1.0 What does HelloSign integration do in TIEIT

HelloSign is an online service that allows users to create and sign documents with legally binding e-signatures. For more information about HelloSign and its services, please visit the HelloSign website.

By connecting a HelloSign account to TIEIT, users can send Estimates with contractional agreements. Recipients of the Estimate can review and digitally sign the agreement. After the agreement is signed, the recipient can proceed to pay the invoice.

For additional customization, users can create templates in the HelloSign interface. For more information on HelloSign templates, please refer to their knowledge base article: How to create a template.

📌 Please note: A HelloSign account is required for TIEIT integration. 

2.0 Connecting HelloSign to a TIEIT account

To connect a HelloSign account to TIEIT, please follow the steps below:

1. In the TIEIT Settings, and goto the Connections page.
2. Click the green Login with HelloSign button.
3. There will be an Allow Access request, select Accept.
4. The Connections page will show the account is connected with HelloSign. 

3.0  Embedded and Non-Embedded Requests

There are two ways of initiating a signature request: embedded and non-embedded.

3.1 Embedded Signing

With the embedded signing, recipients sign on your estimate instead of being redirected to HelloSign.com. For embedded signing, signers don't require a HelloSign account.

📌 Please note: Embedded Requests are only available for users on the HelloSign's Gold Plan or higher.

3.2 Non-Embedded Signing

With the non-­embedded signing, recipients are redirected to the HelloSign website to sign the document.

📌 Please note: We recommend Embedded Signing for a more seamless experience.

3.3 How to enable Embedded Requests

1. In the TIEIT Settings, go to the Connections page.
2. In the HelloSign section, set the Embedded Request checkmark to On.
