E-SIGNATURES MODULE — INCLUDED WITH EVERY PLAN
Send, Sign & Track Documents
Without Leaving Your CRM
Upload a document, place signature fields visually, send to up to 20 recipients, and get a completed, flattened PDF — all self-hosted, all connected to your contacts, deals, and automations.
WHY MCE E-SIGNATURES
Stop Paying Per Signature
DocuSign charges $15–40/user/month. PandaDoc charges $19–49. MCE E-Signatures is included with your CRM — unlimited users, unlimited envelopes.
Visual Field Editor
Drag-and-drop signature, initials, text, date, checkbox, name, email, company, and title fields onto any page of your PDF.
Sequential & Parallel
Send to up to 20 recipients. All sign at once (parallel) or one-at-a-time in order (sequential). Custom role labels for each signer.
CRM-Connected
Link envelopes to contacts, deals, quotes, invoices, and memberships. Completed PDFs auto-attach to contact records.
Automation Triggers
When a document is signed, fire Journey automations — send a welcome email, update a deal stage, assign a task. No Zapier needed.
Certificate & Audit Trail
Tamper-evident audit log with 14 event types. Certificate of completion with SHA-256 hash. IP and user agent captured on every signature.
Self-Hosted
Your signed documents stay on your server. Not DocuSign’s cloud, not Dropbox’s cloud. Your data, your infrastructure.
HOW IT WORKS
Upload, Place Fields, Send, Done
Upload a PDF, DOCX, or image. Place fields visually. Send a branded signing link. Recipients sign from any device — no login required. Get a completed, flattened PDF back.
Upload Any Document
PDF, DOCX, PNG, or JPG up to 25 MB. Word docs auto-convert to PDF. Images wrapped into PDFs. All processing in pure PHP — no external services.
9 Field Types
Signature, initials, text, date, checkbox, name, email, company, and title. Required or optional. Custom placeholder text and font size per field.
Flattened PDF Output
All signatures and field values permanently burned into the PDF. Original document preserved. Completed PDF auto-attached to CRM contact records.
Progress Notifications
When any signer signs, all other recipients and the sender get a progress email: “2 of 3 signers have signed.” No competitor does this.
Reusable Templates
Save any envelope as a template. Clone into new drafts with fresh tokens. Send the same NDA, contract, or agreement without rebuilding it every time.
Bulk Actions
Bulk send, void, or delete up to 50 envelopes at once. Per-envelope validation with detailed success and error reporting.
CRM INTEGRATION
Not Just Signing — Connected Signing
Every other e-signature tool is a standalone product. MCE E-Signatures is part of your CRM — linked to contacts, deals, quotes, invoices, memberships, and automations.
Linked to Everything
Link envelopes to contacts, deals, quotes, invoices, or memberships. Signed PDFs appear on the contact’s document record and activity timeline.
Journey Automations
“When NDA signed → move deal to next stage → send welcome email → assign onboarding task.” All configured in the Journey builder.
Lead Scoring Signals
Completed signatures feed into Lead Scoring as engagement signals. A signed contract means a hotter lead — your scores reflect that automatically.
HOW WE COMPARE
MCE E-Signatures vs. The Competition
