How to automate the signature collection process on internal contracts

Automating signature collection on internal contracts means connecting approval, sending for signature, and archiving in a single flow, without manual control. No-code platforms like Jestor help structure this process, linking approvals, documents, and signature integrations.

The pain behind the topic

Signature collection is usually manual: someone sends the contract, chases the response, and archives the signed document. When there are several steps and several signers, the process stalls.

Pending signatures get lost. No one knows where each contract stands, and the chasing becomes one person's daily task.

Automating removes that manual chasing. Each step advances on its own, and the status stays visible to everyone involved, without relying on reminder emails.

What signature automation solves

  • Contracts stuck awaiting signature with no follow-up
  • Lack of visibility into each document's status
  • Manual chasing of pending signatures
  • Disorganized archiving of signed documents
  • No history of who signed and when

How to structure the flow without code

  • Build the internal approval before sending for signature
  • Connect a digital signature integration to the flow
  • Link each contract to a card with phase and status
  • Track deadlines with SLA and alerts

Why Jestor makes this process easier

  • Approval flows with hierarchy and authority by value
  • Native integration with signature tools, like DocSign
  • Documents linked directly to cards and records
  • Over 400 native automations to connect the steps
