eSignature
Secure electronic signatures with industry-standard cryptographic methods, supporting typed, drawn, and uploaded signature images and guaranteeing tamper-evident completed documents for guest agreements and vendor contracts.
In the United States, electronic signatures executed via signNow typically meet ESIGN and UETA requirements when intent and authentication are evident; hospitality organizations should confirm additional rules for HIPAA or FERPA where guest health or educational records are involved.
Secure electronic signatures with industry-standard cryptographic methods, supporting typed, drawn, and uploaded signature images and guaranteeing tamper-evident completed documents for guest agreements and vendor contracts.
Reusable, fillable document templates for reservations, waivers, and service agreements that reduce repetitive authoring work and ensure consistent field placement and required signer inputs across properties.
Prebuilt connectors and open APIs to link with CRM systems, property management systems, Google Docs, and cloud storage to automate document population and return signed records to the source system.
Workflow rules, automatic reminders, and conditional routing to accelerate signature cycles, reduce manual handoffs, and enforce business rules for hospitality approvals and renewals.
Comprehensive audit logs capturing timestamps, IP addresses, and signer actions to support dispute resolution, compliance reporting, and internal audits in regulated hospitality contexts.
Role-based permissions, single sign-on options, and team-level settings to control document visibility and editing rights across departments and franchise partners.
Two-way document flows allow templates authored in Google Docs to be exported for signing, and completed signed PDFs to be saved back to the originating document location, simplifying collaboration between operations and corporate teams.
Direct integrations or API connectors enable field mapping from guest or vendor records into signing templates, eliminating manual data entry when generating agreements from Apptivo or other CRM records.
Native connectors to Dropbox, Google Drive, and other repositories ensure signed documents synchronize to existing storage locations used by hospitality teams for recordkeeping and audits.
Template libraries with required fields, conditional logic, and role assignments provide consistent contract structure across properties and reduce the risk of missing essential clauses in guest or vendor agreements.
