Setup Guide

Overview

This Setup Guide is intended to help Procore administrators sign-up for, deploy, and configure the Dropbox Sign for Procore integration. This guide is intended for existing Procore customers and covers the setup for both existing and new Dropbox Sign customers.

New Client Registration

For Procore customers that are ready to start using the Dropbox Sign integration, both production and trial accounts are available.

First, send an e-mail to hellosign.support@teamim.com with the following information:

  • Do you already have a Procore subscription?
    • If yes, please contact us as we need some information to register the App
    • If no, please contact Procore to obtain an appropriate subscription
  • Do you already have a Dropbox Sign subscription?
    • If yes, please contact us as we need some information to register the App
    • If no, let us know and we can assist with procuring a suitable subscription or trial

You will receive a response requesting additional details depending on the answer to these questions.

Once the details are finalized, a subscription order and terms of service will be sent for signature.

Install the App

Once the terms are in place, your Procore client ID will be allowed to make requests to the Dropbox Sign for Procore integration. To install the integration, login to Procore as an administrator and browse to the marketplace.

Perform a search for Dropbox Sign and browse to the marketplace listing.

Click the Login to Install button and enter valid credentials to finish installing the app.

Create a Document with Text Tags

In order for your document to work with the Dropbox Sign for Procore integration, it must use text tags. Text tags tell Dropbox Sign where signatures should be placed on the document, who the signers are, and what type of fields need to be there. For a more in-depth guide on text tags, you can refer to the official Dropbox Sign Text Tags Walkthrough.

Example of Text Tags

An example of text tags can be seen in the image above. Note that there are spaces at the very end of each text tag. This is to specify the font size.

To make things simple, here's each text tag and their purpose:

Text TagDescription
[sig|req|signer1 ]A signature field will be placed here and is required to be filled in by signer1
[text|req|signer1 ]A text field will be placed here and is required to be filled in by signer1
[date|req|signer1 ]A date field will be placed here and is automatically filled in and associated to signer1

This is what the text tags look like upon viewing the document in Dropbox Sign:

After signing the document in Dropbox Sign, this is how the signed text tags appear:
