# Launch E-Signature Requests from a Salesforce Record

### Request an e-Signature from a Generated Document

Follow these steps to request an e-signature from a PDF generated from a Salesforce record:

From the Salesforce record, generate a document as a PDF using the **S-Docs Generate Documents Lightning Web Component (LWC)** or a configured S-Docs button.

After the PDF is generated, locate it in the **Generated Documents** LWC.

Click the **arrow** next to the generated document to open the dropdown menu of available actions.

Select **Request for e-Signature**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If **Request for e-Signature** does not appear in the dropdown menu, contact your org admin to enable this setting for the **Generated Documents** LWC.
{% endhint %}

Continue through the [**S-Docs e-Signature request builder**](https://help.sdocs.com/sdocs/~/revisions/sNrFnS0Pdr35ElE3TB4w/s-docs-e-signature/create-and-send-signature-requests) experience. The generated PDF is preloaded into the workflow, so you can proceed with configuring recipients, signature fields, and request details as needed.

{% hint style="info" %}
Data write-backs are only supported for this workflow and when the template used to generate the document includes fields that have been configured for write-back functionality.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sdocs.com/sdocs/s-docs-e-signature/launch-e-signature-requests-from-a-salesforce-record.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
