How to send a document for e-signature

4 min readΒ·Beginner

E-signatures let you get contracts and forms signed online, without printing or posting anything. You create an envelope, add your document and signers, then send it and track the status. Here is how to do it.

  1. Open E-Sign

    From the CRMit menu on the left, select E-Sign. This opens your list of envelopes, where you manage everything you have sent for signing.

  2. Create an envelope

    Click New Envelope. An envelope holds the document and everyone who needs to sign it.

  3. Upload or choose the document

    Add the document you want signed. You can upload a PDF, such as a contract or form, so it is ready to send.

  4. Add the signers and signature fields

    Add the people who need to sign, with their names and email addresses. Then place the signature fields on the document so each person knows exactly where to sign.

  5. Send it

    When everything is in place, choose Send for Signing. Each signer gets an email with a secure link to review and sign the document online.

  6. Track the signing status

    Back in your envelope list, keep an eye on who has signed and who is still to sign. Once everyone has signed, the completed document is yours to keep.

Tip: E-signatures get documents back far faster than post. Your signers can sign from a phone in minutes, so nothing waits on the letterbox.
