Yousign, DocuSign
Get a quote — or a contract, a delivery note — signed without printing it. Hela sends the PDF to the signature provider, the customer signs on their phone, the state comes back into Hela and the quote becomes signed.
| Provider | Zone | Connection | Levels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yousign | Europe (eIDAS) | API key | Simple, advanced, qualified signature |
| DocuSign | World | OAuth | Standard electronic signature |
Connecting
Yousign: in Yousign, Settings → Integrations → API keys, create a key. In Hela, Integrations → Yousign → Connect, paste it; copy Hela's notification address into Yousign (Webhooks, event signature_request.done) and the webhook secret into the connection form.
DocuSign: Continue with DocuSign. Whoever runs the server must have registered Hela with DocuSign (DOCUSIGN_CLIENT_ID, DOCUSIGN_CLIENT_SECRET). Every envelope sent carries its return notification (eventNotification); set the DocuSign Connect HMAC key in the settings so Hela verifies the notifications' signature.
Using it
On a quote or an invoice: Request signature. The signer's name and e-mail are pre-filled from the customer record. The customer receives an e-mail from the provider, reads, signs. In Hela:
- the state becomes sent in the Partners card;
- on signature, the state becomes signed with the date and signer,
quote.signedis emitted, and the document is dropped into the connected storage if there is one; - a refusal sets the state to declined.
Through the API: POST /companies/{id}/integrations/documents/quote/{quoteId}/signature with { "provider": "yousign", "signer": { "name": "…", "email": "…" } }.

Good to know
- The signed document is kept at the signature provider, with its audit trail; Hela keeps the link to the request and the state.
- A signed quote can be converted into an invoice in one click; the signature follows.
- The provider charges per signature; nothing is sent unless you asked.
