hi, while creating an envelope is there a way to send custom fields that dynamically populate in the document like {{ First_name }} ?
Yes! Just added this in v0.3.0.
How to use Merge Fields:
Put placeholders in your document (e.g., {{First_Name}}, {{Company}})
In the Create Envelope node, go to Additional Options → Merge Fields
Add your mappings:
DocuSign will find the placeholder text and overlay your value there. You can also set the font size for each field.
Works great for contracts, offer letters, invoices - anything where you need dynamic data.

i am using Package version 0.0.3 (Latest) and cant seem to find it
That’s a different DocuSign node - not the community node with Merge Fields.
To use n8n-docusign-node (the one with Merge Fields):
Go to Settings → Community Nodes
Install n8n-docusign-node
After install, search for “DocuSign” - you’ll see two DocuSign nodes
Use the one from the community package
The community node’s Create Envelope has options like: Multiple Signers, Embedded Signing, Merge Fields , Custom Fields, Additional Tabs.

no i tried that before, it says “Package name must start with n8n-nodes-”
Thanks for reporting this! The original package name didn’t follow n8n’s Community Nodes naming convention (packages must start with n8n-nodes-).
I’ve renamed and republished it as n8n-nodes-docusign-esign
To install:
Go to Settings > Community Nodes
Click Install
Enter: n8n-nodes-docusign-esign
Click Install
Let me know if you run into any other issues!

it works, but the merge fields option is not present there for creating an envelope using a template, only for create an envelope.

Hi I can’t see the install button in the community node, any help. Is it related to the plan. I have the starter montly plan.
Unfortunately, community nodes are not available on the n8n Starter plan. To install community nodes, you’ll need either:
Upgrade to the n8n Pro plan — this unlocks the community nodes feature in n8n Cloud
Use self-hosted n8n — you can run n8n locally or on your own server where there are no restrictions on community nodes. The quickest way is:
npx n8n
Or with Docker:
docker run -it --rm -p 5678:5678 n8nio/n8n
Once you have access, you can install the node by going to Settings > Community Nodes > Install and entering: n8n-nodes-docusign-esign
Just updated it! Merge Fields are now available under Additional Options when using Create From Template . Please update to v0.6.1 and give it a try.

Nice work shipping this!
For anyone landing here who specifically needs a Brazilian e-sig flow (ICP-Brasil A1/A3 certificates, CPF/CNPJ signer fields, PT-BR locale, MP 2.200-2 legal compliance), I just published a related option: n8n-nodes-signdocs-brasil — wraps SignDocs Brasil . Different platform, same automation pattern (Sheets → sign → save evidence).
Announcement thread: SignDocs Brasil Community Node — ICP-Brasil A1/A3, biometric, OTP, and clickwrap signatures (MP 2.200-2)
Not trying to redirect traffic — DocuSign is the right call for most global flows. Just cross-referencing for BR-focused users who hit this thread first.
