On Edusign, you can import, customize, and sign any type of PDF document. This system allows you to easily send agreements, contracts, or certificates of completion to your learners, speakers, or external partners, securely.


Why use this feature?

This feature allows you to:

  • Centralize training documents (agreements, contracts, certificates, etc.)

  • Automate the sending and secure electronic signing

  • Save time through data integration (first name, last name, dates, etc.)

📌 Note: Document signing requires specific credits, separate from those used for attendance.


Steps to send a document for signing

1. Create or import a document

  • Go to the Documents tab

  • Click on Send a document

  • Choose an existing template or import a PDF file via Add a document

✅ Maximum size: 10 MB
➕ You can use Edusign templates offered under My document templates.


2. Set up the document

  • Drag and drop the dynamic variables (name, first name, email…) from the right side menu

  • Add custom fields for signatories to fill in

  • Add an external signatory if necessary (e.g. alternating company)

⚠️ If another administrator needs to sign, add them as an external contact.


3. Add appendices (optional)

  • You can add one or more appendices to the document

  • They will be accessible via a link in the signature email


4. Select recipients

  • Choose one or more learners

  • Enable bulk sending to address a document to multiple people

  • Define a signature order if necessary

  • Add people in carbon copy (CC)

📌 A unique document per learner is generated with data filled in automatically.


5. Finalize and send

  • Customize the email content (subject and message)

  • Enable automatic reminders

  • Enable SMS code validation (if a number is provided)

  • Set an expiration date for the signature link

✅ Check the number of credits used, then click on Send.


6. Monitor the sending and retrieve the documents

  • All signatories receive an email containing the signature link

  • Once signed, each document is archived in the Documents tab

  • The signed PDF is accompanied by a timestamped proof file


7. Real-time signature tracking

  • Click on a document to see the sending and signature dates

  • Use the Overview to view live status

  • From the side panel: resend, download, or delete the document if needed


Frequently asked questions

Can multiple different documents be sent at one time?

No, each sending concerns only one unique document. However, group sending allows the same document to be sent to multiple recipients.

What if a signatory does not receive the email?

  • Check the email address in their profile

  • Resend from the document interface

  • If needed, contact our support via chat

Is SMS required?

No, SMS authentication is optional. It enhances security if the number is provided in the recipient's profile.
