Frequently asked questions
How do approval workflows run through the API?
Approvals are set up in your templates. When a contract is generated, the API enforces those steps automatically. Once approved, the document routes to signers.
Can I set signing order and automate routing?
Yes. The API supports signing order, sending contracts in sequence. With template approvals, you control how each contract moves through review and signing.
How can contract status be monitored with API contract management?
Subscribe to webhook events such as sent, viewed, approved, completed, or declined to monitor contract status in real time.
Can follow-ups be automated when contracts are delayed?
Yes. Use status endpoints and webhooks to detect delays, then trigger reminders.
How are executed contracts archived with compliance data?
Download the signed PDF and request the audit trail via API, then store them in your system of record to stay compliant.
Can signers stay inside our product?
Yes. Use embedded signing to keep the entire signing process inside your application.
Does the API support CLM workflows?
Yes. The PandaDoc API gives you programmatic control over the full contract lifecycle: creating documents, routing for signature, tracking status via webhooks, and retrieving signed copies with complete audit trails. You can build and trigger these workflows from your own systems without requiring users to work inside PandaDoc directly.
