Electronic signature API

Bring signing into your existing workflow.

Connect SignThat to your CRM, ERP, HR platform or product. When a deal, hire or order is ready, your system can create the agreement, invite recipients and receive the signed result in the same familiar process.

Automate the handoff

Let the agreement begin where the work already happens.

Use the API when a signature is the natural next step. Your source system can prepare the document, identify the recipients, trigger delivery and respond as the agreement moves toward completion.

01

Start from the approved document

Create templates, fill their values and generate immutable PDFs when a recipient signing workflow is not required.

02

Invite every recipient

Create a standard agreement, add one or more recipients and send individual secure links from the business event that brings it to life.

03

Keep status connected

Query the current state or receive signed webhook events so the source system can respond as progress changes or signing completes.

Designed for reliable integration

Reliable building blocks for your integration.

Attach external IDs and metadata so SignThat records map neatly to your own entities. Idempotency keys keep supported creation and sending operations safe when a network request needs to be retried.

GOOD TO KNOW

End-to-end encrypted agreements stay in the browser.

Participant encryption keys never leave their browsers, so API-created agreements use standard secure storage. When zero-knowledge content handling is needed, start the protected agreement in the web application instead.
