This month, workplace collaboration tool provider Workplace from Facebook said it partnered with DocuSign to introduce a new integration. The company's latest integration streamlines the time it takes for organizations to onboard brand-new employees. A spokesperson for Facebook's Workplace platform told UC Today News, the feature should be "Especially useful when onboarding frontline workers without corporate emails."
DocuSign now has a chatbot built into the Workplace platform, which lets HR professionals and others during the onboarding process enter sending and signing workflows. They can even receive notifications about agreements via DocuSign's eSignature platform located within the 'Workplace from Facebook' user interface.
The integration is said to extend seamless access to DocuSign by letting users add eSignatures with a single click from a Workplace chat so they can send, track, and manage electronic agreements. Organizations can receive notifications when there’s an agreement in need of signing, or to get the status of an agreement out for signature. The fresh integration even tackles simple compliance - extending a court-admissible audit trail of the transaction, which is automatically archived in the DocuSign platform.
In late July 'Workplace from Facebook' announced plans to improve the Workplace website and chat app for iOS users. In August, the workplace collaboration platform received those enhancements, and starting on August 12, system admins gained the ability to turn on the new and improved website for their 'Workplace.' This is possible via a post on the 'What’s New' page located in the platform's admin panel. "There, you can schedule the start and end date of your organization’s early access period. If you choose not to schedule them, we will move your Workplace to the improved website on your behalf," a spokesperson wrote in a statement.
Starting on September 23, Workplace users can no longer access the current version of the Workplace website.
