CONTRACT STATUS, REMINDERS AND AUDIT TRAIL

§ ESTIMATES + CONTRACTS4 min READUPDATED 2026-08

Track every contract in realtime, nudge pending signers, and read the signer timeline and audit trail.

Once a contract is out the door, the job becomes watching and nudging. The CONTRACTS tab is a live list: sent, signed, and completed status changes appear the moment they happen, with no refresh — if a customer signs while you are looking at the screen, you will see it flip.

WHERE: CUSTOMERS → open a customer → CONTRACTS tab

§Reading the list

Each row shows the contract title, the signer and their signing method, the amount, and a status chip. Two actions matter day to day: OPEN and REMIND.

§The contract detail

OPEN shows the full picture: current status, the signer timeline — who has signed, whose turn it is, who has not opened yet — and the audit trail recording every event in the document’s life. When a customer claims they never got it or a dispute surfaces months later, the audit trail is your answer.

§Reminders

  1. 01Tap REMIND on the contract row to re-nudge every pending signer — each one gets a fresh email pointing at their own signing link.
  2. 02For hands-off follow-up, have an admin enable the automatic reminder cadence in Contract settings: on/off, interval in days, and a maximum number of reminders.

§Notifications and escalation

Contract signed and contract declined are treated as high-priority events in your notification system. Admins can add escalation rules on critical events — CC an admin, or escalate to a text message if nobody acts within a set number of minutes — so a declined contract never sits unnoticed overnight.

NOTE
Admins get a company-wide view in Admin Console → DOCUMENTS → Contracts hub: all contracts with status, signer timelines, and audit trails, plus renewals and an E-SIGN AUDIT panel in Contract settings.
TIP
A completed contract is sealed — the final PDF is fingerprinted and comes with a Certificate of Completion, so what you download later is provably what was signed. See "What your customer sees when signing" for how sealing works.
