Zoho Sign

Zoho Sign

The Zoho Sign field allows you to collect legally binding signatures directly within your form. Unlike the Zoho Sign integration, this field uses documents created in Zoho Forms to map fields and capture signatures within the form itself. 

Imagine you are a property manager who needs to collect signed rental agreements from tenants. Instead of creating a document in a separate application, sharing it via email, and waiting for a signature, the Zoho Sign Field lets you use the document created in Zoho Forms, capture legally binding signatures, and finalize everything without leaving the form.

Prerequisites:

  1. Zoho Forms subscription - Basic plan and above with PDF credits.
  2. Zoho Sign subscription - Enterprise or Zoho One plan

Form Creation

Before adding the Zoho Sign field, create a form to collect the recipient's details.
  1. Drag and drop the Name and Email fields into your form.
  2. Add any additional fields whose values you want to appear in the signed document, such as Property Address, Lease Term, or Rent Amount.
Notes
Note: The recipient's Name and Email are required to configure the Zoho Sign field. The following field types are supported for mapping the Name: Name, Single Line, Dropdown, and Radio.

Form Building

Document Creation and Field Mapping

Create or choose your agreement or contract document using the Zoho Forms PDF Editor. 
PDF Editor
  1. Drag and drop the necessary form fields like Name, Email, Date into the document template.

Field Properties

Field Properties

Field Label: Enter a desired name for the field.
Field Mapping: Edit your mapped Name and Email fields here if needed.
Allow Signing on Embedded Forms: Enable this if you plan to embed the form on an external website and collect signatures from there.
  1. Once enabled, click Add Domain button. The Add Domain pop-up will appear.
  2. Enter your domain name and click Done.
  3. To authorize multiple sites, click + Add Domain in the top-right corner.
File Name: The name assigned here will be the file name for the signature image when pushed to other applications.

What happens when the form is shared?

Once the form is shared:
  1. The respondents will enter their details, such as name, email and other necessary details and submits the form.
  2. A document is automatically generated where the form values are mapped directly into the template.
  3. The respondent can read to ensure the details in the document and finalize it to create a legally binding document.
  4. The form owner can view the documents and their status by clicking the View Status in Zoho Sign field Status. This redirects them to their Zoho Sign account where they can view the document.
Now, let’s look at how this works in real time using a Rental Agreement scenario.

Form Creation: The property manager creates a Tenant Application Form to collect essential details such as Name, Email, and Current Address.
Template Design: Next, the manager creates a Rental Agreement template in the Zoho Forms PDF Editor. They insert field labels into the template so that the tenant's responses like name and email are automatically mapped into the correct positions within the agreement.
Zoho Sign Field: The manager adds a Zoho Sign field to the form. In the field creation, they map the Tenant Name and Email Address form fields to the Zoho Sign configuration.
Real-Time Generation & Signing: When a tenant submits the form, the tenant’s details are instantly merged into the agreement. They can then review and finalize the document on the spot and a legally binding document will be generated.
