Ever have your boss send you a text to ask for an update instead of looking it up themselves? As it relates to Adobe Acrobat Sign, this is often my manager asking “Hey, do we have any updates on the contract?”
To reply to this, I would have to log into Adobe Acrobat Sign to check whether a person has signed the contract yet and then reply to the message.
With Adobe Acrobat Sign for Microsoft Teams, there is a much easier way to reply. When you add the Adobe Acrobat Sign App in Microsoft Team, you can add the Adobe Acrobat Sign bot to your channel and check the status right in the context of the conversation. This eliminates a whole bunch of clicks and steps to answer you manager.
