Send document on behalf

It is now possible to send API signature requests on behalf of another user who doesn’t have a BoldSign account. This is very useful in multi-tenant SAAS application usage scenarios where signature requests need to be sent from the tenant’s identity and not from the SAAS application’s identity.
Your SAAS application’s users just need to click on an approval link sent through BoldSign before they can send out contracts under their identity. This is also very cost effective since you do not pay per tenant and only pay for the documents sent.

An example of usage would be a HR SAAS software company integrating BoldSign’s APIs. Now, all the HR company’s customers would be able to send contracts out for signature under their own identity. This is a unique feature that is not offered by any other vendor on the market.
