Add Single signature
Usage: A Google Form for one specific person only
See Multiple Signatures for One Google Form given out to many people
Add signatory details
Here, enter your signatory's email address and full name
There are two options to notify the signatory
Email them for me
We'll send them an email with a link to get to the form. If your user doesn't have a Google account, this is the only option available
I'll contact them myself
We don't send the signatory anything. You'll be given a link which you can send to your signatory in your own personalised way
You can retrieve this link at any time from the See pending function in the add-on
You don't need to keep the link secure - only the recipient will be able to sign
Where possible we recommend this option, it offers slightly higher security and lets you have a personal touch
Preview email
When "Email them for me" is selected, you can open a preview to see exactly what the email will look like
Change approval message
A new checkbox item will be added with an "approval message"
By default this is "I have read and accepted this document. <signatory's name>"
If you'd like to set your own, you can click this button
Enable Response Receipts
Optional - highly recommended
For the signatory's best experience, we recommend you set Collect email addresses and Response receipts to Always
When the signatory submits the form, they get a full copy emailed to them
We aren't able to set this for you unfortunately
Click the Cog icon in your Form to get this menu
Signature added
When you confirm your signatory's details, we:
Add our signature bot as an Editor on the form
The bot waits for the signature to be created, then uses its Editor right to append the signature. Finally, it removes itself from your document
Add signing sections
We add our sections to the end of your from. You can edit these, as long as you keep the link available and retain an empty section at the end
If Email them for me is the selected notification method, we'll email your signatory with a link to complete the form
Our link contains a code that's unique to the recipient
If I'll contact them myself is selected, we won't send the signatory anything
You'll be given a link which you can send to your signatory yourself
