Security and proof

Sealed PDF

The signed PDF carries a digital seal, so a PDF reader shows it if the file is changed after signing.

Certificate of completion

Who signed, when, and from which IP address and device.

Audit trail

Every email, view, signature, reminder and correction, with the time.

Consent recorded

Each signer agrees to sign electronically before signing, and the time is recorded.

Document fingerprint

A SHA-256 fingerprint of the document as it was sent, which identifies that exact file.

Signing in your workflows

You can send documents for signature from a workflow or a form, and act on each signed document automatically.

Workflows

Step

Send a document a workflow generated for signature, wait for it, and carry on when it is signed, declined or expires.

Document signed

Trigger

Start a workflow when a document is signed, with the signed PDF ready for the next step.

Forms

Question

Turn on Collect a signature on a form's image question. The signature goes into the document generated from each response.

Questions and answers

Are these signatures legally valid?

Automette signatures are simple electronic signatures. In the United States they are covered by the ESIGN Act and UETA, and in the European Union they are simple electronic signatures under eIDAS. A few documents, such as wills and some court documents, cannot be signed this way in many places. If you are unsure about a particular document, ask a lawyer where you are.

How is signing priced?

Each request that everyone signs uses 0.10 credits, whatever the number of signers. Drafts, and requests that are declined, cancelled or expire, use nothing. Signing uses the same credit balance as everything else in Automette.

Do signers need an Automette account?

No. They sign from the link in their email. Only the person sending needs an account.

What does the signed PDF include?

The document with every signature and value drawn on it, and a certificate of completion: who signed, their email address, when they opened, agreed and signed, their IP address, and the document's fingerprint. The PDF carries a digital seal, so a PDF reader shows it as changed if anyone edits it after signing.

Can I keep the certificate out of the signed PDF?

Yes. Untick the setting before sending, and the signed PDF keeps the same pages as the original. The certificate is always available to download on its own.

What if I sent it to the wrong email address?

Edit the signer on the request's page. The new address gets a fresh link, and the old one stops working.
