Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the PandaDoc webhook system to monitor documents in real time. When you set up a workflow, the agent creates a webhook subscription that listens for specific events like document opened, signed, or declined. The moment PandaDoc fires that event, Ceven receives the payload and triggers the next step in your sequence. This means you can build logic that sends a Slack message to your team the second a contract is signed or triggers a welcome email to the client. You do not need to manually poll the API for status changes because the push notifications ensure your downstream systems stay in sync with the actual signing progress.
Yes. Ceven can use the file upload tool to take an existing PDF or DOCX file and convert it into a PandaDoc document. This is particularly useful for legacy contracts or custom agreements that do not fit a standard template. Once the file is uploaded, PandaDoc processes the document, and Ceven can then assign recipients, set signing orders, and send the document for signature. The agent handles the file transmission and the API call to ensure the document is correctly formatted for the PandaDoc editor, allowing you to maintain your exact branding and layout while gaining the benefits of electronic tracking.
Ceven can manage both top level and nested folders. When creating a new folder, the agent can specify a parent folder ID, which allows you to build a hierarchical filing system. For example, you can have a main folder for the year 2024, with sub folders for each month, and further sub folders for each client. The agent can list all folders to find the correct destination ID before moving a document. This ensures that your signed contracts are not just stored in one giant list but are organized logically for your legal and finance teams to find later.
Ceven uses a create or update logic based on the email address. When a workflow triggers, the agent first checks if the contact already exists in PandaDoc using the email as the unique identifier. If the contact is found, Ceven updates the existing record with the most recent data from your CRM to ensure names and titles are current. If no match is found, it creates a brand new contact record. This prevents the creation of duplicate contacts and ensures that when you send a document, it is associated with the correct historical record in PandaDoc, keeping your client database clean.
Ceven is subject to the API rate limits imposed by PandaDoc, which vary based on your specific PandaDoc plan. If you attempt to trigger hundreds of document creations in a very short window, PandaDoc may return a rate limit error. To handle this, Ceven implements a retry logic with exponential backoff, meaning the agent will wait a few seconds and try again until the request is accepted. For users on lower tiers with tighter limits, we recommend staggering large batch updates to avoid hitting these ceilings. We monitor these responses to ensure that no document is missed during high volume periods.
Yes. Ceven can list templates to find the right one for a deal, pull detailed metadata to verify the template version, and even create new templates from uploaded files. This allows you to build a workflow where a manager can upload a new legal version of a contract to a storage folder, and Ceven automatically creates a corresponding template in PandaDoc for the sales team to use. The agent can also delete old templates to keep your library current, ensuring that your team never accidentally sends an outdated version of a proposal to a client.
Ceven can add supplemental files to a PandaDoc document as attachments rather than embedding them into the document body. This is ideal for adding price lists, technical specifications, or terms of service that the client needs to download but not necessarily sign. The agent handles the file upload process and links the attachment to the specific document ID. This keeps the main contract clean and focused on the signatures while still providing the client with all the necessary supporting documentation in one package, all managed automatically through your workflow.
If a contact is deleted using a Ceven workflow, the action is permanent and cannot be undone within PandaDoc. The agent sends a delete request for the specific contact ID, and PandaDoc removes the record immediately. We recommend building a confirmation step or a safety check in your workflow before triggering a delete action. For example, you could have the agent check if the contact has any active documents before allowing the deletion to proceed. This ensures that you do not lose critical contact associations for documents that are still pending signature.
