FAQs

To embed an eSignature in your application, begin by setting up a request with the airSlate SignNow API, ideally in a sandbox, to safely test without affecting your main environment. Modify this request to include details like security tokens and document specifics. Next, obtain a role ID to identify the signer's role in the document and use this to create a signing link. When clicked within your app, CRM, or website, this link enables users to sign the document directly, streamlining the entire signing process.
