### Introduction

The DocuSign integration with Cintra People HR will allow you to request electronic signatures on your Employee Records in Cintra People HR.

You will benefit from the following:

- Request e-signatures from employees on existing Employee Records
- Request e-signatures from employees when uploading new Employee Records
- Store these documents on the Employee Profile

> [!WARNING]
> Your DocuSign account must be "Business Pro" or higher. Alternatively, you can purchase a "DocuSign Connect" bolt-on.

### Setup
