Yousign to Calisto Sign

Questions about switching
Can I bring my templates with me?
Yes. Upload your documents as PDFs (a Word file or a photo is converted to PDF on upload), place Signature, Initials, Date, Date Signed, Text and Checkbox fields, and assign them to numbered signer roles. Agreement templates can also be written as words, with starter wording, so no PDF is needed.
How do my signers prove who they are?
Each signer can have their own access code that is never emailed, with a lockout after five wrong tries. Before signing you can also require an ID check with liveness, or ID plus AML screening, for every signer or only people outside the business.
Will Sign chase signers for me?
Yes. An automatic chase is included, and you can add your own reminder sequences by email or text. Deadlines warn three days before, expire on their own, and can be extended, and you can remind one envelope or many at once.
