SignRequest consultants

Q: Is SignRequest legally valid for electronic signatures in Australia?

Electronic signatures are legally recognised in Australia under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 for most document types. SignRequest provides an audit trail with timestamps, IP addresses, and signer identification that supports legal validity. Some documents like statutory declarations and certain property transfers still require wet ink signatures under Australian law.

Q: Can SignRequest handle documents that need multiple signers in a specific order?

Yes. You can set up signing sequences where the document goes to signers in a defined order. The next signer only receives the document once the previous one has completed their signature. This is useful for contracts that need manager approval before going to a client, or multi-party agreements.

Q: How does SignRequest integrate with n8n for automated document workflows?

SignRequest has a REST API that works with n8n HTTP Request nodes. You can build workflows that automatically generate signing requests when a deal closes in your CRM, when an employee starts onboarding, or when a form submission triggers a contract. Webhooks notify your workflow when signing is complete.

Q: Can we use templates for contracts we send frequently?

Yes. SignRequest lets you create document templates with predefined signature fields, text fields, and checkboxes. When you send a document from a template, you just specify the recipients and any variable data. This is useful for employment contracts, NDAs, service agreements, and other standardised documents.

Q: What file formats does SignRequest accept?

SignRequest accepts PDF, Word (DOCX), and several other common document formats. Documents are converted to PDF for the signing process. The completed signed document is available as a PDF download with the signatures and audit trail embedded.

Q: How do we track which documents are still waiting for signatures?

The SignRequest dashboard shows the status of every document: sent, viewed, signed, or declined. You also receive email notifications when signers complete their signatures. Through the API or n8n integration, you can pull status data into your own tracking systems or trigger follow-up reminders automatically.

We can help you automate your business with SignRequest and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing SignRequest.

About SignRequest

SignRequest is a digital document signing platform that lets you send contracts, agreements, and forms for legally binding electronic signatures. It removes the printing, scanning, and posting loop from document workflows and gives you an audit trail showing exactly who signed what and when.

SignRequest supports multiple signers, signing order sequences, and document templates for contracts you send repeatedly. It integrates with Google Drive, Slack, and common business tools, and has an API for building signing workflows into your own applications or automation platforms like n8n.

For businesses that process a high volume of contracts, onboarding documents, or approval forms, connecting SignRequest to your existing systems eliminates the manual chasing and status checking that slows things down. If you want to automate document routing so the right contracts go to the right people at the right time, our business automation team can help you build that workflow.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement SignRequest

As SignRequest consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate SignRequest with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Create your SignRequest account and templates

Sign up for SignRequest and set up document templates for your most common contracts or forms. Position signature fields, date fields, and any text input fields where signers need to fill in information. This saves time on every future send.

Step 2

Connect SignRequest to your automation platform

In n8n or your workflow tool, set up an HTTP Request node pointed at the SignRequest API. Authenticate with your API key and test by sending a simple signing request to your own email address to confirm the integration works.

Step 3

Build document triggers from your business systems

Define what events should trigger a signing request. Examples include a deal reaching a certain stage in your CRM, a new employee record being created in your HR system, or a form submission on your website. Connect these triggers to the SignRequest API call.

Step 4

Configure signer details and signing order

Set up your workflow to dynamically populate signer email addresses, names, and signing order from your source data. If a contract needs internal approval before going to the client, configure the sequential signing order in the API request.

Step 5

Set up webhook callbacks for completion tracking

Register a webhook URL in SignRequest that receives notifications when documents are signed, declined, or expire. In n8n, add a Webhook node to receive these callbacks and trigger downstream actions like updating your CRM, notifying the sales team, or filing the signed document.

Step 6

Monitor and optimise your signing workflows

Review SignRequest analytics to identify bottlenecks. Look at average time to signature, documents that are viewed but not signed, and declined documents. Use this data to improve your document templates, adjust reminder timing, or add follow-up steps to your automation.
