Configure your signers

Add signers with static emails or pull from Airtable fields. Set sequential or parallel signing.

3

Once all signers complete, the signed PDF with Certificate of Completion saves to your Airtable record.

Automate the workflow

Trigger document generation and signing automatically with an Airtable checkbox, Airtable Automation, or webhook. No manual clicks needed.
