I know that there are plenty of applications that allow for signatures to be added toa document by pulling in MOnday columns. Such as docusign.
But is there anyway someone can just add a signature to a column by simply clicking into it and signing? Similar to how you can now add a signature to a form, but that can only be signed by the submitter.
I’m looking for something where the use case is that a submitter submits the form, but after it’s creation multiple approvers get notified and then have to sign off on the form. But I’d like them to be able to sign the form by just going into the board, which is hard because you can’t edit a submission by a different person after it’s been submitted (technically)
Are there any apps or ideas for away that the reviewer can review AND add a signature to a monday board form submission?
You can have reviewers sign a Monday form submission by using a File column where each person uploads their signature as an image. Once all signatures are uploaded, you can use DocCreate to automatically generate a document that includes the form data and all the uploaded signature images. This way, multiple people can review and sign off on a submission directly from the board without needing external signature tools.
Here’s a quick demo to see it in action: Watch Demo
And if you want to try it out, here’s the install link: Install DocCreate
Hey @CFranklyn11 you can do it with SuperForm app, as it allows editing existing items via form and it allows signatures.
You can create a really nice flow where each approver gets automatically a link to his email when his turn to sign, it opens a form with a place to sign and it all goes back to the same item.
Reach out to support@spot-nik.com if have issues setting that up.
Currently, Monday.com does not natively support in-board signature capture like you see in forms. However, you can achieve this using third-party apps like DocuSign or PandaDoc via integrations. For a more native feel, you could use apps like Signature Column (available in the Monday Apps Marketplace), which allow users to draw or upload a signature directly into a column. To enable editing by reviewers, you may need to adjust board permissions or use automations/integrations that assign item ownership temporarily, allowing approvers to sign off directly within the board after submission.
To add signatures to a column in Monday.com, here’s how you can do it, depending on what you mean by “signatures” — digital signatures (for approvals), user initials, or name-based confirmation.
Using a Text or People Column for Manual Signatures
If you just need a simple signature confirmation:
Option A: Text Column
Add a new “Text” column.
People can type in their name (e.g., “John Smith”) or initials as a signature.
Optional: Use @mention to tag users (won’t prevent editing, but adds clarity).
Option B: People Column
Add a “People” column.
Users assign themselves as the signer.
This works well for accountability, especially in approval flows.
Using a Status Column for Signature Approval
Set up a Status column named “Signed Off”:
Options like: Pending, Approved, Rejected
Combine with Automations:
“When status changes to Approved, notify [someone]”
Track approvals in an audit-friendly way
Using a Form View (for External Signatures)
If you need external users (e.g., clients) to sign:
Create a Form View of your board
Include:
Name field
Date field
Email (optional)
External parties can fill this out to “sign off”
Using Integrations for Real Digital Signatures
If you want legal e-signatures, integrate tools via Make.com (Integromat) or Zapier:
I totally get where you’re coming from. You might want to check out GetSign for a comprehensive solution. With GetSign, you can create forms directly in the GetSign Editor and leverage the multi-level signing order feature.
Here’s how it can streamline your workflow:
Form Creation:You can build forms within GetSign that include all necessary fields (text, image uploads, and more). This makes it easy to capture the information you need from the initial submitter.
Signing Order: Once the form is submitted by the first signer and signed by the initial person, it automatically moves through the configured approval chain. This means each subsequent approver (like a manager, director, etc.) gets the document in sequence to sign off, ensuring a smooth and organized approval process.
Streamlined Approvals: This setup allows each approver to sign directly from the email link, and once all signatures are collected, the final document is stored right on the monday board.
This combination of features in GetSign could be exactly what you’re looking for to streamline your approval workflows!
