Foldr Sign · native e-signature

Send for signature. Files never leave.

Foldr Sign sends documents for signature without uploading them to a third-party portal. Templates, reminders, expiry, MFA for external signers and a tamper-evident audit trail. Signed documents land back in the same folder they started in.

Features

Everything an e-signature surface should be.

Sign behaves like the rest of Foldr: addressed against the same directory, scoped to the same permissions, audited into the same activity log. The signed PDF is a file in a folder, not a record in someone else’s database.

Files never leave their folder

No upload to a vendor portal, no per-document fees. The PDF is opened, signed and saved back in the same storage location it started in. Your retention rules, your search index, your permissions model.

Recipients from your directory

Type a colleague’s name, pick a group, paste an external email. Internal users authenticate against your existing IdP; LDAP groups expand to current members at send-time. External signers verify via magic-link.

Templates for repeat work

Save the recipients, fields and order of signing as a template, reuse it next time. NDAs, sales contracts, onboarding packs go out in seconds, not minutes.

Reminders and expiry

Nudge signers automatically on a schedule you set. Envelopes can expire on a hard deadline; chase emails stop the moment the envelope is voided or completed.

Magic-link, MFA where it fits

External signers receive a magic-link to the signing surface, no account to create. Internal signers come through Foldr’s normal login, with TOTP, Duo push or passkey enforced where one is enrolled.

Tamper-evident audit trail

Every action is recorded with timestamp, IP and device: opens, views, signatures, declines. A certificate of completion attaches to the final PDF, hashable for evidential value.

How it works

Three steps. Same shape every time.

The document, the fields, the audit trail and the certificate of completion all live in Foldr, alongside everything else.

1 · Compose

Pick a document, drop the fields

Right-click any PDF in any share and choose “Send for signature.” Drag signature, initials, date and text fields onto the page, assign them to recipients, set the signing order. Save the whole arrangement as a template if you’ll do it again.

2 · Send

Recipients sign without an account

Each signer gets an email with a magic-link straight to the signing surface, no app to install and no account to create. Internal signers come through Foldr’s normal login, with TOTP, Duo push or passkey enforced where one is enrolled. Reminders go out on the schedule you set; the envelope expires on the deadline you set.

3 · Complete

Signed PDF back where it started

The executed document lands in the original folder with the certificate of completion attached and the audit trail stamped on. Webhooks fire, MaSH listeners pick it up, Grace can answer questions about it, Captur can extract fields out of it. The signed file is just a file.

+ Track

One view across every envelope

Outstanding, waiting on whom, expiring when. Resend a single envelope, void the lot, download a bundle of completed PDFs. Activity feed shows opens, views, declines and signatures in real time.

Why “in place” matters

Most e-signature is a detour.

Conventional e-signature uploads your document to a vendor cloud, returns a copy, and keeps the record-of-truth on their servers. Retention, search, access controls and audit all sit with someone else. Foldr Sign opens the file where it already lives, applies the signature, and saves the result alongside the original. Your retention rules, your search index, your permissions model, your auditor’s evidential chain.

Same permissions, same shares

Sign reads the directory you already use.

Recipients you can already see in Foldr (colleagues, group members, share collaborators) are the same recipients Sign can address. A signer who isn’t allowed to open the source share gets a one-shot signing link scoped to the envelope only, and never gains broader access. External users can be added once and reused across every envelope, with no seat tax.

With the rest of Foldr

Sign is the act. The rest of Foldr handles what happens next.

Captur extracts the contract metadata after signing. Grace answers questions about the resulting document set. MaSH routes the executed PDF to the system of record, archives it on a schedule, or kicks off the next envelope in a sequence. A signed document is the beginning of a workflow, not the end of one.
