Contact sync
Two-way contact synchronization and field mapping that updates Freshsales CRM records after signature events; supports segmented lists and organization-level contacts for accurate recordkeeping and follow-up.
In the United States, electronic signatures executed through compliant providers meet ESIGN and UETA standards when audit trails and signature intent are preserved; evaluate HIPAA and FERPA support for protected data and ensure provider agreements include appropriate business associate addenda where required.
Administrators configure account-wide settings, manage user provisioning, set security policies, and maintain the integration between signNow and Freshsales CRM. They handle API keys, SSO, and retention policies and resolve high-level synchronization issues.
Sales users prepare templates, send documents for signature from CRM contacts, track signature status, and rely on sync to update deal stages; they need training on template selection and field mapping to avoid rejected signatures.
