How to Assign an Approval Signer (to a Stand Alone Document)

The Approval Signer feature by ApproveMe is a powerful eSignature automation tool that makes it easy for you to automate the contract approval process for your business. This means that you can have a public facing document that lives on your website and set up a final approval signer to close out the agreement once a signature is received from your signer.

Overview of the Approval Signer

With the Approval Signer feature enabled, once your Stand Alone Document has been signed, a new signer invitation email will be sent to your pre-defined Approval Signer.

Once your Approval Signer reviews and signs the document, the document is closed and a confirmation email is sent to the signers with access to the signed PDF.

How to set up your Approval Signer

1. Visit E-Signature —> settings —> add-ons and make sure you have the Assign Signer Order and Stand Alone Document add-ons enabled.

2. Either: Create a new stand alone document, add a title and your document content OR open an existing stand alone document in editing mode.

3. Scroll down to the Document Options —> advanced options.

4. Check the option “Assign an approval signer to sign and approve this document once a signature is added”.

5. Click the + Add Signer button and type in the name and email of your Approval Signer and save.

6. That’s it! You’re done!

Now every time your stand alone document is signed, your Approval Signer will receive an email invitation to sign the same copy of the document.

Once you Approval Signer signs, both signers are emailed a confirmation with access to the signed PDF.
