Integrate Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) With Caspio to Automate Your Electronic Signature Workflows
December 1, 2021
According to a recent study by Forrester, 50% of all businesses struggled with slow document workflows amid the pandemic.
Traditional document management workflows that require users to print, deliver, sign, return and store documents are detrimental to an agile business. If you want to stay competitive, you simply can’t afford to wait around for outdated approval processes.
That’s why using electronic signatures – or e-signatures – is a key component in your digital transformation initiatives.
Want to streamline e-signature workflows in the cloud? Partner with Caspio to integrate Dropbox Sign with our market-leading no-code platform.

5 Important Benefits of E-Signature Workflows
With businesses fully embracing remote work, contactless service models and digital-first transactions, it’s no surprise that the electronic signature market is expected to grow from $2.8 billion in 2020 to $14.1 billion by 2026.
Here are the top reasons to embrace e-signature workflows:
1. Convenient for both businesses and users
Electronic signature workflows initiate immediately and expedite the entire approval process. This allows businesses to operate and respond in real-time, with recipients signing documents in just a few clicks.
2. Improved security and governance
Managing signed documents in a cloud platform makes all the difference. Not only do you benefit from real-time data stored in an online database, you also get enterprise-grade security features and built-in compliance that protect you and your customers in accordance with strict regulatory requirements like HIPAA, FERPA and more.
3. Streamlined paperless systems
Electronic signatures free companies from the inefficiencies of paper-based workflows. The inherent limitations of manually printing documents and physically distributing copies have never been more apparent than during the global pandemic. Companies now look to streamline document workflows and timelines by digitizing the entire process in the cloud.
4. Instantaneous global reach
For organizations managing a distributed workforce or global customer base, implementing e-signatures serves as a reliable path to automated workflow. Streamlining the entire process in a cloud-based application also eliminates having to send an email to request a document to be sent for signature.
5. Significant cost savings
Digital signature workflows alleviate the financial costs required for traditional methods – printers, scanners, paper, delivery services, document storage and disposal, etc. Adopting e-signature technology saves valuable resources while reaping greater rewards.
