Short answer

How do I get the audit trail for a DottedSign document using AI?

Your AI uses the get_audit_trail tool to pull the full history of a document, including timestamps and signature verification. You'll get a clear breakdown of who signed what and when.

Where the data lands.

The results of your request.

The AI processes the raw logs and organizes them into these specific outcomes.

COMPLIANCE

Verified audit logs

The AI pulls the get_audit_trail data and presents a clean timeline of all legal events. You get a ready-to-use record of document validity.

VERIFICATION

Signature confirmation

Your agent identifies exactly which parties signed and at what time. This confirms the identity and timing of every signer.

REPORTING

Summary of events

Instead of reading raw logs, you get a plain English summary of the document's lifecycle. It highlights any gaps in the signing process.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If the audit trail shows a signature mismatch or a failed verification, the AI flags it for you. You decide how to handle the discrepancy.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of digging through DottedSign logs so you don't have to.

  1. Fetch the logs

  3. Verify signers

    The agent checks the signature data against the audit trail to ensure the right people completed the document.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the signature on a document?

    No. The AI can only read and report on the audit trail. It cannot modify any signed documents or signatures.

  • 02

    Can I use this to delete an audit trail?

    No. The tool only allows for retrieving existing data. It has no capability to delete or alter logs.

  • 03

    What happens if a document hasn't been signed yet?

    The AI will pull the available trail, which will show the document was sent but will lack the signature verification events.

  • 04

    Does the AI see the actual content of the contract?

    The audit trail tool focuses on the metadata and event history, such as timestamps and signer identities, rather than the text of the legal agreement itself.

  • 05

    Can the AI send a new signature request?

    No. This specific task is limited to pulling the audit trail via the get_audit_trail tool.
