Dropbox Sign Integration

Send documents for legally binding signature directly from the GJSDocs editor.

E-Signature

Dropbox Sign

Dropbox Sign integration closes the loop between document generation and signature collection. Generate a contract or NDA in GJSDocs, add [[sig:role]] placeholders where signatures go, and send for legally binding e-signature without switching platforms. Track signing status and download the certified PDF when all parties have signed.

Security + Reliability Notes

  • - API key encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest, never returned to the browser
  • - Webhook events verified with HMAC-SHA256 before processing
  • - Sandbox mode available for full end-to-end testing without consuming credits

Delivery notes

  • - Dropbox Sign appends a Certificate of Completion to every signed PDF — includes signer names, emails, IP addresses, and timestamps.
  • - Test the full flow in sandbox before switching to your live API key.
  • - Each [[sig:role]] token maps to one signer — use the same role name consistently across the document.
