Catch Last-Minute Changes Before Signing with Docusign

Handling contracts sent via Docusign has always been a hassle, until now.

Recital eliminates the need to download, upload, and manually compare contract versions, turning a multi-step process into a single click.

A Common Problem, Solved

Comparing the latest contract version before signing should be effortless, but for most legal teams, it’s anything but.

The usual workflow involves digging through emails and cloud storage, downloading files, and manually configuring a document comparison in Word.

It’s an inefficient, frustrating process that introduces risk and wastes valuable time.

Recital eliminates these roadblocks.

Now, when a Docusign email arrives, Recital automatically fetches the contract and updates the associated record, complete with version history and a clear indicator that the file came from Docusign. No more manual uploads. No more wondering if you’re reviewing the right version.

And with Recital’s email add-in, you can instantly compare the newly received document with the last version in one click.

What used to take minutes now takes seconds, giving legal teams confidence in their final review before execution.

Built to Make Legal Work Easier

This feature was designed with legal professionals in mind—understanding that every minute spent on administrative tasks is a minute taken away from higher-value work. By streamlining the process, Recital significantly reduces the time and effort required to manage contract execution.

Hiemanshu Sharma, the Recital engineer behind this feature, explains the motivation behind its development:

“One of the biggest challenges with this feature was making sure we automated the retrieval process without introducing unintended disruptions. Docusign has various built-in notifications and security measures, so we had to be thoughtful about how we interact with their system. The goal was to make contract execution faster and easier, without triggering unnecessary alerts or interfering with the user’s workflow.”

Seamless, Smart, and Effortless

Recital continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, making contract negotiation work more intuitive, efficient, and stress-free.
