Signing the contract
How to Sign the Contract
Once you have sent the contract to be signed, the signee will receive an email that looks like this.
If the signee is not happy to sign, they can reject the contract. Click on this link to find out what happens if a signee hits “Reject”.
If the signee is happy to sign, they will click on the Signature field. The contract’s status will be marked as “In progress” until all parties have signed.
Signature Methods
The following box will open up. Here the signee can:
Draw their signature (with their mouse or touchscreen)
Upload a ready-made signature from their computer
Render their signature (type the desired text and choose a font for it
Draw
Upload
Render
Once the signee is happy with their signature, they will click “Sign”.
For security, a 6-digit code will be sent to the signee’s email. Once received, the signee will enter it at the top to confirm their signing of the contract.
Now the contract status shows as “Signed” and the signee will receive an email confirming this.
Contacting the Contract Creator
If a signer has questions or needs clarification before signing a contract, they can contact the contract creator directly from the signing page.
How it works:
The signer opens the contract using the link from the invitation email.
On the contract page, the signer clicks Contact Creator.
A new window opens displaying:
Contract name
Creation date
Contract creator’s name
Signer’s email address (used as reply-to)
The signer enters a message and sends it.
The message is delivered directly to the contract creator’s email.
This enables secure communication without replying to or forwarding the invitation email.
Attachments after Signing
The confirmation email will include attachments based on Customization settings.
A HTML copy of the signed contract
A PDF copy of the signed contract
An audit certificate confirming the following:
time and date of the contract’s completion
the details of the parties involved, namely who created it and who signed it
parties' email addresses
parties' device IPs
signature timestamps
It will also include a link to verify that the document is original and has not been tampered with.
And there you have it! A signed document, right there in your Confluence!
