Salesforce: Update Signer Information – Proof Help Center
The Proof–Salesforce integration allows organizations to update a signer's email and SMS-enabled phone number within transactions—ensuring email notifications are always sent, optionally syncing changes back to Salesforce contacts or leads, and enabling SMS notifications when a valid mobile number and carrier support are present to improve signer engagement and transaction completion.
Audience: Organizations
The short answer: Here's how to update a signer's email address and phone number within the Proof–Salesforce integration. This applies to business accounts with the Salesforce integration enabled.
An email address is always required — Proof uses it to notify signers about transactions and signing activity.
How it works
Organizations can also include an SMS-enabled phone number to send signer notifications via text message. You can customize which Salesforce phone field is used by selecting any available phone field from the related contact or lead record using the SMS Enabled Phone Number dropdown menu — the selected number automatically populates the SMS Number field.
Using SMS notifications can help improve signer engagement and reduce delays in transaction completion.
Update signer information
- 1.Select the pencil icon next to the signer whose information you want to update.
- 2.Update the signer's email address and/or phone number as needed.
- 3.(Optional) Select the Update contact information in Salesforce checkbox to save the updated details back to the original Salesforce contact or lead record.
- 4.Select Save or continue with the transaction workflow.
Updating signer information within the transaction does not automatically update Salesforce records unless the Update contact information in Salesforce option is selected.
SMS notifications
SMS reminders and notifications are only available when:
- An SMS-capable phone number is provided
- The selected Salesforce field contains a valid mobile number
- The signer's country and carrier support SMS delivery
If an SMS-enabled phone number is unavailable, Proof continues to send signer notifications through email.
Troubleshooting
- SMS notifications unavailable → confirm the selected phone number supports SMS messaging.
- Signer updates not saved back to Salesforce → confirm the Update contact information in Salesforce checkbox was selected.
- Wrong phone number appearing → verify the correct Salesforce phone field was selected in the dropdown menu.
- Signer not receiving notifications → confirm the email address and mobile number are correct.
- Edit option unavailable → confirm your Salesforce user account has the required permissions.
Summary Checklist
- Select pencil icon → update email and/or phone → optionally check Update contact information in Salesforce → Save.
- Email is always required. SMS is optional — requires a valid mobile number and supported carrier.
- Changes do not sync back to Salesforce automatically — check the checkbox if you want them saved.
