PUBLISH

Publish a share link

Create a link from the Public links page or straight from any published template. Pick which signer role the link is for, pre-assign the rest, and a short, unique URL is minted - anyone with it can sign without an account.

  • Create from anywhere - The Public links page, the templates list, or a template's own page
  • One open role - Choose which role the visitor fills; pre-assign every other signer
  • Auto-generated URL - Each link gets a short, unique /start address
  • Several links per template - Run different links for different campaigns or roles

SHARE

Share it anywhere

The link is a plain URL, so it goes wherever your audience already is - your website, an email signature, a QR code, or a chat message.

  • Embed on your site - A link or button on any page
  • Email signature - A standing "sign this" link
  • QR code - On a poster, kiosk, or packaging
  • Chat - Paste it into Slack, Teams, or a DM

SIGN

Signers self-serve

A visitor opens the link, enters their name and email, and signs in the browser - no signup, no app. On multi-signer documents they sign their own role on the spot, and the co-signers you pre-assigned are emailed their turn in order.

  • No account needed - Visitors enter their name and email, then sign
  • Co-signers follow - Pre-assigned signers get emailed their turn automatically
  • Sign in the browser - Draw, type, or upload a signature
  • Your branding - Custom heading, message, and your logo on the landing page

CONTROL

Track & control every link

Each link has its own page showing the documents it created and its full activity trail. Set an expiry date or a usage cap, switch it off anytime, or reset it to a fresh URL if it spreads further than you meant - envelopes already in flight are unaffected.

  • Per-link page - Documents created, usage count, and an activity trail
  • Expiry & usage caps - Stop the link after a date or a number of uses
  • Reset the link - Mint a fresh URL instantly; the old one stops working
  • Disable anytime - Switch the link off without affecting in-flight envelopes

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a public share link?

It's a link to one of your templates that anyone can open and sign on their own - no account required. Each person who uses it gets their own copy of the document.

Do signers need an account?

No. A visitor opens the link, enters their name and email, and signs in the browser. There's no signup and no app to install.

How do I create a public link?

From the Public links page, or straight from any published template - both the templates list and a template's own page have a Create public link action. Pick which signer role the link is for, fill in the other signers, and copy the URL.

Can I choose the link URL?

The link is auto-generated as a short, unique /start address. Turning the link off and on keeps the same address, and if a link has spread further than you meant, Reset link mints a fresh URL and retires the old one instantly.

Does each submission become its own document?

Yes. Every visitor who uses the link gets their own separate envelope with its own recipients, fields, and complete audit trail.

Can I turn a link off?

Yes - disable it anytime. Documents already created from the link keep moving through signing; only new submissions are stopped. You can also set an expiry date or cap the total number of uses.

Can more than one person sign through one link?

Yes. When you create the link you pre-assign every signer except one open role. The visitor who opens the link fills that role and signs on the spot; the co-signers you assigned are emailed their turn in the document's signing order.

Can I customize what visitors see?

Yes. Each link can carry its own heading and welcome message, and the landing page shows your logo on paid plans - so the experience feels like yours, not ours.

Can people from my company join my workspace automatically?

Yes. With same-domain enrollment, new signups whose email matches your verified company domain can join your workspace automatically - or submit a request for an admin to approve. Personal email domains are never auto-enrolled.
