How to Integrate eSignatures with Your Hubspot CRM

Connecting eSignature tools with your Hubspot CRM helps you automate contracts, close deals faster, and keep every signed document neatly stored on contact and deal records.

This guide walks you through exactly how the integration works, the options you have, and the practical steps to set up an embedded signing experience inside your CRM.

Why Combine eSignatures with Hubspot CRM

When your signature workflow lives outside Hubspot, sales and service teams waste time switching tabs, chasing paperwork, and uploading files manually.

By integrating an eSignature app directly with your CRM, you can:

• Trigger documents from deals, tickets, or quotes
• Track signing status on the same record your team already uses
• Automate follow-ups when signatures are pending or complete
• Create a consistent signing experience for every customer

The result is a streamlined, trackable, and reportable workflow that fits directly into your existing pipeline.

How Hubspot eSignature Integrations Work

Most eSignature integrations for Hubspot follow a similar pattern. They connect your CRM data with your document templates so you can generate, send, and track agreements in a few clicks.

Core Components of a Hubspot eSignature Flow

Typical integrations are built around four core components:

1. Templates: Prebuilt contracts, NDAs, proposals, and onboarding forms stored in your eSignature tool.
2. CRM records: Contacts, companies, deals, or tickets that supply data and store the signed files.
3. Merge fields: Dynamic fields that pull CRM data (names, addresses, amounts) into your templates.
4. Events and properties: Status fields and timeline events that track each step of the signing journey.

Once connected, users can stay inside Hubspot while their eSignature platform handles the secure signing and storage process.

Choosing an eSignature App for Hubspot

You can find many options in the Hubspot App Marketplace. When you evaluate tools, focus on how deeply they integrate with existing CRM objects and workflows.

Key Features to Look For in a Hubspot Integration

• Native Hubspot app: A listing in the official App Marketplace usually means a smoother, better-documented connection.
• Embedded signer experience: The ability to let customers sign embedded forms or pages, not just via email links.
• Two-way data sync: Signed status, dates, and document links should update back into your CRM records.
• Automation support: Use workflows to create, send, and follow up on documents automatically.
• Security & compliance: Support for audit trails, access controls, and regional compliance standards.

Before installation, review pricing, limits on envelopes or documents, and whether the integration supports every Hubspot object your team uses.

Step-by-Step: Set Up a Hubspot eSignature Integration

The exact steps vary by provider, but the high-level process is usually similar. Use the outline below as a reference while you follow your chosen app’s documentation.

1. Install the App from the Hubspot Marketplace

1. Sign in to your Hubspot account with admin permissions.
2. Navigate to the App Marketplace from your main navigation.
3. Search for your preferred eSignature tool.
4. Open the listing, review features, and select Connect app.
5. Authorize access when prompted so the eSignature app can read and write CRM data.

After installation, you’ll usually see new actions, sidebar cards, or workflow options appear in your Hubspot portal.

2. Connect Your eSignature Account

Most apps require you to link an existing eSignature account or create a new one.

1. Open the installed app from your Hubspot settings or main navigation.
2. Log into your eSignature provider when prompted.
3. Confirm organization-level settings, such as default users, branding, and notification preferences.

Once connected, the integration can access your templates and send documents on behalf of your team.

3. Map Hubspot Fields to Document Templates

Next, configure how CRM data populates your documents. This step makes your templates dynamic and eliminates manual editing.

1. Open your eSignature template editor.
2. Add merge fields wherever you need CRM data, such as:

• Contact name and email
• Company name and address
• Deal amount and close date
• Custom properties like subscription term or product SKU

3. In the integration settings, map each merge field to a specific Hubspot property.
4. Save your template and test with a sample contact or deal.

Proper field mapping ensures every generated agreement is accurate and ready to sign the moment it’s created.

4. Trigger Documents from Hubspot Records

After mapping, you can start sending documents from within your CRM.

1. Open a contact, company, deal, or ticket record.
2. Use the new eSignature action in the record sidebar or actions menu.
3. Select the appropriate template for that scenario (proposal, order form, NDA, or onboarding packet).
4. Check that the auto-filled data is correct.
5. Send the document for signature directly from the Hubspot interface.

Many integrations allow you to add multiple signers, change signing order, or personalize message content before sending.

5. Track Signing Status in Hubspot

A strong integration updates your CRM automatically as signatures move through each step.

Typical updates include:

• New timeline events when a document is sent, viewed, or signed
• Status properties such as Sent, Viewed, Partially Signed, and Completed
• Links to the final signed PDF stored on the associated record

These updates keep every stakeholder informed without leaving Hubspot.

Automating Workflows with Hubspot and eSignatures

Once your basic integration is running, you can use workflows to automate repetitive tasks around document creation and follow-up.

Popular Hubspot Workflow Ideas

• Send agreements when deals reach a stage: Automatically create and send contracts when a deal moves to a specific pipeline step.
• Notify reps of stalled signatures: Trigger internal tasks or emails when a document sits in Sent status for more than a few days.
• Update lifecycle stages: Move contacts to customer or onboarding stages once a key agreement is signed.
• Trigger onboarding sequences: Start nurture emails and internal handoffs after a signed agreement is received.

Using workflows, your team can rely on Hubspot to handle routine follow-ups while they focus on high-value conversations.

Best Practices for Managing eSignatures in Hubspot

To keep your CRM organized and your reporting accurate, follow these practices after you launch the integration.

• Standardize template naming conventions across teams.
• Align deal stages and signature statuses so your pipeline reflects reality.
• Limit who can edit key templates to maintain brand and legal consistency.
• Review audit trails regularly for compliance requirements.
• Use custom reports to monitor document volume, cycle time, and close rates.

These habits help you maintain a reliable, scalable signing process directly inside your CRM.
