Dropbox Sign gives you the ability to easily turn contracts, NDAs, proposals, and more into ready-to-use templates—so you don’t have to start from scratch every time. And because Dropbox Sign is integrated with the HubSpot CRM, you can upload files, choose who needs to sign, add fields, and send contracts all from within HubSpot.
Plus, the ability to autofill data from your HubSpot CRM into your templates means less data entry work, fewer errors, and more time closing deals.
Automate the entire contract process in one place
While siloed applications may work fine most of the time, they can still cause a slowdown in productivity and lead to unnecessary mistakes.
The Dropbox Sign for HubSpot eSignature integration lets you automate multi-signer signature requests from your CRM. Once the first signer has signed, Dropbox Sign will automatically send a request to the next person, saving your team the hassle of managing the signing process.
What’s more, Dropbox Sign also automatically sends reminders out for unsigned documents, which saves you from having to chase down or manually draft email reminders to unresponsive signees.
Easy HubSpot document signing, tracking, and organization
Tracking signature requests from multiple people is a task no busy professional should stress over. Fortunately, the HubSpot eSignature integration makes tracking signature statuses easy, straightforward, and efficient.
As soon as a request is sent out, the signature status will appear in the Dropbox Sign CRM card in HubSpot. Here, you can keep an eye on who's received, opened, and signed a signature request, as well as who's overdue.
And if you need to reference any HubSpot contracts or documents that have been signed, they’ll be saved to the HubSpot record that the document was created from. This way, all records stay organized and accessible for each member of your team.
