Automate your Contracts with eSign
You can automate agreements from our Google Docs sign template in a few easy steps. It is simple to create electronic signatures with your contracts. After you have opened Portant Workflow, copy the Google Docs contract workflow, connect your source, then customise your template and finally click ‘Automate’, and voila!, you have automated your contracts with eSign!
We know how painful and monotonous it can be to copy and paste data into an contract template and then request someone to sign it. That is why we have come to the rescue.
With Portant you can copy our contract template, click a few buttons and recipients will be requested to sing contracts using Portant’s online portal. Once everyone has signed, the contracts will be automatically shared via customised emails. Signing contracts has never been so easy, just select the options you require and place your eSignatures on autopilot.

Step 2
Choose your own agreement file (optional)
When you copy the template, Portant will create a Google Docs contract template and form automatically. However you can select your own Google Docs contract template if you have one.
If you select a new spreadsheet or form, remember to update the tags in your template document.
Step 3
Customise the template (optional)
If you have added your own contract template, you will need to open the document block and add tags into your document.
Step 4
Turn on Auto-create 🎉
Turn on auto-create, and every time your workflow runs, the recipients will be asked to create electronic signatures. The signed documents will also be emailed to you, your customers and also stored in a folder in your Google Drive.
Easy as that 🙌
