SignatureAPI

SignatureAPI is an electronic signature platform built for automation.

Send documents for signing and track their progress using our e-signature platform for Power Automate, which provides various actions and triggers to help you create both simple and complex workflows.

Electronic signatures made with SignatureAPI are legally binding and globally accepted, just like traditional ink signatures in most jurisdictions.

SignatureAPI offers cost-effective pricing for high-volume automation. See our pricing details.

  • Document Templates: Generate documents programmatically using templates and dynamic data.
  • Languages & Localization: Customize the signing interface with different languages, date-time formats, and time zones.
  • Accountless Signing: Allow recipients to sign documents without creating or logging into an account.
  • Audit Log: Maintain a detailed log of document access, review, and signature events.
  • Tamper-Proofing: Ensure document integrity with verified, irrefutable proof post-signature.

  • Real-Time Notifications: Receive instant updates on signing activities via email and webhooks.

Prerequisites

To use this connector, sign up for a SignatureAPI account and generate an API key. Get a free test API key and set up your connection.

Getting Started

The most common workflow involves sending one or more documents to recipients for signature. The recipients receive an email with a link to access the signing interface.

SignatureAPI supports advanced workflows. Explore our Connector Guides for step-by-step instructions, use cases, and automation strategies.

Step 1: Create an Envelope

Begin by creating an empty envelope. An envelope is a container that holds documents and manages the signing process.

Options include:

Step 2: Add Recipients

Specify who needs to sign the documents by adding recipients to your envelope. Currently, only signers are supported, but additional recipient types will be available in the future.

Step 3: Add Documents

Add the documents that need signatures to the envelope. You can upload PDF or DOCX files or generate documents from templates using data.

Step 4: Define Places in the Documents

Places are designated areas within a document where a recipient interacts, such as signing, providing initials, or adding text. They can also contain static or calculated values like completion dates.

Step 5: Start the Signing Process

Once the envelope is fully prepared, initiate the signing process.

Step 6: Wait for the Envelope to be Completed

To keep the entire workflow within the same flow, you can wait until the envelope is completed. This ensures that all recipients have signed and the deliverable (signed document) is generated.

Alternatively, you can trigger a separate workflow when the envelope is completed and the deliverable is generated.

Step 7: Retrieve the Signed Document

Once the process is complete, retrieve the signed document (deliverable).

Working with Triggers

SignatureAPI offers triggers to automate your workflows and streamline processes. Learn about the full list of triggers and how to use them.

Commonly Used Triggers

When a Deliverable is Generated

Triggered when the envelope is completed and the signed document (deliverable) is ready.

When a Recipient Completes an Envelope

Triggered each time a recipient finishes their part of the signing process.

When a Recipient Email Bounces

Triggered when a recipient's email address cannot receive the request.

Known Issues and Limitations

Common Errors and Solutions

  • Ensure the Get a deliverable action runs after the Wait for envelope action. Deliverables are only available once all recipients have completed their part.
  • If you switch from a test API key to a live API key, update the trigger to ensure the webhook is created in the correct environment (live or test). See our troubleshooting guide for details.
