E-Signatures

Signatures that happen inside the flow

Sending a separate DocuSign link for every engagement letter is one more step where clients drop off. Portico embeds signatures directly in the onboarding — clients sign as step 3, not as a separate email they forget about.

The signature bottleneck

Your contract is ready. Now you need the client to actually sign it.

Separate tool, separate link, separate follow-up

You send the onboarding form, then a DocuSign link, then a payment link. Each extra step is another chance for the client to stall.

Overkill for engagement letters

Full e-signature platforms are built for complex contract workflows. You just need a signed engagement letter at the start of every client relationship.

Another subscription to manage

DocuSign, HelloSign, PandaDoc — each adds monthly cost, another login, and another tool your team has to learn.

Signatures disconnected from client records

Signed documents live in the e-signature platform. Client info lives in your intake tool. You manually connect the two.

Client signing an agreement in the onboarding flow

Clients read terms and sign as a step in the onboarding — draw or type their signature without leaving the page.

Signed document with timestamp and IP

Signed agreements are timestamped and stored with the client record. Download or export as PDF.

Adding a signature field in the form builder

Add a signature step alongside form fields, file uploads, and payment collection.

How it works

From setup to done

1

Add a signature field to your template

Drag a signature field into any step of your onboarding template. Add the agreement text clients will read before signing.

2

Clients sign in context

When clients reach the signature step, they read the terms and sign — draw or type. No app switch, no separate email.

3

Legally binding record

Each signature is timestamped with the signer's IP address. ESIGN Act and eIDAS compliant.

4

Stored with the client record

Signed documents are attached to the client's onboarding. View from the dashboard, export as a branded PDF, or download individually.

What's included

Draw or type signatures

Clients choose their preferred method. Both produce a legally binding record.

Inline in the onboarding flow

Signatures are a step in the form — not a separate tool or email. Clients stay in one experience.

Legally compliant

ESIGN Act and eIDAS compliant. Timestamped with IP address logging.

Stored with client records

Signed documents are attached to the onboarding, not scattered across a separate platform.

Track signing status

See who has signed and who has not from your onboarding dashboard. Automated reminders follow up.
