About Formable

Formable provides embeddable e-signing and redlining APIs for developers to integrate contract workflows into their own products. The signing API accepts a template ID and recipient details via a REST call and returns a short-lived signing URL that can be rendered in an iframe, without redirects or a separate authentication flow for signers. Webhook events notify the integrating server when recipients view, complete, or decline a document.

Backend examples are provided for Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, and PHP. The API is positioned for platforms that need embedded signing built into their own product, such as virtual data rooms, HR onboarding, construction OS, digital mortgage, EOR platforms, transaction platforms, vendor onboarding, legal ops, lease platforms, investor onboarding, sales CPQ, fund admin, procurement software, insurance platforms, and eConsent platforms.
