Who can use this feature?
All users
With e-signatures, you can easily sign documents from anywhere, at any time, on any device all within the security of Qwil and now also by email. There is no additional application, it all happens within the same chat or via browser.
Qwil Sign uses encryption and authentication measures to ensure that every signature is authentic, legal and includes a certificate upon completion to provide a full audit trail for an extra layer of security.
Signing documents are on Desktop
What to expect?
- You will receive a signature request within a chat thread, like any other message with a document to preview and sign on desktop.
- In most cases, the requestor will have prepared the PDF with Qwil Sign anchors (fields) indicating where to sign, like any other e-signature application you are familiar with. Learn more.
- If there are no specified fields to sign on the PDF, a new signature page will be appended to the PDF file.
- You can preview the document on mobile but will need to sign in on a browser or desktop to sign so you have he full view.
- You will also need to agree that you understand that your e-signature is a legal representation of your signature. With Qwil, we don't rely on just giving you the choice of cursive fonts which will be used to represent your "real" signature, all e-signatures are authenticated by unique identifiers in additional to every user being already verified on the platform!
- Once you sign, all parties will receive a new message with the completed document to view and download. All within the same chat thread.
- You can also decline to sign a document. You will need to provide a reason for declining.
- Butler notifications will be send daily to remind signers and requestors of the pending signature request. (Email reminders will be released in Q3 2023).
Sign a document:
On web:
- On the signature request click on Preview & Sign.
- A preview will open. If a templated PDF has been used with Qwil Sign anchors, you will see where your signature or initials will be added. If a normal PDF was sent, a signature page will be added to the end. Both ways are legal e-signatures.
- Click on Sign document. A modal will open.
- A new message will be sent to the chat with the signed document for you to preview or download.
A certificate page will be added to the end of the document as well as the Qwil Signature Request ID on all pages.
Certificate page (upon completion at the end of the PDF)
Signature page (for non templated PDF requests)
Decline to sign a document:
On web:
- On the signature request click on Decline to sign
- A preview will open. Click on Decline to sign.
- A modal will open. You will need to provide a reason for declining.
- Type your reason and click Decline.
