Sending and Signing

Before you send​

CoreHue checks that everything is ready before you can send:

  • All required variables have values (client name, dates, amounts, etc.)
  • The contract body has content
  • A client is linked

If any variables can't be filled in automatically, CoreHue tells you exactly which ones need attention so you can fix them or provide manual overrides before sending.

Sending​

Two options:

By email​

Click Send to email the contract. Customize the recipients, subject, and message. The email includes a link to the signing page.

Use Mark as Sent to get a shareable link without sending an email. Send it however you like (text, DM, in person).

Both methods fill in all variables before making the contract available.

Pre-signing​

You can sign the contract before sending. When the client opens it, they see your signature already there and just need to add theirs. Once they sign, the contract is immediately completed. No extra step needed.

What the client sees​

  1. The full contract text with everything filled in
  2. Your signature (if you pre-signed)
  3. Any fields they need to fill in
  4. A signature area

How they sign​

Three options:

  • Draw - Use their finger or mouse to draw their signature
  • Type - Type their name in a signature font
  • Upload - Upload an image of their signature

Declining​

Clients can decline with an optional reason. You'll get a notification.

Counter-signing​

If you didn't pre-sign, the contract waits after the client signs. You'll get a notification, then counter-sign from the contract page to complete it.

The client receives a "fully signed" email with a link to download the PDF.

Contract review comments​

Clients can leave comments on specific parts of the contract before signing. This is useful when a client has questions about a clause or wants to negotiate terms.

How comments work​

  • The client highlights or references a section of the contract and writes a comment.
  • Comments are organized into threaded conversations, so you can reply directly to each point.
  • You respond from your dashboard, and the client sees your replies on the public contract page.
  • Threads can be resolved once both sides agree on the wording.
  • Threads are collapsed by default so they do not clutter the contract view.

This keeps negotiations organized and avoids long email chains about contract details. All the conversation history stays attached to the contract itself.

Expiry​

If you set a deadline and the client hasn't signed by then, the contract shows as expired. They won't be able to sign after that.

Reminders​

Send a reminder to the client for any sent contract that hasn't been signed yet.
