In this article, we will explore what an electronic signature API is and how its integration into management software brings significant benefits.

The electronic signature has become an essential tool for the management of documents and transactions in the business world. If before we needed several days to have a contract signed by all parties, now with the digital signature agreements are closed in a matter of minutes.

But, what if we also do these actions from the business management programs we use on a daily basis?

Great, isn't it? Well, the only thing we have to do is to integrate XolidoSign electronic signature in the applications and systems we use in our company.

XolidoSign electronic signature has API Web Services that will allow us to integrate the signature in our software.

What is an API?

An API "Application Programming Interface" is a set of protocols and standards that will enable the connection between two different applications allowing communication between them.

In this way we will be able to integrate the XolidoSign electronic signature API in your management software generating a connection between the two programs.

Among other operations we will be able to request the signature of a document to a user (customer, supplier, employee, etc.) from the business management software (CRM, payroll program, accounting, real estate program, insurance program, recovery program, etc.) with a single action and without having to use multiple programs.
