Send Jira issues for e-signing

If you want an internal or external stakeholder to approve or agree to a Jira issue, start by opening the issue. Then click the ellipsis button in the upper right corner and select “Contract Signatures”.

This will open a window to enable you to start the signing process and generate an audit trail in Jira. Click “Create”.

Enter the number of people who need to sign. You can also preview the unsigned document in PDF or HTML format. Then click “Continue”.

Enter the names and email addresses of the signees, and click “Send”.

You can use the checkbox in front of the signers to send them a copy of the completed contract or disable it, by default it is on.

Now you can see that the Jira issue has been sent.

Clicking on the issue title will show you the HTML contract version of the issue, with a signature field for each signee.

You will now see the HTML contract as an attachment.

The signee will receive an email that looks like this. It will contain a link to a read-only version of the contract, which they can sign.
