Signature Element

Forms and Surveys allow you to collect information on your customers; sometimes, the details you collect will be more sensitive. Or, might use them to onboard customers to receive your services, including by getting them to agree to your terms of service. In those cases, e-signatures will come in handy!

This element allows you to collect e-signatures for various purposes, such as contracts, agreements, and consent forms, which is particularly useful when you need legally binding signatures. It can also be used as an extra confirmation, ensuring customers are more aware they agree to something, such as sharing information or accepting T&C.
