We are working on an automated proposal/contract signing workflow with the following steps:
STEP 1: Create a Word document template with Monday.com column placeholders, where data from Monday.com is dynamically inserted. STEP 2: Generate the contract when the “Create Contract” button is clicked in Monday.com (this is successfully handled using DocuGen). STEP 3: Send an E-Sign invite when the “Send Contract” button is clicked, triggering an email to the client associated with the item. STEP 4: Track the signing process in real-time, ensuring the client is directed to sign at a designated placeholder at the bottom of the document and receiving a notification upon completion.
We are facing challenges with Steps 3 & 4 in finding a suitable E-Signature platform that:
Allows placement of signing placeholders at a specific location in the document.
Automatically directs the client to sign at the assigned placeholders.
Supports real-time tracking of the signing process within or outside Monday.com.
We have tried several platforms, including GetSign, SignNow, PandaDoc, and Adobe Sign, but none have met our exact requirements.
Has anyone successfully implemented a similar workflow, or can recommend an E-Signature platform that integrates well with Monday.com and supports these features?
Any guidance or recommendations would be highly appreciated!
I’m pretty certain Docugen would help with that. As of now, I’ve only used the ‘generate’ portion of their app but they do also have a ‘signature’ portion. Couldn’t hurt to check it out.
I have this exact same use case, and we have been using GetSign for about 2 years now. Excellent product, excellent service. I’m surprised that you have had trouble with it - we use it and it works great for your steps 3 and 4 without any issue.
Can you elaborate a bit on the issues you’re running into?
@Timothy7 Looks like GetSign is the right solution for you. It let’s you use DOCx as a template, Generate contracts, send e-sign invites and track the proccess in real time - WIth GetSign you can use signign place holders and have recipients sign the contract in easy to use mobile and desktop experience.

We have implemented the use of PandaDoc with our Monday.com. We sign contracts where multiple parties sign. Of course, we set up our templates. Then, I set up a board that feeds the data into it. Then I added a form to that. The form/board entries auto-populate into the template document copy, and then we have the option to send a link or email directly. What was not working with PandaDoc for you @Nir-Jetpack?
we can integrate a robust e-signature solution that perfectly aligns with Monday.com. The key here is to use an e-signature platform that allows precise placement of signing fields, real-time tracking, and seamless automation within Monday.com. Based on your requirements, here’s the plan:
Use Make.com or Zapier to connect Monday.com with an e-signature platform like DocuSign, SignRequest, or HelloSign ensuring that when the “Send Contract” button is clicked, an invite is triggered.
*Predefine signature fields using templates, so clients are directed to sign at the correct placeholders.
Enable real-time status tracking by syncing e-signature events (e.g., document viewed, signed, completed) back into Monday.com using webhooks or API connections.
Hi all, we too have the exact same use case and have struggled with part is this.
We have used docugen for all steps.
But maybe the posters original challenge is the same one we have.
When you use a dynamic contract builder to generate off the template, the document sometimes gets shorter or longer than the template with the data entered in those fields (they aren’t fixed width fields, they are dynamic so adjust based on the data). This then causes the signature field / line to move around, then having the exact spot not line up anymore.
Is this what some of you have fully solved with docugen or this other platform above noted?
