Send document with in-person signing using API
In-person signing is a crucial feature employed by organizations to enhance the credibility and validity of signatures, promoting a higher level of trust and accountability in the signing process. BoldSign offers a streamlined approach to sending documents with in-person signing capabilities using its API. The designated in-person host can be set using the hostEmail
parameter.
It is important to note that only individuals within your organization can act as hosts for in-person signing sessions. To ensure clarity and privacy, the email address of the in-person host should be distinct from that of the recipients.
