Electronic Signature

Formulr integrates with Yousign to offer certified electronic signatures directly in your processes.

How It Works

1. The user fills out the form
2. A PDF document is generated with their data
3. The document is sent to Yousign for signature
4. The user signs electronically
5. The signed document is archived

Prerequisites

Electronic signature is natively integrated into Formulr via Yousign, a French eIDAS-certified solution. No additional configuration is required.

Enable Signature

1. Go to Settings > Signature
2. Enable electronic signature
3. Choose the environment (Test/Production)

Create a Template with Signature

1. PDF Template

Create a document template including signature zones:

<div class="signature-zone">
  <p>Client signature:</p>
  {% raw %}{{s1|signature|210|130}}{% endraw %}
</div>

<div class="signature-zone">
  <p>Advisor signature:</p>
  {% raw %}{{s2|signature|210|130}}{% endraw %}
</div>

2. Signature Syntax

{{s[N]|signature|[width]|[height]}}

Parameter	Description
s[N]	Signer identifier (s1, s2, s3...)
width	Zone width in pixels
height	Zone height in pixels

3. Multiple Signers

For multiple signers, number sequentially:

• s1: First signer (e.g., client)
• s2: Second signer (e.g., advisor)
• s3: Third signer (e.g., witness)

Important

Numbers must be sequential (s1, s2, s3...). The editor alerts you if the sequence is incomplete.

Trigger Signature

From a Response

1. Open the response details
2. Generate the PDF document
3. Click "Send for signature"
4. Enter the signers' emails
5. Validate

Automatically via Workflow

Configure the workflow to trigger automatically:

1. Add a "Electronic signature" action
2. Associate the template
3. Map the signers
