Template Variables

Variables are placeholders in your template that get replaced with actual values. They use double curly braces:

{{variable_name}}

Variable Syntax

Use snake_case for variable names:

{{client_name}}
{{contract_date}}
{{project_description}}
{{client_signature}}

Naming rules:

• Lowercase letters and underscores only
• Start with a letter, not a number
• No spaces or special characters

Configuring Variables

After adding variables to your template, click the Variables tab to configure how each variable behaves.

Completed By

Each variable is completed by either the Creator (when creating the contract) or the Signer (when signing).

Field Types

The available field types depend on who completes the variable.

Creator field types:

• Text - General text input
• Email - Email address
• Phone - Phone number
• Date - Date picker

Signer field types:

• Signature - Signature capture field
• Initials - Initials field
• Signer Name - Auto-filled with signer's name
• Timestamp - Auto-filled with signing date/time
