E-Sign templates provide pre-designed formats or layouts tailored for capturing electronic signatures using Zoho Sign. Customize your E-Sign templates according to your organizational needs and easily select the appropriate ones to send to employees across your organization.
E-sign templates can be created in Zoho People only with an integration to the Zoho Sign platform. Adobe Sign and DocuSign integrations do not support template creation in Zoho People.
