E-signature opportunity?
Fluent Forms already collects signatures, but there appears to be an opportunity for a complete self-hosted document execution system within the Fluent ecosystem: reusable agreement templates populated from Fluent Forms, multiple signers, sequential signing, signer authentication, immutable audit trails, tamper-evident completed PDFs, certificates of completion, automatic FluentCRM tagging/automation, reminders, expiry, and secure document storage. Existing WordPress solutions such as ApproveMe are relatively expensive and don't integrate naturally with Fluent Forms, while newer competitors are now specifically targeting Fluent integrations. A native Fluent solution could keep the entire agreement workflow inside the WPManageNinja ecosystem. 💡 Shahjahan Jewel
You may find this thread (and the comments) interesting. The team has already said it’s not their intention to enter into the legal compliance field with fluent forms 🙂↕️

PS.: I would love to see this implemented some day tbh!
Me too, Jorge de los Reyes I trust WPManageNinja and know that whatever they create will serve me well. I'm not sure they fully grasp the need for something like this as an add-on to the Fluent ecosystem. It's a real headache to find something else that is as trustworthy and dependable. Shahjahan Jewel You all ROCK! ✨✨✨
Jean Hamilton-Fford 100%! That trust is exactly what makes this such a compelling opportunity.
E-signatures are just one of the many capabilities that could serve service-based and B2B businesses incredibly well.
As the community grows, it’s becoming increasingly clear that WPManageNinja has a huge opportunity to build a deeply integrated ecosystem for this space:
• A dedicated service product type in FluentCart, with milestones, roadmaps, deliverables, and service status
• Sales pipelines in FluentCRM (coming)
• Email piping for transactional emails (coming)
• E-signatures (one day… 🥲)
• Quotes, proposals, and invoicing
• A client portal tab for contracts, invoices, files, and project status
• Time tracking and billable hours
• Recurring services and retainers
• Tasks and project management linked to clients and deals
• Automated onboarding and offboarding workflows
Ideally, it would all connect end to end:
Lead → opportunity → proposal → signature → payment → onboarding → service delivery → invoicing → renewal.
Piece by piece, this is starting to look like a remarkably complete operating system for service-based businesses.
At this rate, we may accidentally end up with a full ERP 😂
Jorge de los Reyes THAT, a full ERP, would be certainly something to celebrate and would keep WPManageNinja on the board as the premier ecosystem to use. One step at a time, I suppose and there are only so many weekends for Shahjahan Jewel to use. What a fabulous opportunity! ✨🌻😊
Jorge de los Reyes Agree👍
I would love to see that.
I do like Fluent Forms, but I can't collect client information without appropriate and legally defensible consent. My understanding is that even with the paid cosmetic signature add-on, Fluent Forms does not have the capability to facilitate consent documentation (or any other legal signature) at this time. Maybe when it can print a copy of the form my client saw and signed, and not just a record of the back-end attributes. Until then, I have to rely on another tool to collect signatures before I can use Fluent Forms and Community, etc.
So, +1 for this feature or any approximation of it!
