Documents in Optix houses all digitally signed documents that you have sent to users via Automations, as well as all documents that have been manually uploaded to your Users' accounts.

To see all your Users' documents in one place, navigate to the Mange tab in your dashboard and select Documents. You can search for Users or documents name via the search icon in the top right corner, or filter by document status, account or date.


How to enable Document signing

  1. Navigate to Settings > Features > Documents

  2. Click Enable Feature

  3. Toggle Document signing on and save changes


How to send documents for e-signatures via Optix

Document Signing is a sub-feature of Documents and can be enabled or disabled independently. This makes it easy to offer document management without requiring signature workflows. Document signing is useful for:

  • Membership or plan agreements

  • Event or space rental contracts

  • General administrative documents

  • If you prefer to have a signature copy of your member terms and conditions

Note: Document Signatures is an add-on feature in Optix. Each signed document will result in an automated $1 charge added to your Optix invoice.


Once Document signing is enabled in your dashboard, follow the steps below to automate sending documents to your Users

  1. Navigate to Automations

  2. Click Add automation

  3. Choose a trigger (e.g. “New plan added”)

  4. Select the action Send a document for signing

  5. Add the document name, contract details, and recipients

  6. Click Done to activate your Automation

Preview documents before sending

When creating an Automation with the Send a document for signing action, you can preview the document before it is sent.

  • After uploading or selecting the contract details, click Preview document to see the final version your Users will receive

  • This allows you to confirm that all details (e.g., names, dates, and relevant information) are correct before activating the automation

Once all parties have signed the document, the status in your Documents will automatically update to Signed.


How to manually upload documents (without e-signature)

In addition to e-signatures, you can manually upload documents directly from the Documents page:

  1. Navigate to Manage > Documents in your Optix dashboard

  2. Click Add document icon

  3. Upload the file you’d like to attach (e.g., scanned agreements, ID copies, or other records)

  4. Assign the document to a specific User or Team

  5. Save the document — it will then appear in the User’s or Team’s document list alongside any digitally signed documents

Note: This option is for uploading files only. No e-signature is required or requested for documents added this way.


How to resend a signature request

If a document is still in Out for signing status, you can resend the request to Users who haven’t signed yet. This will send them a reminder email linking to the same document without creating a new submission.

To resend a signature request:

  1. Navigate to Manage > Documents in your Optix dashboard

  2. Locate the document with status Out for signing

  3. Click the 3-dot menu to the right of the document

  4. Select Resend

The Users who have not yet signed will receive a new email invitation with a link to complete the signing process.

Note: The Resend option is only available for documents with the status Out for signing.


Where are the documents sent from?

By default, signature requests are sent via our Integration with DocuSeal, the underlying signing platform that Optix integrates with for e-signatures. Each signed document includes:

  • Relevant summaries (ie. Plan or Assignment summaries)

  • Any custom addendum content you’ve added

  • A signature section for all signers

  • A compiled PDF with all relevant information

Note: The document will automatically pull in names and dates as pre-populated content in the document.


Documents are white labelled, and when emailed to your members the document will display your organization's name and logos.
