How to send signature requests with your AI

Connect Yousign to your AI client to manage legal workflows without switching tabs. You just tell your agent what needs signing, and it handles the rest.

Short answer

How can I send signature requests using my AI?

You tell your AI client to start a new request, specify the document and the signers, and then tell it to activate the workflow. It manages the entire Yousign process from your chat window. Here is how the logic works.

The workflow outcomes

Where your request lands

Once you give the command, your AI moves through these stages to get the document signed.

READY

Drafted request

The AI builds the initial request structure. You get a prepared workflow waiting for files and names.

PENDING

Document attached

The AI links your specific files to the request. The paperwork is now tied to the legal action.

ACTIVE

Live signature link

The request goes live. Signers receive their notifications and can sign immediately.

HUMAN

Manual review

You remain in control. The AI won't send anything until you confirm the details are correct.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as your legal operations assistant, executing specific commands to move documents through Yousign.

  1. Initialize the request

    Your agent starts the process by setting up the signature request container.

    create_signature_request

  2. Attach the paperwork

    The AI adds the necessary files to the request so signers have something to read.

    add_document_to_request

  3. Assign the signers

    The agent adds the specific people who need to sign the document to the workflow.

    add_signer_to_request

  4. Launch the workflow

    The AI triggers the final step to send the request out to the signers.

    activate_signature_request

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI sign documents for me?

    No. The AI only manages the request and the signers. You or your clients must perform the actual signature.

  • 02

    Will the AI send the request without my permission?

    No. The AI only activates the request when you explicitly tell it to do so.

  • 03

    Can I edit the document content through the AI?

    No. The AI can only add existing documents to a request. It cannot rewrite the text inside your PDFs.

  • 04

    Does the AI store my legal files?

    No. The AI interacts with Yousign to attach files, but it doesn't host or store your documents.

  • 05

    Can I add multiple signers at once?

    Yes. You can instruct your agent to add multiple signers to a request one by one.
