HelloSign launches API for eSignatures

blog.hellosign.com

I can say without exaggeration that we use HelloSign at ZeroCater 5-10 times a week. It saves us a ton of time.

May I thank whoever is behind HelloSign and HelloFax for making a really, really annoying problem go away. Signing and especially faxing are relics of an old age and thanks to these wonderful people I don't need to find a fax/scanner, especially when travelling.

Thanks for being a HelloSign/Fax user! Any feedback, good or bad is very helpful.

Joseph here, co-founder of HelloSign.

Happy to answer any questions about the API.

Do you have a NodeJS SDK?

Tom, not currently but it's on our roadmap. If you shoot me an e-mail at ed [at] hellosign [dot] com, happy to notify you as soon as it's ready.

Dev at HS, here. For our launch we prioritized the top SDKs our community requested. Those SDKs were Java, Ruby, PHP and Python. We know there are a lot of requests for a NodeJS SDK and are looking into how it will fit into a future release. We don't have an official date, but additional sdks (and node.js, in particular) are on the top of our minds.

Do you offer any pay-as-you-go or API request based pricing?

At our lower tiers, no, but if you're looking at doing a significant amount of requests happy to talk about bulk pricing - ed [at] hellosign [dot] com

Do you offer any sort of signature vault?

Are you asking if we store the signature requests for you? Yup! Happy to clarify any questions at ed [at] hellosign [dot] com

Use cases pls.

Ed from BD @HelloSign here. Essentially any process that involves signing a legally binding document is a valid use case because our API makes the process that much simpler. The main ones we see are anyone that needs to send a lot of forms, HR (onboarding, PTO, admin forms), Legal and Real Estate. We've also seen teachers use us for permission slips, gyms for waivers, agencies for releases, etc.
