How e-signing works in Hippoly
-
Word, Excel and PDF, on any device
Send any file Hippoly can turn into a PDF for e-signing, straight from its folder. They can sign on a phone, laptop or tablet.
-
Members and outside signers
Pick the signers and send the document. Board members and outside signers alike get a link by email, and outside signers don’t need an account. Let everyone sign in any order, or set the order yourself.
-
As much checking as the document needs
A click is enough, or you can add a one-time code by text for an extra check. Where a national e-ID is available, signers can use it instead. Today that’s BankID, MitID and FTN.
-
Track every signature
You’ll know who you’re still waiting for, and you can nudge anyone who hasn’t signed. When everyone’s done, the signed PDF replaces the file, and the unsigned version stays in its history.
-
