Contracts are the foundation of any business. They often mark major milestones, such as a new hire, the closing of a new client, a new fundraising event or a finalized partnership. Accelerated by the pandemic, most of our work has moved online in recent years, and contracts are no exception. eSignature tools are popping up everywhere, and among the lot is Yousign.

Common e-signature tracking challenges

When managing multiple contracts, it's easy for companies to lose of that word document you trying to get signed.

"Has the Partner Program manager signed the contract?"

"Who are the angels that haven't completed the fundraising doc?"

"How many clients are closed as of this week?"

All this data lives on your eSignature tool. And the solution to restoring order to it? Yousign + folk. Let us explain.

The folk + Yousign integration is one of our most exciting yet. Through Zapier, connect Yousign directly to your folk CRM so you can easily stay on top of documents.
