Imagine this: you’re managing 30 contract signings across multiple clients, and each document needs to be signed today. Instead of dragging signature boxes around or manually prepping each file, what if you could let recipients sign anywhere on the page, with a single tap?

That’s what GetSign’s Auto Sign Anywhere feature delivers. Built for flexibility and speed, this new capability removes rigid signature placement rules and gives your team or clients the freedom to sign documents with ease—right inside your monday.com workflow.

Whether you’re moving away from Op.Sign or improving your digital signature experience, this feature simplifies the process while maintaining full visibility and control.

Why Auto Sign Anywhere matters

Traditional eSignature tools often slow down teams by requiring signers to find and click predefined boxes, resize signature fields, or scroll across long documents. This manual effort becomes a bottleneck.

With Auto Sign Anywhere, you can:

  • Eliminate rigid signature zones: Signers can tap anywhere on a document to place their signature—no boxes, no resizing.
  • Send documents faster: You don’t have to predefine fields or structure layouts for every file.
  • Avoid friction for recipients: Signers experience a cleaner, more intuitive interface.
  • Improve internal productivity: Teams can prepare and send documents in one streamlined flow without formatting issues.
  • Maintain workflow control: Every signing action is tracked, and statuses are updated in real-time in your monday.com board.

Let’s walk through how to use it.

Use case: Fast approvals for distributed teams

Scenario: An operations manager at a logistics firm needs quick sign-off on route approvals from 12 regional leads every Monday.

Problem: Each leader signs a similar PDF, but signature placement slows down turnaround due to formatting issues and confusion.

With Auto Sign Anywhere:

  • The ops team sends the same doc to all 12 leads
  • Each recipient signs with a single tap anywhere they feel comfortable
  • The board updates in real time, showing who has completed the signing

This dramatically reduces bottlenecks and makes sign-offs less formal, yet fully compliant.

Step-by-step: How to use Auto Sign Anywhere

Step 1: Create the necessary columns

Go to your monday.com board and click the + button to add:

  • A Status column (to track progress and automate dispatch)
  • An Email column (to store recipient addresses)
  • A Files column (to upload the documents to sign)

Tip: Default statuses appear initially. As documents move through the signing workflow, new statuses will load automatically.

Step 2: Select the “Sign Documents” workflow

Only the “Sign Documents” workflow in GetSign supports Auto Sign Anywhere.

  1. Open any item on your board
  2. Add a new view by clicking + Add View
  3. Select GetSign and choose Sign Documents

Step 3: Upload your document and enable Auto Sign Anywhere

In the GetSign tab:

  1. Upload your document
  2. Map the columns you created in Step 1
  3. Check the box labeled “Enable Auto Sign Anywhere”
  4. Select the email column for recipient mapping
  5. Click Save

Now your item is ready for dispatch.

Step 4: Verify your email

Before you can send:

  • A verification email will be sent to your address
  • Click the link in your inbox to confirm

This ensures secure delivery and avoids spam filters.

Step 5: Send the document

Click Send to dispatch the file. The recipient will:

  • Receive an email with a signing link
  • Tap or click anywhere on the document to sign
  • Trigger automatic updates in your board once completed

Features available:

  • Preview before sending
  • Download after signing

Step 6: Automate your workflow

Use monday.com’s automation to trigger document sending when the status changes.

In the Integration Center:

  • Search for: “When status changes to [X], send GetSign document for eSign”
  • Select your trigger status (e.g., “Ready to Send”)
  • Save the automation

This ensures future documents go out with zero manual clicks.
