How Do I Send a File for Signature?

Step-by-step guide to sending documents for signature in Albi.

Starting a Signature Request

  • Click the file’s menu
  • Select Signatures
  • Enter the recipient’s email address (required)
    • Names alone will not work. You must enter a valid email address for each signer.
    • As you type, staff members and any relationships linked to the project may appear as suggestions, but a valid email address is still required for every signer.

  • You can add one or more signer email addresses
    • If more than one email address is added, each address must be assigned a signature box
    • Users cannot be added to a document for view-only access. All listed email addresses must be signers. If a user does not need to sign, they may download the document after it has been signed.

  • Set an expiration date
    • This field is required
    • If not changed, it defaults to 90 days

  • Add a message (optional)

Optional:

  • Enable Request Payment Method
  • This option is only available if Albi Pay is enabled on your account.
  • First name (required)
  • Last name (required)
  • Referral source (required)
  • Type (required)

Choose:

  • Send and Close, or
  • Open Signature Editor

After sending the document, a confirmation pop-up will appear and the document status will change to “Sent for Signature.”

Note:

  • If there is more than one signer, you must open the Signature Editor and manually place signature boxes for each signer.
  • If signature boxes are not placed, they will default to a blank page in the document.
Once sent, the file is marked Sent for Signature.
