Getting Started with Agreements

The Agreements API lets you create, configure, and manage digital signing processes with full control and minimal complexity.


Simplifying E-Signing​

E-signing involves many moving parts — document preparation, participant roles, secure identity handling, and notification flows. The Agreements API abstracts this complexity. You define how the agreement should work; we handle the secure delivery, orchestration, and compliance.


Core Features of the Agreements API​


Signature Levels​

  • Simple Electronic Signatures (SES) — Ideal for standard agreements with minimal formal requirements.
  • Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) — Adds secure identity verification for higher-trust use cases.

Communication Control​

  • Automatic Notifications — Let Zigned handle emails and reminders to keep things on track.
  • Custom Messages — Attach short, personalized notes to participant invitations using Markdown and dynamic variables.

Document Management​

  • Flexible Structure — Each agreement has one main document but can include unlimited attachments.

Signing Order and Groups​

  • Customizable Signing Flow — Define whether participants sign in sequence, in parallel groups, or all at once.

Participant Roles​

  • Granular Permissions — Assign roles like signer, approver, or observer to control what each participant can do.
  • Observers — Add read-only participants who can follow the process but don't need to take action.

Post-Signing Callbacks​

  • Workflow Integration — Automatically redirect participants or trigger events after signing is complete.
