FAQ

Questions about Create Signature Agreement.

What does the Create Signature Agreement action do in Adobe Acrobat Sign?

Creates a new signature agreement from a previously uploaded transient document, with the configured signers and signing order. Adobe Sign sends the first signer the email immediately (or all signers in parallel for unordered). Pair with Upload Transient Document — the two-step is Adobe's recommended pattern for programmatic sending.

What inputs does Create Signature Agreement require?

Required: Agreement Name, Transient Document ID, Signer Email. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Adobe Acrobat Sign returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Signature Agreement support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Signature Agreement inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Adobe Acrobat Sign's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
