Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) is a new software category that transforms how organisations create, commit to and manage their agreements, and the relationships they define. Docusign IAM is a portfolio of applications built for the specific needs of individuals, teams, lines of business and industries. These applications empower people to accelerate revenue, reduce risk and unlock value from the agreements that run their organisation.

Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) applications include more functionality than eSignature plans and provide an opportunity for eSignature customers to upgrade and enhance their current set of capabilities. With IAM, you can customise workflows with modular capabilities with Docusign Workflow Builder. IAM enables you to centrally store, manage and analyse signed agreements with Docusign Agreement Manager, a smart repository powered by Docusign Artificial Intelligence (AI). IAM applications include IAM for Sales and IAM for Customer Experience, which are structured to meet end-to-end agreement needs for lines of business. The IAM Core application has multiple plans – Standard, Professional and Enterprise – available for all audiences, which are structured to solve the end-to-end agreement needs of organisations of all sizes and specialities.

Yes, you can upgrade from your existing eSignature plan to an IAM application by contacting our sales team. Some restrictions may apply based on your region.

An envelope is a container for documents that you send to a recipient to sign. An envelope can have one document or many documents, and one signer or many signers. Envelopes have statuses (e.g., sent, delivered, completed, voided) and also contain information about the sender and timestamps that indicate the progress of the delivery procedure. Regardless of how many documents, fields and signers a given envelope contains, it still counts only once towards your eSignature plan’s envelope allowance once it is sent out to be signed.

Your allowance depends on your method of sending envelopes.

Envelopes sent through web app


For IAM Standard or Professional, you can send unlimited envelopes using the Docusign web application or mobile application. IAM Starter envelope limits apply to envelopes sent through the web app and all other sending methods. For annual IAM Starter plans, you can send 100 envelopes per user per year, and for monthly IAM Starter plans, you can send 10 envelopes per user per month.

Automation sends

Annual IAM Standard or IAM Professional plans include a total of 100 automation sends per user per year across Web Forms, PowerForms, Bulk Send and envelopes sent with custom and partner API integrations. Monthly IAM Standard or IAM Professional plans include an automation send allowance of up to 10 sends per user per month. Learn more about feature allowances. Learn more about feature allowances.
