Signers don't have to wait for an email from Signi — you can trigger signing directly in your own application. This is handy when the customer needs to sign right away: at a branch, in an e-shop during an order, in a client portal.
How to do it
- Create the document via API as usual.
- In the response you'll get a signing link for each person in the
notificationsfield:
{
"contract_id": 1234567,
"state": "pending",
"notifications": [
{ "email": "vas@email.cz",
"links": { "contract": "https://app.signi.com/dashboard/workspace/…/documents/1234567" } },
{ "email": "zakaznik@email.cz",
"links": { "contract": "https://app.signi.com/signing/…/received" } }
]
}
- Open the link directly in your application — either by redirecting or in an embedded window. The signer goes through the standard Signi signing wizard.
- You'll learn about completion via a webhook or by querying the document status.
Meanwhile, emails from Signi still go out as normal — signing can happen either way, whichever comes first.
Signing on a single device
When you sign with the customer face to face (branch, business meeting), enable this in settings:
"settings": { "one_device": true }
The counterparty then won't get their own link (their link in notifications is empty) — they sign together with the proposer on the proposer's device. It can also be set only for selected people — see Signing on a single device.
