Moxo’s native e-sign action can be used to get digital signatures completed inside a Moxo workspace.
Create an E-Sign Action
Users can create a new E-Sign action in a workspace or use an action template from the Templates section for commonly used e-sign documents.
To add a new E-Sign action in a Flow workspace:
- Click the ‘...’ icon in the Flow section of the workspace.

- Upload the file that needs to be signed from your computer, the Content Library, or an existing workspace. You can always replace the file once you create the action.
- Enable the Require Preparation option under Additional Options, if required, to indicate whether the action requires preparation before proceeding.
Only one preparer can be assigned per action, and it must be an internal user. This feature is available for all action types, except Time Booking and third-party integration actions.
8. Update the title, add a description, or set a due date for the action. Click Next.
-
- Set a due date for the e-sign. Users can exclude weekends when setting due dates. When enabled, weekends will be skipped when setting due dates, ensuring that deadlines fall only on weekdays.

an existing role. Click Next.
You can assign actions to roles only while creating an instant flow workspace.

you can select the signer that you are adding the fields for once all fields have been added.
11. Customize the font size when placing text fields in an e-sign. Adjust the text size
after placing the text field.
12. Customize the date format for e-sign to support various regional preferences.
13. You can now drag and drop the stamp field to the desired location in the document and upload or attach a file from your computer, as needed.
- The stamp feature can be used whenever a seal of approval is required in any agreement or document, based on business requirements.
E-Sign Text Box fields can be auto-filled with data from a Moxo form by using the Form Data in an E-Sign feature.

Autofill PDF Feature
If you upload a PDF document when creating an E-Sign action, Moxo can automatically detect the fields and assign them to someone for you. This will save you time from manually dragging & assigning fields on a large PDF document.
All fields must be initially assigned to a single user. You will then have the option to review and edit or re-assign any fields before sending. Users can set up custom system folders and automatically send files from completed e-signatures to a specific system folder of choice.
To use the autofill feature:
- Upload a PDF document when creating an E-Sign.
- Select a person to automatically assign the detected fields to and click Confirm.
Dynamic Data Reference
Once fillable fields have been auto-generated, you have the option to use Dynamic Data Reference. This means you can transfer responses filled out in a Form to the auto-generated fields in the PDF.
To use Form data in auto-generated fields:
- Click on an auto-generated field within the document.
- Then click Autofill on the top right of side of the panel on the right.
- Next, select the corresponding question from a previous Form in the workspace. Adjust sizing of the response if required.
- Click Save Changes.
Assignee Experience
Users assigned an E-Sign will be able to electronically sign the document from any device.
When a user is assigned an E-Sign, they will find it in the Flow section of the workspace. Additionally, users will receive notifications whenever an action is assigned to them.
To complete the E-Sign action:
- Click on the E-Sign and view the details.
- Click Review & Sign to see a preview of the file.
- Click Sign to start signing.
- Enter your full name, initials, and signature. You can draw your signature or select from one of the digital signature options. Click Accept.
- Fill out each field that was assigned to you, clicking Next to move from one field to the next.
- Click Finish to complete.
Replacing an E-Sign File
Once you have created an e-sign action, you can always edit the action and replace the file. Any Internal User in the workspace will be able to edit the E-sign.
To delete and replace the file in an e-sign:
- Click on the E-sign in the workspace, and view the details.
- Click on the ‘...’ ellipsis icon on the top right to see more options.
- Click Edit, and the e-sign will open in a popout.
- Next to the file, you will see a ‘Trash’ icon and a ‘Replace’ icon. Click the ‘Replace’ icon to replace the file, or the ‘Trash’ icon to delete the existing file.
- Replacing the file will keep all added fields in the same position as placed in the previous file.
- Deleting the file will also delete all added fields.
- Select a new file to upload from your Desktop, Content Library files, or a file within a workspace in Moxo. Then click Next.
- Verify the users that need to sign. Add users to the signing list by searching for their name, email or phone number, and select the user from the drop down. Click the ‘x’ icon to the right of the user’s name to delete them from the signing list.
- Click Next.
- Leave the existing fields, add new fields, or delete fields. Then click Save Changes.
When replacing the e-sign document, all added fields in the previous file will be place in the same position in the new file. This replaces the document without needing to delete and add a new action.

You can view the Sign Activities on any signature document to see the history of any signing activity.
