Which AI assistants can send documents for signature?

Any assistant that connects to an MCP server over HTTP: Claude, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and your own agent. The Agent inside DocsAutomator uses the same tools.

What can the assistant do without asking me?

It can read: list your automations, read an automation's placeholders, check recent runs and see who has signed. DocsAutomator marks every tool that sends or changes something, so Claude and ChatGPT ask you before it runs, unless you choose to always allow it. In the Agent in the app, every send waits for your approval.

Does the first document really go out?

Yes, in test mode. A new setup's first send runs in test mode: the real email reaches the real person, the document carries a watermark, and test requests are never billed. Live documents need the automation to be live, and going live is your decision.

How do I get the signed PDF back?

Ask the assistant whether it is signed. The status card then shows Open signed PDF. The automation can also send the signed PDF to your webhook, a Google Drive or Dropbox folder and the completion email, and on an Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets, SmartSuite or ClickUp automation it can save it to the record.

What if I forget the signer's email?

Nothing is sent. A signer set to be named with each request needs an email in every request, so DocsAutomator refuses the send before it creates the document, and the assistant asks you who it goes to.

Can the assistant remind someone who has not signed?

Yes. Ask it, or press Send reminder on the status card where your app shows it. DocsAutomator then reminds that one person by email.

Can the assistant send a quote for acceptance instead of a signature?

Yes. On an acceptance automation the client opens the quote from the email and clicks Accept. The document card then reads Sent for acceptance, and the status card shows Accepted and Open accepted PDF.

Can it send from my Airtable or Notion records?

Yes. Ask for the document of a record, and the assistant passes the record. The signer comes from the record's email field, or from the person you name in the chat for that one document.

Does e-signing from an AI agent cost extra?

No. E-signing and acceptance are available on every plan, with no extra subscription. See pricing for the details. Plans start at $19 a month billed yearly ($29 billed monthly) with 100 documents a month. Every plan includes unlimited team members.

Do my signers need an account?

No. Signers open the link in the email and sign in the browser, on a phone or a computer. They do not need a DocsAutomator account.

Are e-signatures sent by an AI agent legally recognised?

DocsAutomator e-signatures are simple electronic signatures, recognised for documents that need no special form, such as most quotes, orders and service contracts. Every signed PDF is sealed and carries a certificate and an audit trail that record who signed, when, from which email address and device. Some documents need a notary, a witness or a qualified signature, and e-signatures do not cover them. This is not legal advice.

How to send a document for signature from an AI agent

Connect once. Then every contract is one sentence and one approval.

1
Connect the DocsAutomator MCP server
In Claude, add a custom connector with https://mcp.docsautomator.co/mcp and sign in. ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code connect to the same address.
2
Pick or create the automation
Name an automation you already have, or let the assistant build one: a Word template from your prompt, with signing turned on.
3
Name the signer in the chat
Say who signs, with their email. The assistant passes the person in the request, so no contact list or second automation is needed.
4
Approve the send
Your AI app asks before a tool that sends something runs. A new setup's first send runs in test mode: the real email, watermarked and free.
5
See what went out
The document card shows the first page, Open PDF and a line such as Sent for signing to Maria Lopez (test mode).
6
Ask whether it is signed
The status card shows who has signed, a Send reminder button while it is open, and Open signed PDF once everyone has signed.

Some of the teams / institutions automating and signing their documents with DocsAutomator:

Case Study

Example: a consulting agreement sent from a chat

The message, what the assistant sends, and the signed agreement. All names and amounts are fictional.

1. Your message

Send our consulting agreement to Maria Lopez at Lopez Design for signature, maria@lopezdesign.example. Start date November 1, fee $4,800 a month, three months.

I'll send it in test mode first, since this is the first agreement from this setup.

One message names the document, the values and the signer.

2. What the assistant sends

create_document

{ "automationId": "6a20…91fe", "mode": "test", "data": { "client_company": "Lopez Design", "start_date": "2026-11-01", "monthly_fee": 4800, "term_months": 3 }, "recipients": [ { "signer": 1, "name": "Maria Lopez", "email": "maria@lopezdesign.example" } ] }

The assistant reads the automation's placeholders first, then sends raw values and the signer.

What to check before your agent sends documents for signature

Seven questions to ask before you pick a tool.

Works in the assistant you use. One server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and your own agent.
You approve every send. Tools that send or change something are marked, so your app can ask first.
Test before live. A first send that reaches the real person without counting or billing.
Status inside the chat. Who has signed, a reminder button and the signed PDF, without opening another app.
Templates your team can edit. Google Docs, Word or PDF, so the people who own the wording keep editing it.
Signing and acceptance. A contract needs a signature. A quote often needs only a yes.
Proof on every PDF. A certificate and an audit trail that record who signed, when and from where.

Questions about e-signatures from AI agents

Customer Voices

Don't take our word for it. Here's what our customers say about us:

If you use automated document creation, this is an amazing app. We've used several others, and this blows the others away in: ease of creation of the automations, speed of execution, and responsiveness of the staff. Couldn't be happier.

Aaron Waldrip

I was looking for a convenient solution to generate Google docs based on Airtable data, which supported features like Line Items and Dynamic Folder Creation. I was thrilled to find DocsAutomator, the experience and support has been excellent.

Doug H.

We love the ease of being able to use a template from google docs. Other softwares' we reviewed were much more complicated. [...] We also love how easily it connects to Airtable.

Haiyan Khan

This is exactly what our company was looking for. It works fantastic, thank you!

Jordy Urbanski

I've just been looking for this app for weeks. DocsAutomator simply outperforms any competitor out there. I've tried almost every possible way to generate PDF from Airtable, and none offer half of the capacities DocsAutomator does.

Foulques de Moncade

We have been using Airtable for a few years now and it has become our one source of truth. DocsAutomator has made this work for us by providing us with the ability to create documents in seconds instead of minutes or even hours. Game changer.
