Teams search "docusign integration with sharepoint" when they need contracts to move without manual upload loops. Atlas does not ship a marketplace connector for every CRM. The supported pattern is your middleware calling POST /api/envelope plus webhooks back to your stack.

Share: Trigger in your app, review_url for ops, webhook when signed.

Reference flow

  1. Your integration fires on stage change or form submit
  2. POST /api/envelope with PDF or DOCX
  3. Store review_url for human Send (or template auto_send when trusted)
  4. Verify X-Atlas-Signature on lifecycle webhooks
  5. Update CRM or billing on envelope.signed

Create example

curl -X POST https://atlaswork.ai/api/envelope \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLAS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: docusign-integration-with-sharepoint-create" \
  -d '{
    "document_url": "https://cdn.example.com/order.pdf",
    "webhook_url": "https://your-server/webhooks/atlas",
    "metadata": {"client_reference_id": "ext-123"},
    "parties": [{"email": "signer@example.com", "name": "Signer", "role": "Customer"}]
  }'

Pass Idempotency-Key derived from your external record ID so retries do not duplicate envelopes.

Webhook verification

Atlas POSTs lifecycle events with HMAC in X-Atlas-Signature. Verify with your API key before you update downstream systems.

Handle at least envelope.sent, envelope.signed, envelope.voided, and envelope.declined.

Agent alternative

If the caller is Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, use Atlas MCP instead of custom middleware for ad-hoc sends.

Production hardening

Always pass Idempotency-Key derived from your external record ID. Retries must not create duplicate envelopes.

Poll fields_status before send on ad-hoc creates. Sending while detection is pending returns 409.

Store envelope_id on your CRM or billing row before you mark the deal as contract sent.

Sequential signing

Atlas signs in order. Multi-party deals need party tokens on each sign URL.

Each signer sees only their fields when tokens are present.

Template branch

When legal trusts a standard order form, save an Atlas template and call POST /api/templates/{id}/send with prefill from DocuSign properties.

Trusted templates can auto-send. First-time shapes still deserve review_url.

Error handling

402 when credits exhausted. 409 on fields_version mismatch. 400 on malformed parties.

Log envelope_id on every create for support traces.

Staging checklist

  1. Create with two-page PDF or DOCX
  2. Open review_url and confirm fields
  3. Send to a mailbox you control
  4. Sign on mobile once
  5. Verify webhook and signed PDF download

Security review questions

Confirm data residency, retention after cancel, and subprocessors on email delivery with your security team.

Redact signer email in production logs if policy requires.

Pilot metrics

Track time from trigger to first signed PDF, webhook latency p95, and support tickets per hundred automated sends.

Five free sends at /signup validate DocuSign wiring before finance approves paid credits.

Ops handoff

Document which team owns webhook verification, which owns template updates, and which owns signer support during pilot week.

Keep rollback steps in the runbook until three production-like envelopes complete without manual fixes.

FAQ

Does Atlas replace native DocuSign e-sign? Only when your documents are PDF or DOCX from your product and you want usage-priced API sends.

Credits? One per envelope sent. Drafts and detection are free.

PDF and DOCX? Both supported on create.

SharePoint handoff pattern

SharePoint stores the file. Your middleware moves signing to Atlas.

  1. User drops PDF in a SharePoint library folder watched by Power Automate or a cron job.
  2. Job copies download URL or bytes to your server.
  3. POST /api/envelope with parties from SharePoint metadata columns.
  4. Store review_url back on the list item for legal to open.
  5. On envelope.signed, upload signed PDF beside the original.

Atlas does not read SharePoint permissions natively. Your job enforces who may trigger create. See DocuSign Google Sheets integration for a similar middleware shape.

Production checklist

Always pass Idempotency-Key on POST /api/envelope. Retries from automation must not duplicate envelopes.

Upload PDF or DOCX via multipart when bytes live on disk. Use document_url when the file sits on object storage.

Poll fields_status before send. Sending while detection is pending returns 409.

Set webhook_url at create. Verify X-Atlas-Signature HMAC with your API key before CRM updates.

Atlas signs in order on multi-party envelopes. Each sign_url needs ?t=<token>. See sequential signing.
