Today, API serves as the backbone for many successful companies. Even when using apps for your own individual needs, you almost certainly interact with APIs daily in one way or another. For example, when you ask Alexa to play music on Spotify, a lot happens behind the scenes to get you what you want. Much of that depends on APIs.
How electronic signature API works in SignNow
As in the example above, APIs serve as communication bridges between apps, enabling data sharing and action execution. The SignNow electronic signature integration employs this concept, allowing you to use SignNow's capabilities within your application or CRM. It facilitates such processes as self-eSigning, sending eSignature requests, tracking status, and saving signed documents to your records system.
