Seamless Workflow Integration

Reclaim Your Workflow Efficiency

Your team lives in Google Workspace. Your contracts, proposals, and agreements start as Google Docs and are stored in Google Drive. So why does getting a signature force you into a clumsy, multi-step process?

You download a PDF, upload it to a separate e-signature tool, send it, and then manually re-upload the signed copy.

The eSignly Advantage

eSignly eliminates this friction. Our native integration brings the power of secure, legally binding eSignatures directly into your Google Drive and Docs, turning your familiar storage solution into an efficient, end-to-end contract management system. It's the final piece of your workflow puzzle.

The "Document Shuffle" Is Killing Your Productivity

The Manual Bottleneck

You live in Google Workspace. Your contracts, proposals, and NDAs are stored in Drive. Yet, every time a document needs a signature, you are forced into a fragmented workflow: download the file, log into a separate eSignature platform, upload the document, send it, wait, and then manually re-upload the signed version. This "Document Shuffle" creates unnecessary silos, increases the risk of versioning errors, and drains hours of valuable team time every single week.

The eSignly Unified Workflow

eSignly eliminates the friction by bringing legally binding eSignatures directly into your Google environment. With our native Google Workspace integration, you never leave the tab. Right-click any file in Drive to initiate a request, add signature fields directly in Google Docs, and watch as the signed, tamper-proof PDF automatically saves back to your original folder. No downloads. No re-uploads. Just a streamlined, secure, and audit-ready process that works exactly how you work.

Sign Documents Without Leaving Google Drive

Transform your document workflow in three simple steps. No downloads, no manual uploads, and no lost files.

Step 01

Select Your Document

Navigate to your file directly inside Google Drive or open it in Google Docs. Our add-on is integrated directly into your workspace for seamless access.

Step 02

Configure & Send

Launch the eSignly sidebar, drag-and-drop your required signature, date, and text fields onto the document, and hit send. It takes less than 60 seconds.

Step 03

Automatic Storage

Once signed, the tamper-proof, legally binding PDF is automatically generated and saved directly into a 'Signed' sub-folder within your original Drive location.

Proven Outcomes

Real Estate

Real Estate Agency Cuts Client Onboarding Time by 85% with eSignly for Google Drive

A mid-sized real estate firm with 30 agents was struggling with a slow and paper-intensive client onboarding process. All their listing agreements and disclosures were created in Google Docs, but they had to print them for signing or use a clunky, disconnected e-signature tool. This led to delays, lost paperwork, and a frustrating experience for both agents and clients.

Key Challenges

  • Average document turnaround time of 48-72 hours.
  • Agents spending 5+ hours per week on administrative paperwork.
  • High risk of errors and lost documents in the print-sign-scan cycle.
  • Inconsistent filing of signed agreements in Google Drive.

The Solution

eSignly was implemented as the firm's official Google Workspace eSignature solution. First, they installed the Google Workspace Add-on for all agents. Second, they converted their standard Google Docs listing agreements into reusable eSignly templates. Third, they established a clear workflow: agents initiate the signature process directly from the client's folder in Google Drive. Finally, the automated filing feature ensured all signed documents were stored correctly without any manual intervention.

Measurable Outcomes

  • Client onboarding document cycle time reduced from 72 hours to an average of 4 hours.
  • Administrative work per agent reduced by 85%, freeing up time for sales activities.
  • Achieved 100% compliance with document storage protocols, eliminating lost paperwork.
"eSignly's Google Drive integration was a game-changer. We can now send a listing agreement for signature the moment we hang up the phone with a client. The signed documents are back in our Drive, organized, in hours—not days. Our agents save time, and our clients love how easy it is."

SaaS Startup Accelerates Sales Cycle by 40% using eSignly and Google Docs

A fast-growing B2B SaaS startup used Google Docs for all their sales proposals and Master Service Agreements (MSAs). Their lean sales team needed to move quickly, but the final step—getting the contract signed—was slowing them down. They were manually converting Docs to PDFs, emailing them, and then tracking signatures in a spreadsheet, which was inefficient and prone to error.

Key Challenges

  • Sales contracts taking an average of 5 business days to get signed.
  • Lack of visibility into whether a client had viewed the contract.
  • Reps wasting time manually following up on outstanding contracts.
  • Difficulty tracking different versions of agreements.

The Solution

The startup deployed eSignly across its sales team. They created templates in eSignly from their standard Google Docs MSA and proposal formats. Now, when a deal reaches the closing stage, the sales rep simply uses the eSignly for Google Docs add-on to place the fields and send the document for signature. The real-time tracking feature allowed them to see exactly when a prospect opened the document, enabling timely and relevant follow-up.

Measurable Outcomes

  • Average sales contract cycle time reduced from 5 days to 3 days, a 40% improvement.
  • Increased sales team productivity by 15% by eliminating manual administrative tasks.
  • Improved deal-close rate by 5% in the first quarter after implementation.
"As a startup, speed is everything. We couldn't afford to have deals stall at the finish line. Integrating eSignly with our Google Docs workflow meant our sales team could go from a verbal 'yes' to a signed contract on the same day. It directly impacted our revenue velocity."

Consulting Firm Secures Client Data and Ensures Compliance with eSignly for Google Drive

A boutique management consulting firm handles highly sensitive client data in their Statements of Work (SOWs) and NDAs, which are all managed within Google Drive. They needed an e-signature solution that not only integrated with their workflow but also met stringent security and compliance requirements to satisfy their enterprise clients.

Key Challenges

  • Lack of a legally defensible audit trail for signed agreements.
  • Risk of sensitive client data being transmitted insecurely.
  • Manual and insecure process for verifying signer identity.
  • Inability to meet the security requirements of enterprise clients.

The Solution

The firm chose eSignly specifically for its security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and its Google Drive integration. They established a policy that all client-facing agreements must be sent via eSignly from their shared Google Drive. The comprehensive audit trail generated for each document became a standard part of their project initiation records, providing irrefutable proof of signature and satisfying client due diligence.

Measurable Outcomes

  • Eliminated 100% of compliance risks associated with their previous email-based signing process.
  • Passed security reviews with 100% of their enterprise clients.
  • Reduced time to create and send engagement letters by 70% using templates.
"Our clients trust us with their sensitive information, and our tools have to reflect that. eSignly's SOC 2 compliance and detailed audit trails gave us the confidence to manage our entire engagement letter process within Google Drive, which our clients' security teams appreciated."
