What you get

The whole paperwork lifecycle, as endpoints.

Everything teams need to create, sign, and archive documents — wired together behind one API and one dashboard.

Generate documents by API

Turn templates with merge fields into pixel-perfect PDFs in one request. Version them, localise them, and render thousands without touching a layout tool.

Legally binding e-signatures

Collect signatures that hold up under eIDAS and the ESIGN Act. Order signers, send reminders, and capture intent — on web or embedded in your own product.

Routing & workflows

Define signing order, conditional steps, and automatic reminders. Ecylaa drives each envelope from draft to completion and tells you the moment it's done.

Tamper-evident audit trail

Every view, signature, and field change is recorded and sealed into a certificate of completion you can hand to a court, an auditor, or a customer.

In the API

One endpoint, the whole flow.

Send a template id and a recipient and Ecylaa renders the PDF, emails the signer, and starts tracking. No PDF library, no SMTP, no signature law to read.

  • Idempotent requests with clear, typed errors
  • Webhooks for sent · viewed · completed
  • Signed PDF and certificate returned automatically

How it works

Three calls from blank page to binding contract.

01

Create a template

Upload a document, drop in merge fields and signature anchors, and save it as a reusable template — once.

02

Send an envelope

POST the template id and your recipients. Ecylaa renders the PDF, emails the signers, and starts the workflow.

03

Get it back signed

Listen on a webhook. When the last signer is done, you receive the signed PDF and a sealed audit certificate.
