Problem:
If you’ve ever tried connecting Airtable with DocuSign through Make.com, you’ve probably realized how little documentation there is—especially about the nuances of how the DocuSign module actually works. It took me a lot of trial and error to figure out how to get everything syncing smoothly.

Solution:
In this tutorial, I show how to build a full document automation between Airtable, Google Docs, and DocuSign using Make.com—step by step. You’ll learn how to generate a document template from Google Docs, send it for signature via DocuSign, and track everything back in Airtable automatically.

⚙️ What You’ll Learn:

  • How to generate document templates in Google Docs from Airtable records
  • How to send those documents through DocuSign using Make.com
  • How to sync signed documents and signature statuses back into Airtable
  • How to handle tricky module settings and webhook responses in Make.com
  • Lessons learned from testing and debugging real-world workflows

Do you think this signature workflow automation could be used for Google documents such as quotes or invoices that are variable based on Airtable data (pricing, quantity, etc)?

Hi Harold101,

Yes, this workflow definitely works for variable documents like quotes and invoices based on Airtable data.

If you're looking for a simpler alternative without needing Make.com, TypeFlow does this natively - it generates documents from Airtable data using Google Docs templates (or our templaet builder), sends them for signature, and brings the signed PDFs back to Airtable automatically.

We just launched e-signature this week (ESIGN/UETA compliant with full audit trails), so it's all in one tool now instead of three.

Worth comparing depending on your setup. Link: https://www.typeflow.us/e-signature

That said, Paul's tutorial is solid if you prefer the Make.com approach and want full control over the workflow.
