Getting started with eSignatures

Learn how to use eSignatures to get your forms back faster.

Getting online signatures from your families can be a bit of a challenge. Third-party software is not always the most user-friendly and printing, signing, and scanning can be a hassle.
That's why we're excited about eSignatures. It's simple for you and the family.

 

Note:  Contracts with Print and Sign turned on request signatures from the Goods & Services page. See how HERE.

Within a case find the Documents section. Then select Templates.

Family signing in the Planning Center

The person you picked for each role will get an email inviting them to sign the form(s).

If the person doesn't have a Planning Center account, they'll be asked to create one. If they already have an account, they'll be asked to log in.

From the email, they'll be taken directly to the eSignatures page within the Planning Center.

The signature status will show which forms have been signed and which ones need a signature.
