Introduction 👋

Redlining done, I’s dotted, T’s crossed — all that's missing are the signatures?
Congrats! You’re almost there. We’ll show you how to easily send your contract for signature with fynk.


Upload a document

You can upload documents to fynk either as a PDF or a Word file.

Upload a PDF document

  1. Drag and drop the PDF file onto any page in fynk

  2. Then click [Sign document]


​Alternatively, you can go to the Documents section and click on [Upload PDF].

Upload a Word document

  1. Drag and drop the Word file onto any page in fynk

  2. Click [Create document]

During the upload, you also have the following options:

  • Import comments and tracked changes from the Word file

  • Adjust formatting before the actual upload

After the upload, the next steps are the same for both PDF and Word documents.


Add a party

After the upload, a notification will appear indicating that a party must be added to the document.

  1. Click the corresponding button

  2. Enter the information for the party and the signer

Add an internal party

If the party is internal, you can select it via the address book icon.

You have the following options:

  • Add yourself as the signer

  • Select another person from your fynk account

  • Enter the information manually (name and email address)

Add an external party

For an external party, simply enter the following information:

  • Name of the party

  • Address (optional)

  • Name and email address of the signer

Then click [Save].


Place signature blocks in the document 📝

After adding the party and signer, you can place the signature block in the document.

  1. Click “Place signature blocks”

  2. Drag and drop the block to the desired position in the document

  3. Adjust the size of the block if necessary so it fits the document layout


Start the signing process ✍️

Once everything is set up, you can start the signing process.

  1. Click “Start signing”

  2. Select the signature type

  3. Optionally define a signing order if there are multiple signers

  4. Optionally add a message to the signers

Click “Start signing” again to automatically notify the signers via email.

💡Note: The signer’s information like name or email address can still be updated after the signing process has started.

To do so, click on the signer, edit the information, and select “Update signatory.” A new invitation to the document will automatically be sent.


Add a signature

Signers can add their signature in several ways:

  • draw a signature

  • type a signature

  • upload an image of an existing signature

If a signature has already been saved, it can be selected under “My signatures”.


Manage saved signatures

As a fynk user, you can manage your saved signatures and set a default signature.

Simply click the star icon to mark a signature as the default.


✅ After the signature: All parties involved automatically receive the signed document by e-mail.
