Hi all,

Since launching HelloSign, we’ve been blown away by your feedback and support.

We talked to hundreds of people about what they wanted from a premium product and worked hard to incorporate their feedback into this release.

Today, we’re excited to announce the next stage of HelloSign’s product growth: Business plans and Unified Teams.

With Unified Teams, we’re now the only company to create plans that enable free and premium users to collaborate as a team. Instead of introducing eSignatures to just part of your organization, you can introduce them to everyone and only pay for power users.

We’re also announcing Business plans, which include branding, unlimited signature requests, unlimited templates, and advanced admin features. Learn more about Business Plans and Unified Teams.

Thanks for all the support over the years. The vision is still the same. We’re working on replacing paper in the office.

Feel free to write and keep sending your feature requests. We love hearing from you.

Best,
Joseph

We’re excited to announce that a new update is available for the HelloSign iPhone/iPad app. We’ve updated the interface to be more visually appealing and have also improved instructions should you have any trouble importing or signing a document

There’s also some changes that might not be as readily apparent. We’re now able to support even those trickier PDFs that may have caused you trouble in the past. We’ve also improved the resolution on the scanner to make your documents look great.

If you’re a Google Drive user, you’ll also be pleased to know that the app is now integrated with Google Drive, enabling you to pull any PDF file from your drive account.

We’re still working on making this app better every day, so send us feedback if there’s anything you’d like to see: support@hellosign.com

If you’ve looked into eSignature APIs before you know that current solutions make it much harder than it needs to be. They push things on on you, like….

• An expensive developer account.
• An unnecessary “technology certification.”
• A mandatory two-hour “integration call.”

Then after all that the damn thing doesn’t work as it’s supposed to.

We’ll let you in on a little secret. The people who created these eSignature APIs were MBAs who did it for check a box. They don’t care about a developer community, the proof is in the pudding and the product they deliver.

HelloSign is building the best eSignature API and we’re interested in doing it with you help. Our API is REST-based and lightweight. Our documentation is all online and available. So check it out, dig around a start building something today. What you’ll be working with is Rev. 1 of the API. We’re invested in making it the best eSignature API and will be adding in fax capabilities as well.

We look forward to your feedback and API calls.

Starting today, you’re going to notice some changes to your HelloFax and HelloSign experience. These changes should make it even easier to use our dual services while highlighting  their integration.

The Top Bar

It is now quick and easy to toggle between faxing and signing documents. As we continue to add services that enable you to go paperless, expect the top navigation to enable you to easily find the solution you’re looking for.

Sign and Send from HelloFax 

In order to ease the confusion between services, if you choose to sign and send a document from HelloFax you will be redirected to HelloSign. You many still sign faxes, but for documents only being emailed, we’ll direct you to HelloSign

Your Documents

All your documents from HelloFax and HelloSign are still stored in the document tab on both sites. Moreover, your login for both accounts will be the same.

We think these changes will make for a far more intuitive experience. If you have a second, let us know what you think!

We’re excited to announce today that HelloSign is now integrated with Google Drive, Google’s cloud storage and collaboration service. By integrating HelloSign with Google Drive, no one will have to sign a contract on paper again. Now anyone can sign any document from their Google Drive as well as request an electronic signature.

Here’s how it works:

1. Sign documents directly from Google Drive

Never print, sign and scan documents ever again. With this integration, fill out and sign documents, all in your browser.

2. Request a signature directly from Google Drive

When a contract needs to be signed immediately, use HelloSign. Simply send the document the needs to be signed with HelloSign and the agreement can be finalized in minutes, not days.

3. Create a online form for signature from Google Drive

Have a document that needs to be signed over and over again? Simply create a reusable form with a shareable link that requires signature. Send that link via email or embed on web page and collect thousands of signed documents with one simple form.

“HelloSign is excited to integrate with Google Drive. HelloFax was a Google Drive launch partner and we continue to be impressed by the platform” says Joseph Walla, HelloFax CEO. ” Our goal as a company is to create tools, like online document signing, so that all offices go paperless. Hopefully, the HelloSign and HelloFax integrations with Google Drive bring us one step closer to that goal.”

Macworld writes about our iPhone app!

“We live in an increasingly paperless world, but just try to get someone’s signature without one or more sheets of letter-size stock. Whether you need to collect signatures or fork over yours, it usually means dealing with printed matter.

Or maybe not, if you sign up for HelloSign. This service and its companion app for iOS make it surprisingly easy to sign and send documents electronically. Best of all, it’s free.”
