, and the customer is the seller. We generate the document and then assign it to customers. They receive an email from us, open it, and sign the document. That automatically gets assigned to the agreement.
What is most valuable?
The best features Conga Sign offers include mostly automated systems. When we generate the document, we assign it based on the customer side. After opening the agreement, we have enabled a feature that automatically goes to the sign page. If there are fifty pages in the agreement, the page where we need to sign will come up without needing to scroll through everything. The default mailing feature assigns emails based on the primary contact and will automatically populate there. That is also a best feature.
That feature works well in practice. Our customers, based on their requirements, reach out to us. Based on that, we go through the document and reach out to Conga Sign support. They suggest features that we enable, which are very good for our customers.
Conga Sign has positively impacted my organization by being more user-friendly for customers. Their work is easier, which is why it is more impactful. The customers are also very satisfied with Conga Sign.
The specific outcomes I can share are that Conga Sign is very user-friendly, which satisfies the users. It also saves time when completing the agreement signing system.
What needs improvement?
I cannot say much about how Conga Sign can be improved. As of now, I do not see any issues or necessary improvements. I can say that it would be helpful to provide more guidance. If someone is new to using Conga Sign, they need to be more aware. Providing guidance or even videos for them would be more efficient for customers as well.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Conga Sign for around one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Conga Sign is stable.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for Conga Sign is good. Based on our severity, they will respond. They will automatically follow up every time if we are not responding. If we respond quickly, then they mostly respond as soon as possible.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use any different solution before Conga Sign because we were only using proposal documents, which did not have signing features. Recently, we introduced CLM, and that is when we started using Conga Sign.
How was the initial setup?
My advice for others looking into using Conga Sign is that it is more user-friendly and easy to set up. However, the solution is not available for everyone. Thus, you should provide KTs or videos that will be more useful for new customers. You need to promote the features better because if customers are not familiar, they cannot use them.
What was our ROI?
I saved time with Conga Sign. I cannot provide metrics for people saved.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I am not sure if I evaluated other options before choosing Conga Sign. I am not the source of selecting that feature and did not conduct this analysis and R&D.
Easy CRM Integration, Automation, and Time-Saving Customizable Templates
Similarly no printing and other stuff helps reducing costs
It’s highly scalable so its easy to support enterprise of any sizes
Easy to Use and Integrated with SalesForce for Fast Contract Sending
Digital signing has accelerated contract closures and supports fast tracking of multi-party deals
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Conga Sign is gathering customers' signatures on the final document. Capturing digital signatures is relatively easy compared to correcting signatures manually on printed documents from multiple parties, which can be time-consuming and often leads to abandoning the deal before document signatures are complete, potentially resulting in business loss.
I have used Conga Sign for all our contracts, proposals, and information forms. We use it within Salesforce, so we can have merge fields and write-back fields associated with different objects and records.
Regarding my main use case, it is excellent for contracts and anywhere else where signatures or document tracking is required. We use it on some documents for tracking only, and it is less appropriate in those instances, but the tracking history is truly valuable for our sales team.
How has it helped my organization?
Conga Sign has positively impacted my organization as it has helped us close deals within timelines. It allows the forwarding of documents to relevant parties, which helps in case the email is triggered to the wrong person. Conga Sign uses the latest legal regulations for digital signatures, which helps build trust with our clients.
What is most valuable?
The best features Conga Sign offers include agreements being sent digitally, which reduces the time to get printed documents. I have the option to forward to a relevant party where I might not be the correct person. It reduces turnaround time. Taking signatures from multiple stakeholders can be done digitally.
I find all the features very excellent and helpful, and they make the signing process efficient. I also love Conga Sign's Salesforce integration as it provides document tracking, which is great.
I really appreciate the point and click interface, which does not require user training from our side. The signing process is also very easy and fast for the end-user, which makes the quoting cycle relatively quicker.
It makes it relatively easy to capture digital signatures rather than collecting signatures manually on printed documents from multiple parties, thereby saving a lot of time.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes we require sending multiple documents for signatures, which is still not supported. This could be improved.
I would like to add that some businesses still do not consider digital signing of critical documents a legitimate way.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Conga Sign for three to four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Conga Sign is stable, fast, relevant, and reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Conga Sign's scalability is impressive as it can handle my organization's growth, especially the increased volume of documents. It handles them very well.
How are customer service and support?
Conga Sign customer support is very solution-oriented. They are always on time to resolve any issues. They are very proactive and active 24/7.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign.
I switched from DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign to Conga Sign because I prefer Conga Sign as it offers seamless integration with my other Conga products, such as Conga CPQ, Conga CLM, and Salesforce. Integration is very easy, and documents can get triggered for signatures with just a click.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that this tool is very cost-effective.
What about the implementation team?
I use Amazon as my cloud provider.
I purchased Conga Sign through the AWS Marketplace.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment because agreements are sent digitally, which reduces the time to get printed documents. I have the option to forward to a relevant party where I might not be the correct person, reducing turnaround while taking signatures from multiple stakeholders digitally. It also helps increase our business as we get signatures from concerned parties easily and quickly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that this tool is very cost-effective.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Conga Sign, I evaluated other options, including Amazon Web Services and Conga Grid.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for others looking into using Conga Sign is that it is well suited for most clients who have trust in digital signatures and want to reduce turnaround. However, there are still some clients who do not prefer digital signatures and prefer printed agreements with wet signatures. Conga Sign uses the latest digital signing legal regulations, so this is a customer-to-customer issue. I have given this review a rating of 9.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Digital signatures have replaced manual processes and save significant time for merchant documents
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Conga Sign so far is to send documents to our merchants. A quick specific example of a document I've sent to my merchants using Conga Sign is the terms and conditions.
What is most valuable?
Conga Sign offers ease of operations as one of its best features from my brief experience. Conga Sign's ease of operations comes from its speed. Conga Sign has positively impacted my organization by eliminating a lot of overhead, and we could move our applications. The kind of overhead that has been eliminated includes manual signatures.
What needs improvement?
Everything is satisfactory based on my initial experience. However, different languages would be a needed improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Conga Sign for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Conga Sign is stable in my experience so far.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Conga Sign's scalability is good from what I've seen or expect.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support looks good to me; I have had no interactions with them yet.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
This is my first solution; I did not previously use a different solution before Conga Sign.
How was the initial setup?
I purchased Conga Sign through the AWS Marketplace. My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing could be better.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment; I save a lot of time. I cannot really estimate how much time I'm saving now compared to before using Conga Sign.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would have liked to see a 20 to 25% reduction in price with the pricing, setup cost, or licensing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing Conga Sign.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Conga Sign is to use it to reduce time overhead. My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer; we are partners. I find this interview good and do not think anything should change for the future. I am providing this review a rating of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Has improved document signing workflows and enables quick setup across teams
What is our primary use case?
I have used Conga Sign mostly on the sales part. For example, for the company called XYZ, we generate the document, and once the negotiation is completed, we need to send the document for the signing part, requiring a signing sequence: first to the customers, then to the business team, which means the XYZ company heads. We use Conga Sign for that, and if we have more than one or two signers, we can add all the predefined sign tags in the document itself or include custom sign tags while sending the document in the signature part.
What is most valuable?
Conga Sign is mainly used for signing documents from the customer side and the business side, providing a digital signature solution that is easy to configure, set up, and debug. From a business perspective, users can directly send for the signature manually using the tags.
The best features are that it is easy to sign and provides immediate email notifications. We receive emails immediately and the configuration takes less than 10 to 15 minutes, plus we can add tags to any PDF documents for signing.
Conga Sign has positively impacted my organization as it is a crucial part of many projects. In fact, we use Conga Sign in most of our projects directly.
