E-Signatures - How it Works

Deliver the signature request to the recipient from ActionFlow

  1. Choose a job that is ready for a digital signature.
  2. While you can attach a signature placeholder to any report footer, eSignatures are most commonly used with Invoices and Quotes.
  3. Generate an estimate or report for the job
  4. If you have already configured the report with eSignature functionality, the top of the report menu will have a SignNow icon

Recipient receives and signs the document

  1. After the document is sent from ActionFlow, SignNow detects the signature placeholders and delivers the document to the recipient via email.

  2. Once the document is delivered, users can manage their documents through the SignNow portal. The portal offers advanced features for managing and tracking documents after they've been sent.

  5. A comment action will be added to the job history, tagging the Project Manager (PM) to notify them that the signed contract has been returned.
