Signature types
Recipients choose between draw and type when they sign. You can require one or allow both.
Signing order for multiple recipients
When a document requires multiple signers:1
Add signers in the document builder
Add each signer and assign them a role (Signer 1, Signer 2, etc.).
2
Set the signing order
Signing order is sequential by default — Signer 1 must complete before Signer 2 receives the document. Assign the order when adding recipients.
3
Assign fields to signers
Each fillable element (signature, initials, text field) is assigned to a specific signer. Each signer only sees and completes their assigned fields.
4
Send the document
The platform sends to Signer 1. After they complete their portion, Signer 2 receives their invitation automatically.
Document expiration
Set a deadline after which the signing link becomes inactive:- Configure in document settings — enable “Set Expiry Date” and choose the date
- After expiration — the signing link shows an expiry message. No one can sign
- Renew — clone the expired document and set a new expiry date
- No expiry — leave the setting disabled for documents that should remain open indefinitely
Redirect after signing
Send signers to a custom URL after they complete their signature:- In the document settings, find Redirect URL After Signing
- Enter the URL (e.g., a thank-you page, a payment page, or your website)
- The signer is automatically redirected after submitting their signature

Legal validity
HoopAI e-signatures follow established electronic signature standards and are legally binding in most jurisdictions:- Compliant with ESIGN Act (US) and eIDAS (EU)
- Timestamped — every signature records the exact date and time
- Audit trail — complete log of who signed, when, and from what IP address
- Tamper-proof — signed documents are locked and cannot be modified after signing
- Archived — signed copies are stored and accessible to all parties
E-signatures are accepted for most business contracts, but some documents (wills, real estate deeds, notarized documents) may require wet ink signatures. Consult legal counsel for your specific use case.
