# Can I Connect E-Signature Tools to Internal Contract Workflows?

Yes, e-signature tools can connect to internal contract workflows, keeping signature status tracked directly on the contract's own record instead of managed separately in the signature tool alone. On **Jestor**, this includes confirmed integrations like **DocSign**, connected to native automation.

Sending a document out for external signature, then manually tracking whether it came back signed, breaks the same continuity structured approval flows are built to provide.

## What breaks when signing happens outside the process

- No visibility into signature status from within the contract's own record
- A separate login needed just to check if a document has been signed
- The final signed copy not automatically reattached to the original record
- No single history spanning drafting, approval, and signature

## How integrated e-signature tracking works

- A contract ready for signature can connect to a tool like **DocSign** as part of the flow
- Signature status can be tracked directly on the contract's own record
- The signed document can attach back to the original record, depending on configuration
- This keeps version history, approval, and signature status in one continuous record

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- E-signature tools like DocSign are confirmed integrations, not a theoretical capability
- Contract version history and signature status live in the same place
- No separate login needed just to check a pending signature
- One continuous record spans the entire contract lifecycle

| Contract stage               | Where it is tracked |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------- |
| Drafting and version history | Contract record     |
