Collect e-signatures with Airtable and Fillout

Collecting Signatures Online Made Easy

In the age of digital transformation, the need to collect signatures online has become increasingly crucial for businesses. Whether you require signatures on a contract, an important document, or a form, we have a solution that will streamline your process and make your life easier.

An Overview of Online Signature Collection

The conventional process of collecting signatures is often time-consuming and inefficient, involving physical documents, ink signatures, and often snail mail or in-person meetings. Today, we'll guide you through a process that allows you to collect signatures digitally using an innovative tool known as Fillout.

Making Use of Fillout for Online Signature Collection

Fillout is a flexible and powerful no-code tool that allows you to create forms. A versatile feature of Fillout is its ability to collect signatures online. This feature is ideal for businesses that need to collect signatures often. The procedure is simple and user-friendly.

You start by creating a form - a crisp and professional-looking one. Choose a design theme that resonates with your business's aesthetics, and get started. You can name the form according to its purpose, for instance, 'signature collection.'

Form Fields and Gathering Data

The first task is to gather some basic data - the name of the person and their email. Fillout offers an array of field options to make your data collection tailored to your needs. The search fields allow you to find the type of data you aim to collect quickly and easily.

The true innovation of Fillout lies in its signature field. With this, your form can collect not just text or email but actual signatures.

User Experience with the Signature Field

The signature field in Fillout is simplistic in design, making it simple for the user. The user has different options to digitalize their handwriting. They can choose to draw the signature directly onto the form or type it out. You can also upload the signature if it's already in a digitized format. It's as easy as one, two, three!

Within just a few clicks, you can map the signature field from your Fillout form to your Airtable sheet.

Generating and Storing PDFs

What's even more impressive is you can generate a PDF that includes the signature obtained from the form. Enriched with the user’s responses, this automatically generated PDF can also be stored directly into Airtable. Such an automated flow not only simplifies the process but also significantly reduces manual work and the possibility of errors.
