Electronic Signature

Digital signing of letters can be automated by configuring electronic signatures into Workflows. An e-signature template can be created and then mapped to the workflow, so you can send letters and get them signed using Zoho Sign in an automated way, resulting from any action or record addition in Zoho People.

Enabling Zoho Sign for a Form

To configure an e-signature template, the option to send documents for e-signature using Zoho Sign should be enabled in the particular form, in the first place.

To enable e-signature options for a form,

  1. From your home page, go to Settings > Customization > Forms.
  2. Select the respective form for which you would like to enable e-signature i.e Zoho Sign.
  3. Click Form Properties.
  4. Under Third Party Integrations, check Enable Zoho Sign.

Note: The form should have a 'Email ID' field to enable e-signature options.

Configuring an E-signature template

  2. Under Actions, click Electronic Signature.
  3. Click Configure E-sign.

  3. Select the document that you would like to send for signing. The document can be from the file upload field of the selected form, a template created or it can be uploaded from your desktop or cloud. You can upload up to 5 files.

 Tip: Click here to know about Mail Merge Templates

  1. Select the recipients i.e to select the particular field of the form that contains the mail address of the recipients. You can have multiple recipients in case your form has multiple mail address fields of multiple people.
  2. Select Sign if you want the recipients to sign the document. If you want recipients to just view the document, select View. Select Approve, if the document is to be approved by the recipient.
  3. Enable Set signing order if required.
  4. Provide a document name. You can also map in fields of the form to provide the name
  5. Select an email template created for the selected form to serve as the message.

  1. Select any existing category or add a new category.
  2. Under More Options, set expiry date, and reminder as required.
  3. Check Add signed copy in employee files if needed. Select either Record Owner or Employee Lookup. If Employee Lookup is chosen, select the appropriate lookup field. 

  1. Under Automatic Website Redirection, enter the pages you want to redirect your recipients to, for the applicable scenarios: On signing the document, When recipient chooses to sign later, On rejecting, When all recipients have signed.

  1. Click Submit.
