SignSelf: Contract Sender & Typed E-Signature
SignSelf: Contract Sender & Typed E-Signature ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.
Send agreements, collect a typed signature with a real audit trail, and chase what's unsigned — from your own n8n and one Google Sheet, with no per-envelope bill.
- Send any agreement from a reusable template library kept in one Google Sheet, with your own merge fields filled in automatically
- Collect a legally meaningful typed signature on a signing page served by your own n8n — no third-party e-signature account involved
- Capture the evidence that matters: typed name, timestamp, IP address, browser, explicit consent, and a fingerprint of the exact text signed
- Catch tampering automatically by re-fingerprinting the stored contract every time the signing link is opened
- Chase unsigned agreements on a daily schedule, bounded by a reminder allowance so nobody gets nagged endlessly
- Expire stale signing links and close off dead agreements without touching the sheet by hand
- Email a countersigned copy and audit certificate to both parties the moment the signature lands
Setup Service — optional live install and test. Choose your tier at checkout (not tied to this template's price).

Workflow summary
3 coordinated workflows handle different parts of the automation.
Send Agreement
Required- 1An agreement request arrives from your form, CRM, or a simple web request
- 2Pulls the matching contract template from your Google Sheet and fills in the signer, company, dates, and your own custom fields
- 3Refuses to send anything with a missing field, an unknown template, or an unfilled placeholder still in the contract text
- 4Records the agreement with a unique reference, a single-use signing token, an expiry date, and a fingerprint of the exact text
- 5Emails the signer a branded link to review and sign the agreement
- 6Writes a sent entry to the append-only audit trail and returns the reference and signing link to whatever made the request
Typed Signature & Audit Trail
Required- 1The signer opens the unique link from their email
- 2Checks the reference, the single-use token, and the expiry date, and re-fingerprints the stored contract to prove it was not edited
- 3Shows the agreement on a clean signing page with a typed-name box and an explicit consent checkbox
- 4Records the signature to an append-only audit trail with the typed name, timestamp, IP address, browser, and document fingerprint
- 5Marks the agreement signed in your sheet, then emails a countersigned copy and audit certificate to the signer and to you
- 6Confirms on screen, and explains plainly when a link is expired, already used, or invalid
Unsigned Agreement Chaser
Optional- 1Runs every morning on a schedule in your timezone
- 2Reads every agreement still waiting for a signature from your Google Sheet
- 3Emails a friendly reminder with the original signing link once an agreement has been quiet for your chosen number of days
- 4Stops after the reminder allowance you set, so no signer is ever nagged endlessly
- 5Closes off agreements past their expiry date and records why they were never signed
- 6Logs every reminder and expiry to the same append-only audit trail
