Signing Flows#

With the Signhost API it is possible to facilitate two different signing flows to the signer.

Invite Flow: Signhost will send a Sign Request by email to the signer and will facilitate the workflow process by sending reminder emails and emailing the signed results to the signer and the originator.

Direct Flow: The Signhost API returns a Sign URL that you will be able to use to directly redirect the signer on your portal or send the signer a message with the signing link yourself.

If you would like to make use of the Invite flow, set the Signer SendSignRequest parameter to true when creating a transaction.

#Reminders

If you choose to make use of the Invite flow we will send a reminder email after 7 days. You can adjust the amount of days by setting the DaysToRemind parameter.

A value of -1 disables reminders.

#Signing Artifacts

When the transaction is successfully signed (Status=30) you will be able to GET the signed document and receipt with an HTTP GET request to api/transaction/${TRANSACTION_ID}/file/{fileId} or api/file/receipt/${TRANSACTION_ID}.

For legal proof it is important to store both the signed document and the receipt.

• The Sender will receive the signed documents and receipt per mail when the SendEmailNotifications is set to true.
• The Signers will receive the signed documents and receipt per mail when the SendSignConfirmation is set to true.
• The Receivers will always receive the signed documents per mail.
