"Works well enough, but does end up feeling like a less-polished version of Docusign"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SignNow API?

I like the setup for webhooks. Interface for that is pretty clear and easier to use than Docusign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SignNow API?

What takes a 1, 2 calls to accomplish in Docusign oftentimes seems to take a few more calls in SignNow. I've also encountered inaccurate information in the documentation (payloads not matching docs, for instance) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy embedded document signing"
5/5
What do you like best about SignNow API?

The signNow API was super easy to get started with for embedded signing. We implemented it within a month, going from no knowledge of SignNow to live in production for customers. Since setting it up over three years, it's been mostly hands off with very little issues. With the embedded flow, not our sales people as well as the customers can still within our platform to manage and sign documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SignNow API?

They don't really have great support for a staging environment. They do have an evaluation environment but those accounts expire and are not attached to your main account. With the main account there is a way to make use a test key to not use invitations. Then when ready, you can mark it live. However, it doesn't work quite the way we wanted.

"It meets the bar but there are several things needed to make it a great fit for our needs"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SignNow API?

1) The embeddable widgets were easy to incorporate and pretty easy to customize

2) Nearly every endpoint functioned as the docs described

3) The ability to customize themes in the UI and use via the API was nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SignNow API?

1) I wish there was a "filling out" mode for before a user is signing and is filling out the form and we could allow users to save progress. We regularly hear I spent x time filling it out but had to stop, why can't you save my progress so I don't have to start over.

2) Pre-selecting radio buttons and checkboxes wasn't possible during document creation like we are able to pre-fill for other data types. This required a silly workaround of creating the doc, then editing the doc with the desired pre-selection options for the radio buttons. This was additional work and slowed down the creation process.

3) I wish we could provide a custom list of variables for users to use during template creation. In order for docs to work with pre-filling we need them named a specific way and getting users to follow that schema is impossible / terrible UX thus we haven't rolled out this ability to our users despite them asking for it.

4) This is moot for us now as we solved it, but the ability to have signers and assigned fields removed if no signer is passed in would have been a time saver. There are potentially 6-8 signers on a given template but for any given use it could be less thus before we created every permutation. Now we create the max signers template and during doc creation reduce the number of signers and their assigned fields to those needed...would be nice if ya'll handled that.

5) Document creation time could be improved. We've done some optimization on our end but it still takes ~30-60 seconds for larger packets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SignNow API paired with ServiceReef"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SignNow API?

SignNow API is making our waiver signing and storage process a breeze compared to our previous method of filling, downloading, verifying, and then uploading a PDF file! ServiceReef had done all the background work to implement the connection so even a novice could get things working. We have the ability to create templates which get signed by our short term missions participants on an almost daily basis. Thanks for all the support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SignNow API?

There are a few areas we would like to see improved. File naming for export is one example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great API"
5/5
What do you like best about SignNow API?

We love the fact that we can access and create in person signing links via API for our document management system. The API works really well with our middleware system between our EMR and SignNow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SignNow API?

Only downside to the API is the API pricing model of per envelope as opposed to per seat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Integrating SignNow API with our Vertical Market Application"
5/5
What do you like best about SignNow API?

We used the SignNow API to integrate the e-signing of PDF forms for our custom software application for the legal market. It's been working well for the past 3 years and they are constantly making improvements and adding new functionality. Their support is also excellent and helpful whenever we needed them. We evaluated all the top players and are happy with the product and the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SignNow API?

We worked with the initial version of their API, which took a little while to get going, but their later versions are much more robust, streamlined and easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SignNow Has Been a Great Tool For Us"
5/5
What do you like best about SignNow API?

The API was easy to use and we were able to implement it within 30 days. Our SaaS software uses SignNow to resell eSignatures.

What we do that is different is use a master account and charge our users per envelope.

Their support has been great and they answer our questions all quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SignNow API?

I am not sure to be honest. I think what I would recommend is a better counter on their side to show us how many envelopes we are away from a renewal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
