| Signing Order | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| SEQUENTIAL | Signers must sign one after another in a specific order. | For approvals where one person's signature depends on another (e.g., manager then director). |
| PARALLEL | Signers can sign at the same time, the order does not matter. | When multiple people need to sign, but their signatures are independent (e.g., multiple team members). |
Adding authentication, like an email or SMS code, is important for high-value agreements. It helps confirm the signer's identity, making the agreement more secure and legally stronger. This extra step protects against unauthorized signatures.
You can use the Acrobat Sign API to automate sending and tracking agreements. To start, you would use a 'POST' request to the '/api/rest/v6/agreements' endpoint. You need to provide details about the agreement and the files. The API will return an 'agreementId' which you can then use for all future actions related to that specific agreement, like checking its status or getting audit trails.
