What is a document signing link?
CocoSign’s document signing link is a special email-free feature for one-on-one signing. When your email request for signatures fails to reach certain target signers, you can convert the document into a private signing link for each and forward it to them. This way, your signees can start signing right away with a single click, requiring no extra interaction with CocoSign.
When do you need to create a document signing link?
A document signing link perfectly addresses headaches related to regular online signing. It comes in handy when:
- Your recipients’ emails have changed.
- The sent documents are not delivered to signers’ emails successfully.
- The recipients’ email addresses you have filled in are incorrect.
- The messaging system of the signer is different from yours.
- The email client from the signer is malfunctional.
How to create a document signing link?
Generating a document signing link for a targeted signee is tremendously easy and quick. The signers click on the signable link, and a document will be presented for him to fill out and sign. Once completed, the final signed PDF copy will be sent to everyone involved in the signing process.
What is a template signing link?
Template link is a signable link generated from a certain document template, able to save your time in inputting recipients’ names and emails one by one. Instead, signers are required to enter their names and emails themselves after hitting the link. Then the document will be sent to their emails for signature.
This type of signing link can also be used for bulk sending. Share the link with hundreds of signers and have CocoSign track and manage all signing progress.
When do you need to create a template signing link?
Template link reduces repetitive work and enhances your professionalism and efficiency. It could be helpful when:
- You need to send a signature request to tons of signers.
- You don’t know the email addresses of signers.
- You need to send similar documents for signing repeatedly
How to create a template link?
Setting up one signing link to have your documents signed by many is fully achievable with CocoSign. Simply create and forward the link to a chat group of your designated signers or post it on a website for the limited few to access.
