Signaturit Connection Guide with Mangobeds

3 min read

Signaturit is an electronic signature service. Connect your Signaturit account to Mangobeds and your guests sign their booking documents online, from their phone, instead of downloading the file, signing it on paper and uploading it back. This is the Signaturit integration for document signing in Mangobeds.

Once connected, Mangobeds:

  • Sends each document you ask the guest to sign to Signaturit
  • Shows the guest a Sign now button in their guest portal
  • Marks the document Signed as soon as the guest finishes
  • Replaces the original with the signed PDF and saves Signaturit’s audit trail on the booking

Online signing is part of the Premium plan.

Before you start: get your Signaturit access token

You need a Signaturit account. Signaturit also offers a free sandbox account, which is handy to try the whole flow before you sign anything real.

  1. Log in to Signaturit.
  2. Open Settings, then API.
  3. Copy the access token. Keep it private: anyone with it can send documents from your account.

Setting It Up

Step 1: Open the Documents app

In your Mangobeds dashboard, go to Apps, open Documents and choose the Signing tab.

Step 2: Connect Signaturit

Under Signing provider, pick Signaturit and fill in:

  • Signaturit access token: the token you copied
  • Signature type: Simple or Advanced. Use the type your Signaturit plan includes. Simple works for most rental agreements.
  • Days the guest has to sign: 30 by default. After this the link stops working.

Click Connect. Mangobeds checks the token with Signaturit and shows Connected. A sandbox token also shows a Sandbox badge, as a reminder that those signatures have no legal value.

Step 3: Ask a guest to sign

Nothing changes in the way you ask for a signature. Open the booking, go to the Documents tab, open the document menu and click Request Signing. Template documents attached to an automated email are sent for signing on their own.

The document must be a PDF. The row then reads Sent with Signaturit, waiting for the guest to sign.

Step 4: The guest signs

The guest gets the usual Please sign your document email with a link to the guest portal. There, the document has a Sign now button that opens Signaturit, where they read and sign it.

When they finish, the booking shows Signed online with Signaturit and the date, the signed PDF replaces the original, and the document menu gets an Audit trail item with Signaturit’s certificate of the signature.

Good to know

Who signs. The main guest of the booking signs. Their name and email come from the booking, so check the email is right before you ask.

Declined or expired. If the guest declines or the link expires, the row says so and the document menu offers Send for signing again.

Cancelling. Cancel Signing Request also cancels the request in Signaturit, so the guest’s link stops working.

Emails from Signaturit. Mangobeds sends the request email itself. Once the document is signed, Signaturit also emails a copy of the signed document to the guest and to your Signaturit account, under your Signaturit account’s name.

Disconnecting. Disconnect from the Signing tab at any time. Requests the guests have not signed yet are cancelled, and guests go back to signing the manual way.

Requirements

  • A Mangobeds Premium plan
  • A Signaturit account and its API access token
  • Documents in PDF
  • An email address on the booking’s main guest

Paperwork, done before arrival

Pair it with document templates: generate the rental agreement with the booking details filled in, and the guest signs it online before they arrive. See how documents work in Mangobeds for the full picture.
