Legal workflows it fits
Legal workflows Maestro fits.
01
NDA intake to signature
A web form request generates the NDA from a template, routes it for signature, and files it in Navigator.
02
Contract requests to legal
Business requests arrive through one intake instead of email, and legal sees status in one place.
03
Third-party onboarding
Supplier or customer agreements with identity verification and the data captured once.
04
After the signature
The signed agreement and its data handed to Salesforce, the ERP or the repository automatically.
Limits to know
Four limits to know before you build.
Plan for these before the first workflow goes live.
| Limit | What to know |
|---|---|
| Workflows per plan | Starter 1, Standard 3, Professional and Enterprise 10, per Docusign’s IAM plans page. See our IAM pricing page. |
| One template per envelope | A workflow can use one template when it creates an envelope; supporting documents can be added. |
| Web Forms | Each workflow needs its own copy of a Web Form. |
| Retiring a workflow | Open instances must be stopped before a workflow is retired. |
Per Docusign’s plans page and community answers and setup guidance as of October 2026. Confirm current behavior with your Docusign account team.
Maestro or a CLM
Maestro or a CLM?
| Situation | Answer |
|---|---|
| Structured, repeatable agreements with little negotiation: NDAs, onboarding, renewals | Maestro fits. |
| Negotiated contracts with redlining, a clause library and approvals at volume | You need a CLM, or IAM Enterprise, which adds redlining and approvals. |
| You already run a CLM | Maestro can still handle the simple flows around it. |

Frequently asked questions
What is Docusign Maestro?
Docusign Maestro is the no-code workflow builder in Docusign IAM. It connects the steps before and after a signature: intake through Agreement Desk, Web Forms, identity verification, document generation from templates, eSignature, and connections to systems such as Salesforce, Microsoft, Google and ServiceNow. Docusign includes it in all IAM plans.
Is Docusign Maestro the same as Workflow Builder?
Yes. Docusign now lists Maestro as Workflow Builder, and its community refers to Workflow Builder (formerly Maestro). Both names refer to the same no-code workflow builder in Docusign IAM.
What legal workflows can Docusign Maestro automate?
Structured, repeatable ones: NDA intake through signature and filing, contract requests routed to legal through one intake, supplier or customer onboarding with identity verification, and handing signed agreements and their data to Salesforce, the ERP or the repository.
How many workflows does each Docusign IAM plan include?
Per Docusign's IAM plans page in October 2026: Starter includes 1 workflow, Standard 3, and Professional and Enterprise 10 each. Check Docusign's plans page for the current allowance.
Can Docusign Maestro replace a CLM?
For structured, repeatable agreements with little negotiation, such as NDAs, onboarding and renewals, Maestro can be enough. For negotiated contracts with redlining, a clause library and approvals at volume, you need a CLM, or IAM Enterprise, which adds redlining and approvals. If you already run a CLM, Maestro can still handle the simple flows around it.
