When does DocuSign fire on envelope completion?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the DocuSign Envelope Completed trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a DocuSign webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

FAQ

Questions about Envelope Completed.

How does the Envelope Completed trigger work in DocuSign?

Fires when the last recipient signs and the envelope completes. Payload includes the envelopeId, signer audit trail, and a pointer to the completed PDF. The hook for "contract signed → provision the customer / update the deal stage / kick off onboarding".

Is the Envelope Completed trigger real-time?

Yes. Envelope Completed uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in DocuSign.

What data does Envelope Completed return?

The full event payload from DocuSign. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Envelope Completed so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need DocuSign admin permissions to use Envelope Completed?

For most DocuSign accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some DocuSign plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check DocuSign's docs if the trigger fails to register.
