Signing on a single device

Modified on Tue, 15 Sep at 11:58 AM

When the signers are together — at a branch, in a meeting — they can sign the document one after another on a single device, without waiting for emails. There are two options.

The whole document on a single device

In settings, enable one_device — all counterparties then sign on the proposer's device:

"settings": { "one_device": true }

Counterparties won't receive their own signing links. This works well combined with signing in an integrated application.

Only selected people on a single device

Mark specific people with the one_device field — those set to true sign on the shared device; those set to false receive their own invitation by email:

{
    "people": [
        { "is_proposer": true, "one_device": true, "email": "vas@email.cz", "contract_role": "sign",
          "positions": [ { "x": 30, "y": 80, "page": 0 } ] },
        { "is_proposer": false, "one_device": true, "email": "protistrana@email.cz", "contract_role": "sign",
          "first_name": "Jan", "last_name": "Novák", "person_type": "nature",
          "positions": [ { "x": 55, "y": 80, "page": 0 } ] },
        { "is_proposer": false, "one_device": false, "email": "reditel@email.cz", "contract_role": "sign",
          "first_name": "Petr", "last_name": "Svoboda", "person_type": "nature",
          "positions": [ { "x": 80, "y": 80, "page": 0 } ] }
    ],
    "file": "uploaded_file_key"
}

In the response, this is visible in the links — whoever signs on the shared device doesn't have their own link:

{
    "contract_id": 1234567,
    "state": "pending",
    "notifications": [
        { "email": "vas@email.cz",
          "links": { "contract": "https://app.signi.com/dashboard/workspace/…/documents/1234567" } },
        { "email": "protistrana@email.cz",
          "links": { "contract": "" } },
        { "email": "reditel@email.cz",
          "links": { "contract": "https://app.signi.com/signing/…/received" } }
    ]
}

In the example, the proposer and Jan Novák sign together on the proposer's device; Petr Svoboda receives the usual invitation by email.
