Yousign Integration

EU-based eIDAS-qualified e-signatures with data stored in France.

E-Signature

Yousign

Yousign is the leading European e-signature platform — ISO 27001 certified, eIDAS-qualified, and GDPR-compliant with all data stored in French data centres. The GJSDocs integration uses the Yousign v3 API: add [[sig:role]] tokens to any document, connect your API key, and collect legally binding signatures from within the editor. All signing data stays in Europe.

Best for

  • EU-based legal and operations teams requiring eIDAS-qualified signatures
  • Companies with GDPR data residency requirements (all data stays in France)
  • Teams signing NDAs, service agreements, and regulated documents under EU law

What it supports

  • API key authentication with separate sandbox and production environments
  • [[sig:role]], [[initials:role]], [[date:role]] anchor tokens → Yousign v3 anchors
  • Multi-signer procedures with branded email invitations
  • Status tracking: Sent → Viewed → Signed / Declined / Expired
  • Remind and Cancel actions from the editor
  • eIDAS Simple Electronic Signature (SES) by default; AES/QES via Yousign settings

Setup Steps

  1. 1

    Log into Yousign → Settings → Developers → API Keys → Create key and copy it.

  2. 2

    In GJSDocs, go to Workspace → Integrations → Yousign and paste the key.

  3. 3

    Set Sandbox Mode to true for testing — Yousign sandbox sends real invitation emails, so use a test inbox.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Click Send for Signature in the editor, fill in each signer's name and email, and send.

Examples of variable keys you can use inside templates:

[[sig:client]] — full signature field for the client role[[initials:provider]] — initials field for the provider role[[date:client]] — auto-filled signing date for the client role

Security + Reliability Notes

  • - API key encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest, never returned to the browser
  • - All Yousign data stored in French data centres — no data leaves the EU
  • - Yousign is registered as a GDPR data processor; a DPA is available on request

Delivery notes

  • - Yousign sandbox sends real emails — use your own test inbox, not real client addresses, during development.
  • - The signed PDF includes a Yousign certificate with signer identities, timestamps, and a document fingerprint.
  • - For AES or QES (higher eIDAS levels), configure authentication requirements in your Yousign account settings.
