Sending Company Contracts in AviontéBOLD

In AviontéBOLD, users can use Adobe Sign to send onboarding documents to talent and use the integration to send contracts to customer contacts. Users can send Adobe Sign documents from the Company area to specific Contacts for the purpose of capturing electronic signatures on company-specific documents, such as contracts and service agreements.

Key Takeaways

• Edit & Send: Users have the option to edit the documents before sending, which is a common need for contracts, where rates and line items may be negotiated.
• Automated Contract Management: When a document is sent to a client, a Contract type is automatically checked in the Company Contracts section. This functionality allows for real-time tracking of when documents are sent and signed.
• Personalized email: When sending out an Adobe Sign document to a Company Contact, the email used is not a standard system template; it is personalized at the time of sending.
• Adobe Sign Document Delivery: For Contacts, the delivery of the electronic signature document will be sent directly to the contact's email, rather than accessing documents through a portal. This makes capturing signatures easier and faster.
• You can add an expiration date to documents. This is similar to the functionality currently available for talent documents. The option appears on the Company Documents tab, when uploading documents.

Template Creation

Before users can send contracts or other documents to company contacts, a template for the contract will need to be created in your Adobe Sign Library. Users can configure Adobe Sign templates in the same way onboarding documents are created. Please see the article below for instruction on creating e-signature document templates in your Adobe library:
