Hello.
Can you provide in terms of cost/benefits the impact of this feature in your business ?
Have a nice day!
xd...@gmail.com
Sure!
For one example, my higher ed institution currently generates Google Doc contracts for a couple hundred people at a time via Apps Script. We create a new copy of a Doc for each person, mail merge with some find-and-replace, and share the Document with the sign-er programmatically. The document currently has a text box that says "sign here" at the bottom where they type in a name and date. It would be lovely if I could use the Google Docs Approvals[1] system or this eSignature system via API to request this signature from them instead of manually checking to see who's typed their name and who hasn't.

Hello,
I'm the Director of Cloud Office (Premier CEE Google Partner). We are currently bringing several million USD pipeline annual net revenue to Google and this feature is really important for our backoffice and our customers.
We want to build a contract management solution on top of Google Docs and allow the entire contract management for our thousands of customers to rely on Google Docs. This will be a showcase of Google commitment to be Enterprise product company.
Feel free to reach to me at our company's email if you have questions - info atcloudoffice.bg

Please add api capabilities for requesting esginature, this is the only missing link and will remove the need of using additional services ( like docusign).
My current workflow for platform use is using google docs and drive api:
1) creating a copy of the contract template per contract with drive api
2) retrieving doc with docs api
3) batchUpdate with docs api to replace values
4) drive permissions create
5) dropbox sign api for emailing contract for esignature.
Allow programtic request esignature and we willl be able to do it all with google, worth it!

eSignature for Google Docs is rolling out to end users soon
In the coming weeks, we will roll out eSignature for Google Docs to end users on select Google Workspace editions. eSignature offers a variety of features to help you streamline requesting and capturing signatures, helping you stay organized and keep your work moving along. Specifically, you can:
- Request eSignatures, including signatures from more than one user and from non-Gmail users.
- View the status of pending signatures and find completed contracts.
- Keep contract templates to initiate multiple eSignature requests.
- View an audit trail of completed contracts,
- Use custom text fields to request additional information from signers, such as job titles, email addresses and more.
- Sign contracts from both mobile devices and PCs.
Sure would be nice to get an API right about now...

I work with multiple clients who need signatures on design presentations created through Slides + Apps Script. Would love to add a "Create PDF and Sign" menu item for them.
wa...@verona.k12.wi.us
As others have already commented, I thought I'd add my vote for the ability to have multiple esignatures generated in batch. I'm actually surprised that there wasn't any thought of this being added directly in the eSignature interface itself. However, if we can at least have API method I can script it for our different departments (HR, business service, nurses, food service, etc) consolidate on using Google Docs and Google eSignature.
I'm also surprised at the original reply of "Can you provide in terms of cost/benefits the impact of this feature in your business ?" Most departments work with large number of staff and entities. To have to generate individually e-sign documents one at a time for each personnel or entity makes using Google eSignature unusable. if we want adoption of Google eSignature it should handle all workflows - from single e-sign situations to mass staff/entity e-sign ones.

Adding the following workflow:
We have large amounts of documents that need to have an official "Sign Off" that they have been read and agreed to by staff. This is especially true in terms of policy documents that need annual signatures. Currently this is a large workflow to generate new documents twice a year and send esign requests for each document and then file them. An api that lets us make a ui extnesion to "Add" a pre set page to the document would be perfect. Even better wold be something like "Return the signed document to the same folder that the source doucment is from". Then we'd be able to process all of these documents in a single script instead of days of management.
Other industry use cases:
1. Annual Policy Agreements - Especially HIPAA organizations that need regular re-agreeement to the procedure manuals
2. Annual Medical/Staff notifiactions - Insurance forms, renewal of tax forms, anything that needs to be done regularly for efficiency
3. Re-Evanulations, Performance Reviews. Items that can be done on a regular schedule if the database triggers set the correct times to send the paperwork.

We use SnapApp (https://SnapApp.com ), a low code tool that unlocks all of Google's Gemini AI products, Google's APIs and Google Cloud technologies to build business process automation applications. Many of the workflow applications created generate documents that require signature. If the Google Docs API, would allow our team and Google's Government customers to use this in place of higher costs digital signature tools like DocuSign or EchoSign.

We have an integration from our CLM platform to Google Drive/Docs. Currently we require additional third party integrations (DocuSign) to support eSignature. Providing a seamless integration with the Workspaces native solution would provide a better UX for our mutual customers. Please consider providing APIs for this feature.
We would be happy to discuss our requirements if and when you are considering this feature.

Same Request here. We are moving to docs to automate the creation of a document heavy process and are switching due to the automated doc generation feature in G Suite. Adding methods for this tool will allow users to stay in the G Suite/Docs ecosystem. I can see the issue is blocked. Maybe you can share a general update as to level of blockage and potential timeline for unblocking? Or if it will be indefinitely blocked/backlogged. Will be helpful to understand whether a temp solution/vendor is a good solution or better and if so on what level. Thank you in advance

This is an absolue must! I just spent the last hour hunting for an answer to the simple question:
Can we automate the sending of an eSignature document on Google Docs through App Scripts or GCP?
Currently I think the answer is NO :(
No API connections exist that I could find.
Google I am on my knees begging for you to add this in. This would be super useful

Hello Google team.
As others have already said, we are interested in:
- Development of API to automate esignature.
- Feature to order signatures (signature request flow), where the signature of a user triggers the request for the next one.
I hope we can see this feature soon.

App script support would be great to fulfil this workflow.
From my G-sheet i use fields to populate a google docs template creating a dynamic document and save as pdf. (pdf now supported which is great to see).
Have ability to call / place signature component onto dynamic doc / PDF. ie use {{signature}} and replace with signature component
Send this document for sign via api.
Return sent timestamp.
Bonus points for allowing api endpoint to check if a document status / if has been signed. (Would set up using an app script trigger) to call this endpoint at set intervals.

I'm actually pretty shocked that you released this without any API communication features. I'm happy it's there, but it's half-baked until it can be integrated into larger automated workflows.
Several of my clients really need the following:
- Ability to assign a person to an existing Signer block and initiate the Request Signature process via API
- Ability to trigger a webhook upon completion of the signing process
We don't [yet] have any use cases that require the ability to add/configure signature fields to documents programmatically, but there should at least be a way to integrate the signing process into another workflow when the signature fields already exist in the doc!
Please provide an update—with more information than the current "blocked" status—ASAP.

Please build an API connection for this. Happy to upgrade the company, we want to send many versions of the same docs we populate automatically to many people.

+1 Docs that were created from templates with e-Signatures and automatically downloladed as PDFs should recognize the e-Signatures that were present in the docs file before being downloaded and represent them in the PDF file (it currently leaves a blank line where the fields are supposed to be "Name: _________").
This would also allow for automated managing of signers (assigning emails to signer fields), and manual / automated sending of the PDF files to be signed through email (automated by company rather than google as an option.)

Description
A short description of the request:
Google Docs now has eSignature support:
Please provide us a way to programmatically create these eSignatures via the Google Docs or Google Drive API. Bonus points for Apps Script support.
What is the purpose of this new feature?
Sometimes, people need to generate many contracts at once. It would be nice if we could form-fill create Google Docs and send the signature requests along to the other party without having to create them all by hand.
What existing APIs would this affect?
The Google Docs or Google Drive API
What existing data does this use?
Just Google Docs body contents and the new eSignature system.
