This page should be used to only send out contracts with the one single template you will pick in Step 1.
If you want to send out contracts using a different template, click this button and it will duplicate this page. Please re-name the new page and go through these same steps to start sending out contracts using that template!
⓪ Initialize page
This button will sync your templates and clear out the contracts table in Steps 4, 5, and 6.
① Specify your contract details
Choose a “Reply to” Email: After your signer signs the contract, he/she will be directed here! If this is left blank, he/she will be re-directed to a generic thank you page.
② Check your personalization
If these are incorrect, please go here to update them:
③ Customize your emails
There are 2 emails that are sent to your signer by eSignatures for each contract:
Email requesting the signer to sign the new contract Email sending the signer the final contract once it’s been signed
For each of these emails, you can customize the following 2 fields:
NOTE:
If you want to use the signer’s name to personalize your emails, you can use the constant __FULL_NAME__
This constant will be replaced with the name of the signer when the emails are sent out.
See the examples in the tables below.
Signature Request email
Write whatever you want your signer to see in the column “FILL THIS OUT”.
Final Contract email
Write whatever you want your signer to see in the column “FILL THIS OUT”.
④ Setting up your table
① Check your placeholder fields
These are the fields that can be customized for each contract. Here are the placeholders fields we pulled from your template: If you want to make changes to your template, please visit the eSignatures template builder!
② Modify the table columns
Now, you need to make a few simple changes to the table below:
Add / remove columns as needed until you have exactly columns Rename your columns to match exactly the names of your placeholder fields. Each placeholder field from above should have a matching column. ③ Update this column formula
Update the formula for “placeholder_values_listed” so that it includes ALL of the columns you added above: placeholder_values_listed
1. Hover over the table, and click the “f” 3. Add all of the columns, separated by commas (they should all be green!) Still having trouble? No problem, here’s a GIF. Walk through of the above steps
⑤ Let’s send some contracts!
👏 Awesome, you’re ready to send some contracts now! LFG.
How to send contracts
Make sure all of your placeholder columns are showing! Fill in the following fields: signer name: name of the signer signer email: email of the signer Each of your placeholder field columns signer company name: company name for the signer cc email: email address to CC the signed PDF contract test: check this box if you want to send a test contract NOTE: Until you actually have paid credit in your account, all contracts will be sent as test contracts regardless of whether this box is ticked or not!
Click the big “Send Contract” button!
⑥ Tracking your contracts
Once you’ve sent a contract from Step 5, it’ll appear here in the All contracts table! The status of the contract will change automatically when the signer takes action.
Each of the other views corresponds to a different status Sent: contract has been sent to the signer Viewed: signer has clicked the link in the email to view the contract Signed: signer has signed the contract (open the signed contract directly from here!) Withdrawn: contract has been withdrawn Declined: signer has declined to sign the contract
You can take the following actions on any contract Re-request: re-sends the contract to the signer. This is only possible if the contract has not been signed, withdrawn, or declined. Withdraw: withdraws the contract. This is not possible if the contract has already been signed. View contract: this will open up the contract in your eSignatures dashboard, where you’ll be able to perform other actions like delete, re-send final PDF, etc.
