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!

③ Customize your emails

Instructions
There are 2 emails that are sent to your signer by eSignatures for each contract:
Email requesting the signer to sign the new contract
Example email:
⁠
Xnapper-2022-08-26-15.58.04.png
⁠
⁠
Email sending the signer the final contract once it’s been signed
Example email:
⁠
Xnapper-2022-08-26-15.59.28.png
⁠
⁠

For each of these emails, you can customize the following 2 fields:
Subject Line
Email Body

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.

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
0
⁠

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:

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Withdrawn: contract has been withdrawn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 This is only possible if the contract has not been signed, withdrawn, or declined.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.
