• No-Code Automation: Build powerful workflows visually, connecting SignNow with apps like Google Sheets, CRMs, and cloud storage platforms—no programming required.
• Customizable Scenarios: Use Make/Integromat’s scenario builder to map out multi-step processes, such as sending documents for signature when a new row is added to a spreadsheet or archiving signed PDFs to cloud storage.
• Advanced API Access: For advanced users, the HTTP module lets you interact directly with the SignNow API, unlocking custom queries and deeper integrations.
• Time and Error Reduction: Automate repetitive tasks to minimize manual data entry, reduce errors, and accelerate document turnaround times.

Getting Started: Prerequisites and Account Setup

Before building your first integration, ensure you have active accounts for both SignNow and Make/Integromat. If you’re new to SignNow, you can sign up here. Once your accounts are ready, connect SignNow to Make/Integromat by authorizing access—this typically involves logging in and granting permissions. Make sure you have the necessary admin rights to access the required modules and APIs. For organizations, it’s recommended to coordinate with your IT or security team to ensure compliance with internal policies.

Exploring Available SignNow Modules and Actions in Make/Integromat

Make/Integromat offers a variety of SignNow modules designed to automate common eSignature tasks. These modules allow you to:

• Send signature invites automatically when a trigger event occurs in another app (e.g., a new lead in your CRM).
• Retrieve document statuses to monitor progress and trigger follow-up actions.
• Download signed documents and save them to cloud storage or attach them to emails.
• Extract data from completed forms for use in reporting or downstream processes.

You can combine these modules with actions from other apps to create end-to-end automated workflows. For example, when a new row is added to a Google Sheet, you can automatically generate a document in SignNow, send it for signature, and archive the signed PDF to Dropbox—all within a single scenario.

Using HTTP Requests for Custom API Integrations

For advanced automation needs, Make/Integromat’s HTTP module allows you to interact directly with the SignNow API. This unlocks the full range of SignNow’s capabilities, enabling you to:

• Send custom API requests to create, update, or delete documents.
• Trigger complex workflows based on specific events or data conditions.
• Integrate with apps not natively supported by Make/Integromat.

To use this feature, you’ll need your SignNow API credentials and a basic understanding of RESTful APIs. Make/Integromat provides detailed documentation and a user-friendly interface for configuring HTTP requests, so even users with limited technical experience can experiment with advanced integrations.

Step-by-Step Guide: Creating Your First Automated Scenario

Let’s walk through a practical example of building an automated workflow that sends a SignNow document for signature when a new row is added to a Google Sheet. This scenario demonstrates the power and flexibility of Make/Integromat’s visual builder.

How to Create an Automated SignNow Scenario in Make/Integromat

1. Connect Your Apps Start by linking your Google Sheets and SignNow accounts to Make/Integromat. In the Make/Integromat dashboard, add Google Sheets and SignNow as modules in your scenario. Authorize each app by logging in and granting the necessary permissions. This ensures Make/Integromat can access your data and perform actions on your behalf.
2. Set Up the Trigger Choose the event that will start your workflow. Select Google Sheets as your trigger app and configure the trigger event (e.g., 'New Row Added'). Specify the spreadsheet and worksheet to monitor. This step ensures your workflow activates whenever new data is entered.
   
3. Configure the SignNow Action Define what happens in SignNow when the trigger fires. Add a SignNow module as the next step. Choose an action such as 'Create Document from Template & Send Role-Based Invite.' Map the data from your Google Sheet to the document fields, specify signer roles, and customize the invitation message.
   
4. Set Signing Order and Custom Fields Personalize the signing process for each recipient. Assign signing order numbers to each recipient, enter their email addresses, and fill in any custom fields required for the document. You can also lock certain fields to prevent editing by signers.
   
5. Test and Activate Your Scenario Ensure everything works as expected before going live. Run a test to verify that the workflow triggers correctly and that documents are sent as intended. Once satisfied, activate the scenario using the toggle switch. You can monitor and manage your automation from the Make/Integromat dashboard.
   

Best Practices for Workflow Automation and Troubleshooting

• Start Simple: Begin with basic scenarios to familiarize yourself with the platform before building complex automations.
• Use Descriptive Naming: Clearly name your scenarios and modules to make maintenance easier as your automation library grows.
• Test Thoroughly: Always test your workflows with sample data to catch errors early and ensure expected outcomes.
• Monitor Activity: Regularly review logs and notifications in Make/Integromat to identify and resolve issues quickly.
• Leverage Community Resources: Take advantage of Make/Integromat’s documentation, forums, and support channels for troubleshooting and inspiration.
