Signature Places

Each recipient has a key that identifies them within an envelope. In an employment contract, for example, the keys can be manager and employee.

SignatureAPI uses placeholders to identify where each signature should go in a document. It uses the recipient’s key to find their signing place.

The format of a signature placeholder is like this [[key.signature]], where key is the recipient’s key.

For example, in an employment contract, the place where the manager signs is marked:

[[manager.signature]]

and where the employee signs, is marked:

[[employee.signature]]

In the document, placeholders will look like this:

After signing, the document will look like this:

We recommend changing the placeholder text color to white. This will make the placeholders invisible in the document:
