Proven Outcomes (Case Studies)
SaaS Startup Cuts User Onboarding Time by 70% with Embedded Signing
Overview: A fast-growing FinTech startup providing wealth management tools needed to streamline their client onboarding process. New clients were required to sign a detailed advisory agreement, but the existing process involved emailing PDFs, which was slow, manual, and created a poor first impression for their tech-savvy user base.
"eSignly's API was a game-changer. We integrated embedded signing into our platform in less than a week. Our conversion rates on the final step of onboarding went up, and our support team stopped getting tickets about 'where to sign'. The documentation was clear, and the support was phenomenal."
Problem
The startup's growth was being throttled by a manual onboarding process. Developers were spending time managing one-off customer issues with PDF signing instead of improving the core product. The disjointed experience (leaving the app to check email and use a separate tool) was causing significant user drop-off at the final stage of conversion.
Challenges
- High user drop-off during the final onboarding step.
- Manual process was not scalable as user sign-ups increased.
- Lack of a professional, seamless brand experience.
- Compliance required a secure, auditable signature process.
Outcomes
- Onboarding completion time reduced from an average of 2 days to 15 minutes.
- User drop-off at the signature stage decreased by 40%.
- Developer time spent on manual onboarding issues was reduced by 95%.
National Real Estate Brokerage Accelerates Deal Closures with CRM Integration
Overview: A national real estate firm with over 500 agents was struggling with paperwork delays. Listing agreements, offers, and closing documents were managed through a mix of email, print-and-scan, and a clunky, standalone e-signature tool that didn't connect to their Salesforce CRM. This created data silos and made it difficult for managers to track deal progress.
"Integrating eSignly with our Salesforce instance has been revolutionary for our agents. They can now generate and send a listing agreement for signature in two clicks, without ever leaving the contact record. We're closing deals faster, and our compliance team has perfect visibility."
Problem
The time gap between a verbal agreement and a signed contract was a major risk point, allowing clients to back out or deals to fall through. Agents were spending hours on administrative tasks, re-keying data between their CRM and contracts. The lack of a centralized system made it nearly impossible to ensure all required documents were properly executed and stored for compliance.
Challenges
- Lengthy contract cycle times delayed revenue.
- Manual data entry led to errors in critical documents.
- Poor visibility into the status of outstanding agreements.
- Compliance risk due to inconsistent document management.
Outcomes
- Average document turnaround time reduced from 48 hours to 4 hours.
- Agent administrative time spent on paperwork was cut by an estimated 5 hours per week per agent.
- Data accuracy in contracts improved to 99.9% by eliminating manual entry.
Healthcare System Achieves HIPAA Compliance with Secure API Integration
Overview: A multi-state hospital system needed to digitize their patient intake and consent forms. Their legacy process involved paper forms, which were inefficient, prone to errors, and created significant challenges for secure storage and retrieval. They required a solution that could integrate with their custom Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system and strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations.
"eSignly was the only partner who could provide a HIPAA-compliant API, a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), and the developer support we needed to integrate with our EMR. We've eliminated our paper-based intake, and our compliance audits are now straightforward."
Problem
The reliance on paper forms created massive operational drag. Patient data had to be manually scanned and entered into the EMR, leading to delays and data entry errors. Storing and managing physical documents was costly and created a significant compliance risk. They needed a digital solution that was both user-friendly for patients and ironclad from a security and compliance perspective.
Challenges
- Ensuring strict HIPAA compliance for patient data (ePHI).
- Integrating with a proprietary, legacy EMR system.
- Creating an accessible and easy-to-use process for patients of all ages.
- Eliminating physical document storage and retrieval costs.
Outcomes
- Achieved 100% digital patient intake, eliminating paper forms.
- Reduced patient check-in time by an average of 8 minutes.
- Annual savings of over $200,000 in paper, printing, and storage costs.

Download SDKsFrequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about integrating eSignly into your applications. Have more questions? Our support team is ready to help.
Is the eSignly API a REST API?
Yes, our API is built on REST principles. It uses predictable, resource-oriented URLs, accepts and returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.
What kind of authentication do you use?
Our API uses API keys for authentication. You can generate and manage your keys from your eSignly account dashboard. All API requests must be made over HTTPS.
Can I test the API for free?
Absolutely. We offer a free plan that includes a limited number of API documents per month. You can sign up, get your API keys, and start testing in our full-featured sandbox and production environments immediately.
Do you provide SDKs for my programming language?
We currently offer official SDKs for popular languages including PHP, Node.js, and Python. As our API is RESTful, you can also easily generate a client for any other language or use a standard HTTP library.
Is your API compliant with HIPAA?
Yes. eSignly is HIPAA compliant. We will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with covered entities. All data processed through our API is encrypted in transit and at rest, and all actions are recorded in an immutable audit trail.
How does your pricing work for the API?
Our API pricing is based on the volume of documents you send for signature per month. We offer several tiers, and the cost-per-document decreases as your volume increases. There are no per-user fees for API access. You can find detailed pricing on our API plan page.
What is the difference between embedded signing and a standard signature request?
A standard request sends an email to the signer with a link to sign on the eSignly website. Embedded signing allows you to place the entire signing experience inside your own website or application using an iFrame, providing a completely seamless, white-labeled experience.
How do webhooks work with your API?
You can configure a webhook URL in your account settings. eSignly will then send a POST request with a JSON payload to your URL in real-time whenever a specified event occurs (e.g., document signed, viewed, declined). This allows you to trigger automated actions in your own systems.
Can I customize the signing interface to match my brand?
Yes. eSignly supports full white-labeling. You can control the colors, logos, and layout of the signing interface via our API, ensuring the experience feels like a native part of your application rather than a third-party tool.
Do you offer an SLA for API uptime?
We prioritize mission-critical reliability. Our enterprise API plans include an uptime SLA of up to 100%, ensuring that your document workflows are always available when your customers need them.
