Template Links with Two Roles

Template links allow you to share a reusable document with recipients who can fill in and sign without needing to manually assign each signer every time. With two-role support, you can:

  • Assign two distinct signer roles

  • Enforce a signing order

  • Share a single template link for both parties

  • Automatically route the document from the first signer to the second

Step 1: Create a Template

  1. Go to Template Workflow.

  2. Upload your document (e.g., a school admission form).

Step 2: Enable Signing Order

To use template links with two roles:

  1. Turn Signing Order ON.

  2. This ensures that the document is signed sequentially (Signer 1 → Signer 2).

Step 3: Add Roles and Fields

  1. Add the first role (e.g., Student):

    • Insert required fields such as:

      • Name

      • Signature

  2. Add the second role (e.g., Parent/Guardian):

    • Insert fields such as:

      • Name

      • Signature

  3. Ensure each field is correctly assigned to its respective role.

Step 4: Create and Share Template Link

  1. Click Next and finalize the template.

  2. Enable the Template Link option.

  3. Copy and share the link with your signers.

Step 5: Signing Experience

First Signer (e.g., Student)

  • Opens the template link.

  • Sees that they are the first signer.

  • Enters required details (name, email, etc.).

  • Verifies identity (e.g., via OTP/code if enabled).

  • Completes signing.

Second Signer (e.g., Parent/Guardian)

  • Automatically receives the document after the first signer completes their step.

  • Opens the document.

  • Fills in their details.

  • Signs the document.

How It Works

  • The system enforces the signing order.

  • The second signer cannot access the document until the first signer completes their part.

  • Both signers use the same template link, but the experience adapts based on their role.

Best Practices

  • Always enable Signing Order when using multiple roles.

  • Clearly label roles (e.g., “Student” and “Parent”) to avoid confusion.

  • Double-check field assignments before sharing the template.

  • Test the template link once before sending it to real users.
