When you first sign up for GetAccept you will not have a signature saved yet. Set one up before you send a document you need to sign yourself. If a document requires your signature and you have not saved one, the send is stopped and you are asked to set your signature up first.
For the system to capture and save your signature for future use, you will need to send a document out through GetAccept that has the "Sender will Sign this Document" option enabled.
How to create and save your handwritten signature
Save your signature from your profile
Go to Settings → My Profile.
Find the Signature section. Your current saved signature is shown here if you have one.
Draw your signature on the canvas, or type your name and we will style it for you.
Select Clear if you want to start the canvas again.
Select Save signature.
Your signature is saved to your profile and used whenever you sign a document.
If you send documents through the API and rarely open the web app, you can still set your signature from your profile. You do not need to send a document by hand to save one.
Save your signature while sending
You can also create your signature the first time you send a document you sign yourself. Go to Sending, select Prepare for Sending, then Sign and Send. A window opens asking you to create your signature. Select Reset if you want to draw it again.
Click on the Sending tab when you have finished your document
Click on Prepare for Sending
Click on Sign and Send
A new window will pop open, asking you to create your signature (You can use your mouse pad to sign or use the type to sign option)
Click on Reset if you want to create a new one
Your signature will now be saved for future send-outs. You will notice it appear on the final signature certificate as well as anywhere you place a sender signature field on your document or template.
You can also change your signature in the smartphone app. To do so, open the app, go to settings > My Signature, and draw the new one.
Press Save and the signature has now been updated.
If your document will not send
If a document requires your signature and you have not saved one, the send does not go through and you will see a message explaining what is missing. Save your signature from Settings → My Profile, then send again. This stops a document reaching your recipient that could never be completed.
