We will introduce how to streamline contract management through the integration of DocuSign and Microsoft Excel. By automatically updating information in Microsoft Excel when a contract is completed, you can maintain data integrity and expect smooth business operations while reducing effort.
Let's aim to improve work efficiency from today, with explanations accompanied by images.
Benefits of Integrating DocuSign and Microsoft Excel
Benefit 1: Streamlining Management by Automatically Updating Excel Data After Contract Completion
When a contract is completed with DocuSign, the information in Microsoft Excel is automatically updated, which can improve data management efficiency. This eliminates the need to manually update Microsoft Excel every time a contract is completed.
For example, when a new contract is established, it is automatically reflected in the customer list or transaction history in Microsoft Excel, ensuring data integrity and reducing the risk of double entry. This keeps contract information up-to-date, allowing the next steps to proceed smoothly. When managing multiple contracts simultaneously, eliminating the need for manual updates can also save time and ensure data collectability.
Benefit 2: Improving Communication Efficiency
When a contract is completed with DocuSign, the data in Microsoft Excel is automatically updated, enhancing the transparency of contract management and improving business efficiency.
Through the integration of DocuSign and Microsoft Excel, contract information is automatically reflected in Microsoft Excel after completion. This allows the entire team to easily access the latest contract data, speeding up information verification and sharing. In particular, since the progress of contracts can be seen at a glance, unnecessary communication and verification tasks are reduced, potentially improving business efficiency. For example, if all stakeholders can check the progress every time a contract is completed, it may be possible to quickly proceed with the next actions.
How to Create a Flow for Integrating DocuSign and Microsoft Excel
Let's set up the flow using Yoom to integrate DocuSign and Microsoft Excel. <span class="mark-yellow">This flow is about "updating information in Microsoft Excel when a contract is completed with DocuSign."</span>
Integrate Yoom with DocuSign and Microsoft Excel as My Apps
Set Up an App Trigger in DocuSign
Configure Settings to Retrieve Information in DocuSign
Configure Settings to Update Information in Microsoft Excel
You can complete the setup in four steps without programming knowledge. Copy the template from the "Try it" banner below and let's proceed with the setup together!
[What is Yoom]
Step 1: Connect DocuSign and Microsoft Excel to My Apps
First, connect the apps you will use this time with Yoom. After logging into Yoom, click "My Apps" → "+ New Connection" in the left menu.
Search for DocuSign and Microsoft Excel respectively, and proceed with the input according to the displayed content. Enter login information, and once the connection is made, it will be displayed in the My Apps list, so please check.
If DocuSign is also displayed in the same way, the My Apps connection is complete. Next, let's move on to the specific settings of the app. If you haven't copied it yet, please copy the Flowbot template below.
1. Hover over the banner and click "View Details" 2. Click "Try This Template" on the page you moved to 3. Register for Yoom ※ If you have already completed registration, the login screen will be displayed, so please log in.
Step 2: Set Up App Trigger in DocuSign
Click the first contact "When the envelope is completed". On the first page, the account information of DocuSign linked with My Apps is reflected, so please check it.
You can change the title to something that is easy for you to understand. If you are running multiple of the same flow, we recommend changing the title to differentiate them.
Since the trigger action cannot be changed, proceed to the next step after checking the account information. On the next page, set up the trigger using a Webhook. A Webhook is a mechanism that automatically notifies other services when an event occurs.
In this flow, the role of the Webhook is to notify (update information) Microsoft Excel when a contract is completed in DocuSign.
Copy the displayed URL and set it in the DocuSign management screen while checking the contents of the precautions. Once the setup is complete, click "Test" to obtain the output.
This output will be used in later settings, so please check if it is obtained correctly and click "Save". This completes the app trigger setup.
Step 3: Set Up Information Retrieval in DocuSign
Next, move on to the settings for "Retrieve Information of a Specific Envelope". On the first page, just check the account information as in the trigger setup and proceed to the next step.
On the next page, set which information to retrieve within DocuSign.
Obtain the account ID and reflect the previously obtained output in the envelope ID. Once both are entered, click "Test" to obtain the output.
This output will be used when updating information in Microsoft Excel. After confirming, click "Save" to complete the information retrieval settings.
Step 4: Set Up Record Update in Microsoft Excel
Finally, click "Update Record". On the first page, check the title, account information, etc., and fill in the "Database Integration" section below.
Select either OneDrive or SharePoint as the data storage location, and enter or select each item. Once everything is entered, click "Next" to check if the integration is successful.
Next, move on to setting conditions for the update.
In the specified table, search for the record to be updated based on condition ①. In the image above, the setting is to search for ID (sheet row name) = envelope ID.
Next, set which items of the searched record to update with which information. Select the obtained output in the corresponding field.
After entering the necessary information, click "Test", and if there are no issues, click "Save" to complete all settings. Finally, turn on the trigger to run the flow.
Now, the information on the specified Microsoft Excel sheet will be updated after a contract is concluded in DocuSign!

Other Automation Examples Using DocuSign and Microsoft Excel
Here are many other examples of automation using DocuSign and Microsoft Excel available on Yoom.
1. By integrating DocuSign with kintone, you can automatically send contracts via DocuSign when the status in kintone is updated. This eliminates the need to manually check status updates, leading to quicker responses.
2. Microsoft Excel is not only useful for managing contracts but also for organizing email information. When you receive an email in Yoom, the information is summarized by AI and automatically stored in Microsoft Excel. You can specify the conditions for storing emails, which will also be helpful for accumulating information.
Summary
With the integration of DocuSign and Microsoft Excel, not only can contract management proceed efficiently, but communication between teams is also expected to improve. By using Yoom, you can set up this automation without any programming knowledge. If you want to streamline your operations without complex procedures, start utilizing this convenient feature today. Reduce the time spent on data updating tasks and create an environment where you can focus on other important tasks.

I have been an SEO writer for 5 years and have continued to write under the motto “easy to read” and “easy to convey.”
I want to bring the convenience of Yoom, which can be linked to apps without programming knowledge, to many people!
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
