About Conga Sign
Conga Sign is an eSignature application made specifically for Salesforce customers. Users can initiate an eSignature process from any object in Salesforce using pre-defined templates or by adding signature tags in real-time. Then they select up to 10 recipients, set the signing order, and deliver the document to be signed. All signing activity is tracked and updated in Salesforce, the result being a legally valid electronic signature.
To use Conga Sign, administrators must have a Salesforce license to configure Conga Sign and send documents for eSignature. However, recipients do not need a Salesforce license to sign documents sent through Sign. Conga Sign supports Word and PDF file types and allows users to store files in Salesforce. There is also a streamlined integration with Conga Composer, allowing Composer customers to leverage all of the features of Conga Composer with their Conga Sign eSignature processes.
