When Acuity Scheduling and DocuSign operate independently, appointment details can become fragmented. For instance, when a client books a session, the appointment information, including date, time, and client email, is not automatically transferred to DocuSign. This results in the operations team manually entering client details into DocuSign for eSignature, leading to errors such as incorrect appointment times or missing client emails. The administrative staff spends valuable time on this repetitive task, which could be better utilized on client engagement.

Top Ways to Automate Acuity Scheduling & DocuSign

  • Automated Appointment Confirmation: Instantly send DocuSign contracts to clients upon scheduling an appointment in Acuity, ensuring they receive necessary documentation without delay.
  • Real-Time Document Status Updates: Automatically update your Acuity Scheduling calendar with the status of DocuSign documents, allowing for seamless tracking of client agreements and reducing follow-up time.
  • Streamlined Client Onboarding: Create a fully automated onboarding process where clients can schedule appointments and sign necessary documents in one smooth workflow, enhancing their experience and accelerating your sales cycle.

How to Build the Acuity Scheduling → DocuSign Sync

  1. In Acuity Scheduling, set up a webhook to trigger on the 'Appointment Scheduled' event. Use the endpoint https://your-webhook-url.com/acuity.
  2. Configure the webhook to send a payload containing the appointment details: { "appointment_id": "{{appointment.id}}", "start_time": "{{appointment.start_time}}", "client_email": "{{client.email}}" }.
  3. On your server, listen for incoming requests at the specified webhook URL and extract the necessary fields from the payload.
  4. Using the extracted data, format a POST request to the DocuSign REST API endpoint https://api.docusign.com/restapi/v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes.
  5. Include the following JSON payload in your POST request to create an envelope: { "emailSubject": "Please sign the document", "documents": [{ "documentBase64": "", "name": "Document.pdf", "fileExtension": "pdf", "documentId": "1" }], "recipients": { "signers": [{ "email": "{{client_email}}", "name": "Client Name", "recipientId": "1", "routingOrder": "1" }] }, "status": "sent" }.
  6. Ensure to replace {accountId} with your actual DocuSign account ID and with the base64 encoded content of the document to be signed.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure the client email extracted from the Acuity payload matches the email format expected by DocuSign; discrepancies can lead to failed envelope creation.
  • Be cautious with the appointment time format; if Acuity sends it in UTC and DocuSign requires a different timezone, you must convert it before sending the request.
  • When creating the envelope in DocuSign, make sure the document ID matches the expected ID in the envelope setup; otherwise, the document may not be linked correctly.
