When configuring the Document Signing Stage, users will need to first start by creating a document template. When using the document signing stage and creating the template, you have the option of using our native document signing tool Dropbox Sign (formerly known as HelloSign) or DocuSign.
Dropbox Sign: Fountain offers Dropbox Sign as the default tool for any Document Signing stages. Dropbox Sign allows users to create custom document signing templates to send to applicants as well as add Merge Keys to auto-fill data provided by applicants earlier in the application.
DocuSign: As an alternative to Dropbox Sign, customers can also use DocuSign. The functionality of DocuSign is very similar to Dropbox Sign. However, if the customer prefers to use a separate DocuSign account, they must create their account through the DocuSign website.
Both Dropbox Sign and DocuSign offer a number of key features that can be integrated into the Document Signing Stage. Below is an overview of each provider’s capabilities:
