PandaDoc Action

Configuring Yeeflow’s PandaDoc action to automate document signing, track signature status, and manage signed outputs directly within workflows.

Updated this week

The PandaDoc action in Yeeflow enables you to automatically generate, send, and manage documents for electronic signature using PandaDoc. This integration allows documents created within Yeeflow (such as quotations or contracts) to be sent for signing, tracked in real time, and stored back into your application once completed.

By integrating PandaDoc into your workflows, you can eliminate manual document handling, accelerate approval cycles, and ensure signed documents are properly recorded.


When to Use the PandaDoc Action

The PandaDoc action is ideal for automating document signing processes in scenarios such as:

Sales Quotations: Automatically send generated quotations to customers for signature.

Contract Agreements: Deliver contracts for review and legally binding electronic signatures.

Approval Workflows: Include document signing as part of a structured multi-step workflow.

Compliance & Record Keeping: Store signed documents securely within Yeeflow for audit and documentation purposes.

Using this action improves efficiency, reduces turnaround time, and ensures consistent document processing.


Before You Start

Before you begin, ensure you have access to a PandaDoc account with the necessary permissions for API usage. If you or your organization haven’t signed up yet, you can create a new account on the PandaDoc website.

Setting Up a PandaDoc Connection

Before using the PandaDoc action, ensure that a PandaDoc connection has been configured in Yeeflow.

  1. Generate an API Key in PandaDoc:

    • Log in to your PandaDoc account.

    • Navigate to the DEV Center and generate an API key.

    • For detailed instructions, refer to the API Key Authentication Process.

  2. Set Up the Connection in Yeeflow:

    • Go to Yeeflow’s Admin Center.

    • Click the gear icon located in the top-right corner.

    • Expand the Integrations tab and select Connections.

    • Click on "+ New Connection" and choose PandaDoc.

    • A pop-up window will appear where you’ll need to:

      • Enter a connection name.

      • Paste the API key you generated in PandaDoc.

    • Click Connect to complete the setup.、

Now your Yeeflow account is connected to PandaDoc, and the integration is ready to use in your workflows.

    (Example: Connect it to the step that generates the Quotation PDF.)
