DocuFetch

DocuFetch provides document collection by providing a way to:

  • Create a request asking for particular documents to be uploaded

  • Send the request link to a user outside of Salesforce or a customer user, which will open a page to upload documents, sign a document or fill in a form.

  • Allow the user to upload one or more documents, including documents that are pre-filled in via merge fields and documents that have been signed via e-signature by the user

  • Approve or reject the received documents, and request another document if one is rejected

  • Store the user-uploaded documents in S-Drive

  • Create document request templates to be used over and over again

See the DocuFetch User Guide for information about using DocuFetch.

Overview

Use Case: Requesting Documents

Let’s say you run a company that provides temporary workers for other companies. You need applicants to submit several different documents to your program:

  • Application

  • Driver’s license or other ID

  • List of references

  • Resume

  • Sign a form with some information

With DocuFetch, you can create a Request template that has each of those items in it. You can then use the template to create a Request, and send the Request link to an applicant, asking them to upload the required documents and sign the document that needs a signature. When you receive the documents, you can take a look at them and either accept them or reject them. If rejected, you can send the request back to the applicant and ask them to try again.

When the documents are uploaded, they are stored in S-Drive for easy, organized access.

Providing Documents Requested

When the requestee receives a DocuFetch request link, they can click the link and see a page with each item that is requested. For each item they can click the corresponding button to complete the request--upload, fill in form, or e-sign.

They will see a progress bar for the request and a status for each item as they complete the request.

DocuFetch can be set up for users to open links either in a

For information on how to use DocuFetch after it is configured, see DocuFetch User Guide

Requirements

For basic document requests

  • S-Drive 2.25 or later

  • S-Drive Public Share/surl feature

    • In Step 2 of “S-URL and Public Share Setup” from the link above, give the created user Create/Read/Edit/Delete access to the following objects as well.

      • SDriveDocumentIntakeRequest,

      • SDriveDocumentIntakeRequestItem,

      • SDriveIntakeRequestItem_Template

      • SDriveIntakeRequest_Template

For Form Completion and/or E-Signature

DocuFetch Setup in Salesforce

Docufetch Path progress bar

Docufetch uses the Salesforce Path feature to show progress as the request is fulfilled. To implement Path, go to Setup → User Interface → Path Settings and click Enable.

DocuFetch can be used out-of-the-box on Accounts, Cases, Opportunities, Contacts, and Leads. If you are creating document requests from any of those objects, skip to Step 2.

1. Add a lookup field if using a custom file object

Skip this step if you are using DocuFetch on Accounts, Cases, Contacts, or Opportunities, even if you have a custom file object.

You must define a relationship between your object and DocuFetch with a lookup field on SDrive Document Intake Request:

  1. Go to Setup

  2. In Object Manager, find SDrive Document Intake Request object

  3. Go to Fields and Relationships and click New

  4. Add a Lookup field to your custom object

2. Add DocuFetch to your object Lightning page

Edit the Lightning Record Page of an object you want to use DocuFetch with. In the example, we’ll use Account.

Drag the SDrive DocuFetch component onto the Page.

Click into the component and fill in the configuration as follows:

  • Title: The heading that will show on the component. If blank, the heading will be DocuFetch Requests

  • File Object Prefix: For S-Drive out-of-the-box objects (Account File, Case File, Contact File, Lead File, Opportunity File) this will be cg__. For Custom object files, it will be blank unless the object is part of another managed package.

  • File Object Name: the S-Drive File object where DocuFetch files will be stored, such as AccountFile__c.

  • Parent Object Relationship Name: The API name of the lookup field from Document Request object to the object you’re relating it to. In this example, we’re using DocuFetch on Account, so the lookup field is cg__Account__r. For a custom object, it’s the name of the field you set up in Step 1.

Save the settings and Go Back to the Account Page. Now you’re ready to create a Request Item.

Permissions

DocuFetch users (those who create requests) need profile permission on all DocuFetch objects as well as the S-Drive object they’re using S-Drive on.

  • SDrive Document Intake Requests

  • SDrive Document Intake Request Items

  • SDrive Intake Request Item Templates

  • SDrive Intake Request Templates

We have provided a permission set called SDrive Docufetch User that contains the necessary permissions.

DocuFetch request links are accessed via S-Drive Public Share. Therefore the Public Share user needs profile permission on all the above objects also. See S-URL and Public Share Setup for how to set up Public Share.

Formstack Configuration for DocuFetch

Some features of DocuFetch require Formstack integration.

For Generate Document, Complete Form, and Complete E-Signature features*

Formstack Installation:

Formstack - Native form builder & data collection for Salesforce can be installed directly from AppExchange. It is only needed if you want to generate pre-filled forms.

Formstack Documents (formerly WebMerge) - Document Generation + Formstack Sign can also be installed directly from AppExchange. It is needed to generate forms with merge fields and send requests for e-signature.
