Frequently asked questions

Ceven first calls the list templates action to find the correct identifier based on your request. Once the ID is confirmed, it maps the data from your trigger source, such as a CRM or a form, into the specific field requirements of that DocuSeal template. The agent then initiates the submission, which generates the unique signing URL. Ceven monitors this URL via polling or webhooks to detect when the status changes from sent to completed, allowing it to trigger the next step in your workflow immediately.
Yes. Ceven can use the create submission from PDF tool to handle one off documents. You simply provide the PDF file and the list of signers. The agent uploads the file to DocuSeal and sets up the signature request on the fly. This is ideal for custom agreements or addendums that are too unique to justify a template. The agent can still track these submissions and pull the final signed version just as it would with a template based flow.
Ceven monitors the submission status for any state changes. If a document is marked as declined or rejected, the agent can trigger a specific failure path. This might include notifying the account manager via Slack, creating a task in your project management tool to revise the terms, or sending an automated email to the signer asking for the specific reason for rejection. This ensures that stalled contracts do not disappear into a black hole.
DocuSeal applies different rate limits depending on whether you are using the cloud hosted version or a self hosted instance. For cloud users, aggressive polling of the list submissions endpoint can lead to temporary 429 errors. To avoid this, Ceven is configured to use exponential backoff and prefers webhook listeners over constant polling. If you are running a high volume operation with thousands of documents per hour, we recommend a self hosted DocuSeal instance to remove these external constraints.
Yes. By using the merge templates action, Ceven can take several distinct templates and combine them into a single cohesive document. This is particularly useful for onboarding packages where a new hire needs to sign an offer letter, a non disclosure agreement, and a handbook acknowledgement all at once. The agent handles the merging process and then creates a single submission for the user to sign in one sitting.
When a signer fills out a field in DocuSeal, that data is stored as a key value pair associated with the submission. Ceven pulls this structured data using the get submission action. Unlike traditional OCR which tries to guess where text is, Ceven gets the exact value entered into the specific field ID. This allows the agent to update your database with 100 percent accuracy, whether it is a date, a dollar amount, or a checkbox.
Absolutely. Ceven can use the create template from HTML tool to build documents programmatically. This is powerful for businesses that generate contracts where the layout changes based on the logic of the deal. Instead of creating a hundred different PDF templates, the agent can construct the HTML structure dynamically and push it to DocuSeal as a new template before sending it out for signature.
Yes. You can set up a maintenance workflow where Ceven lists all templates and archives those that have not been used in over ninety days. It can also identify old submissions that were never completed and delete them to keep your workspace clean. By using the archive template and delete submission tools, the agent acts as a digital librarian for your legal documents.
