More details
Most NDA signing tools require creating an account, uploading a template, and configuring fields. With Signbee, you skip all of that — write your NDA terms as markdown, specify the parties, and send. The recipient gets a signing link that works on any device.
Your signed NDA includes a SHA-256 certificate page with timestamps, IP addresses, and verification methods for both parties. This provides stronger legal evidence than a scanned wet signature, which proves nothing about when or how it was applied.
Signbee supports both mutual (two-way) and one-way NDAs. The document content is entirely up to you — write it as markdown text or pass a PDF URL if you have one from your legal team.
For automated NDA workflows, use the API to trigger signing from your CRM or onboarding flow. When a new client is added to your system, automatically generate and send an NDA for signature.
