When a bundle is created. It is sent off for digital signing and can be also assigned view actions.
FuseSign offers two different modes for document signing: Sign Entire Document and Signature Placeholders.
Endpoint defaults to Sign Entire Document mode. Only when CustomerInputElements are present in Documents of this payload is Signature Placeholders mode enabled.
Both methods of signing include a true digital signature using computer technology to authenticate the signature by way of attaching a transcript and embedding a digital certificate validating who signed the documents and protecting the information from tampering.
We recommend uploading your documents to to use parameter DocumentId rather than DocumentUrl.
Sign Entire Document means that visual signature images will not be placed on specific locations in the documents. This method significantly reduces the complexity of creating and sending bundles. The signer is effectively agreeing to approving and digitally signing the entire document and the contents contained within the document. They agree to the terms of digital signing by agreeing to the terms when they sign.
FuseSign will place the signers' initials on each page of the document if this option is enabled in your . The initials will be placed on each page of the entire bundle and cannot be toggled on a bundle basis.
Signature Placeholders means that when preparing a bundle, the user will add a ‘signature placeholder’ to assign each of the specific locations within the documents where your recipients' signature will visually appear.
This method does not include signers' initials on each page, even if this option is enabled in your Administrative Settings.
If a recipient has a signing action on a document, at least one of these placeholders will be required. When your recipient signs, their signature will appear on the document where you place these.
Standard - Adds a standard signature placeholder to the document
WithDate - Similar to the above, but also automatically adds the signing date below the signature
These options allow your users to fill out additional information on your document. You can also set properties for these inputs from the right panel to make them mandatory, or to assign a default value.
TextLine - Adds a single text line for your recipient to fill in
CheckBox - Adds a checkbox to the document, that can be checked by the recipient
Date - Allows your recipient to manually fill in a date
Paragraph - Adds a multi-line text input that you recipient can fill in
These stamps do not require any interaction from your recipient and will be automatically filled when the document is finalised.
SignedDate - Automatically stamps the date the document was signed by this recipient.
SignerName - Automatically stamps the signer’s name
Placement type is another property of CustomerInputElements . There are two options for placement:
If the documents you are sending from your API are the same every time, we recommend this mode.
It uses X, Y, W and H to set the dimensions of the placeholder. (X / Y is the co-ordinate from the top left of the page)
If the documents in dynamic and you require placeholders in different locations we recommend this mode.
Specify AnchorText to have the display over the text found.
Tips for AnchorText
Use a special / unique word without any special characters
Keep it short and simple but not a subset of other words
Should be hidden by having the colour match the background. Ie. white.
You can also specify the AnchorFindCountthat is the number of instances being placed (0 = unlimited)
A complex example payload for the endpoint:
We recommend creating a bundle in our app at , dragging and dropping placeholders to get the exact co-ordinate you need:
Standard placeholder at the top of the page
