# How Do I Connect E-Signature Software to Internal Approvals?

You connect e-signature software to internal approvals by linking the signing step directly to the record's own approval history, so status stays tracked in one continuous place, not managed separately in a signature tool alone. On **Jestor**, confirmed integrations like **DocSign** connect directly to native automation.

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

## What breaks when signing happens outside the process

- No visibility into signature status from within the approval'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 approval and signature together

## How integrated e-signature tracking works

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

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- E-signature tools like DocSign are confirmed integrations, not a theoretical capability
- Approval 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 approval and signing lifecycle

| Approval stage    | Where it is tracked       |
| ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| Approval decision | Record's approval history |
