## Authentication

Before automating processes, you need to establish a connection with your DocuSign instance. Step-by-step instructions are
available in the [DocuSign authentication](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-suite/2024.10/user-guide/uipath-docusign-docusign-authentication) page.

## Events

The DocuSign connector supports events via polling. Information about the supported events is available in the [DocuSign events](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-suite/2024.10/user-guide/uipath-docusign-docusign-events) page.

## Activity package

You can use the connection to enable the [DocuSign
activities](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/uipath-docusign-docusign-activities) in UiPath® Studio
and build automations that interact with your DocuSign data. These activities allow
you to execute create, read, update, and delete operations on your DocuSign
objects.

## Provider documentation

The UiPath connector is compatible with eSignature v2.1 REST API. Learn more at the [DocuSign Developer website](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/).