What needs improvement?
From my perspective, there is no need for improvement as all projects have been completed quickly. If it were possible to send multiple documents for signatures immediately as a batch without having a user interface, that would be useful. For example, for one year, we need to send documents for signatures for additional terms and conditions, and if we had a setup for bulk signing, it would be more beneficial.
We mostly need to update the UI for bulk document signatures. If a feature for that were available, it would be more useful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Conga Sign for the past four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There have been no stability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Its scalability is good.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is proactively working. If we raise any issue, we get immediate resolution, and I rate it 9.5 to 10.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use another solution previously. I implemented this application for customers rather than from the business side.
How was the initial setup?
Quick setup means that once we install Conga Sign, we go to Conga Sign setup from the App Launcher, and we can follow the step-by-step process on the left side, clicking one by one until it automatically sets up the signature part. For emails, we will have checkbox fields on the Conga Sign setup page; whoever needs signing can be selected with those checkboxes, allowing us to use that feature directly instead of writing code.
From the business side, we see that anyone can set up Conga Sign within 10 to 15 minutes without needing a developer, and we experience no issues with it. If more customization is needed, then we check with the product team from Conga.
What about the implementation team?
We deploy Conga Sign by installing it through the AppExchange and can install this application from any of the clouds, not limited to a specific one.
What was our ROI?
For Conga Sign, we have saved a lot of time sending digital signatures and can send reminder emails automatically instead of checking with customers directly, which saves a lot of time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I think Conga charges around $1 for one signature, but I am not exactly familiar with the cost for Conga Sign.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options. I have used Conga Sign straight away, although we also have DocuSign and Adobe Sign, we primarily use Conga Sign.
What other advice do I have?
The first thing is to compare the pricing and features of Conga Sign, as it is implemented purely from the Salesforce side, unlike DocuSign or Adobe Sign, which require integration with third-party applications. That is the best feature I can highlight about Conga Sign.
My company is a partner for Conga.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate Conga Sign a 10.
Conga Sign
User-friendly setup enhances contract signing process
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use Conga Sign through our Salesforce integration when we send out contracts for sales. A small percentage, about one percent of our usage, is for internal purposes where we send documents for sales reps to sign off on, like their annual plans.
What is most valuable?
The setup is user-friendly, allowing us to easily drag and drop tags onto our document from an ad hoc standpoint. Prepopulating tags in contract templates is straightforward, making the usability of the setup a top feature for me.
What needs improvement?
If there was the ability to have some kind of warning or alert for sales reps, indicating that a contract is already out for signature before they send a second one, it would greatly reduce confusion. Currently, when reps send out a new contract for signature without canceling the previous one, it leads to unnecessary reminder notifications.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Conga Sign for about seven years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Outside of larger outages, there aren't specific stability issues with Conga. Our biggest problem is that some customer firewalls block the documents, preventing them from receiving or opening emails with the link.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Conga Sign is scalable, but the whitelisting issue is the biggest hurdle. Some customers question why we don't use DocuSign because their systems readily accept it.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't had to use Conga Sign's technical support team. My only experience is related to the composer tool, where they were helpful for an issue we had.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We initially used DocuSign and then a free document generator. As our business grew, we upgraded to Conga for superior Salesforce document generation and bundled Conga Sign with our contracts. The switch was primarily due to cost savings.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was pretty straightforward, likely one of the easier implementations I've done. As long as one follows the instructions, anyone can do it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
From our experience, Conga Sign was almost half the price of DocuSign. With a smaller scale, the cost savings didn't significantly impact us despite initially having only about thirty licenses.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Our experience is limited to DocuSign from an e-signature standpoint.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Conga Sign, especially for mid to small-sized organizations. If a company works around the firewall blocking issue, it is scalable and great to have both the composer and e-signature tool together. Prior to being acquired, Conga Sign was a perfect fit for us. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Conga Sign an eight.
