How to

Send an agreement to be signed

A contract, filled in from records you already hold, signed by everyone who needs to sign it.

  1. 1

    Write the agreement once as a template. Put anything the system already knows in double braces and it fills itself in.

    Documents · agreements → templates → new template

    Writing the text is the easy path. Uploading a PDF also works, but an uploaded file needs its signature boxes positioning before every send.

  2. 2

    List every signer the document needs, in order. Signature lines are added for you, one per signer.

    Renaming a signer later keeps their signature lines where you put them; removing one takes its lines with it.

  3. 3

    Send it from the record it is about, so the customer, the item and the amounts fill themselves in.

  4. 4

    Each signer gets their own link and signs on their own device, in whatever order suits them.

Worth knowing

  • If a contract prints something in double square brackets, that is a question nobody has answered yet — deliberately visible, so nothing gets signed carrying a term that was invented rather than agreed.
  • Formatting a written template is three rules: ## starts a heading, - starts a bullet, and a blank line starts a paragraph.
