Create an Action Button to send e-sign with Javascript

Hi ​@VMorant,

Thanks for reaching out.
Let us address both parts separately, as they have different answers depending on your use case.

Q1 — Can you add an action button that sends the form to e-sign on click?

There is no native action button available within Acrobat Sign's form authoring environment to trigger sending. There are two supported approaches depending on your needs:

• No-code: Custom Send Workflow

Custom Send Workflows allow administrators to pre-define recipients, documents, and fields on a guided Compose page. The sender simply selects Send Now to initiate the agreement — making it a streamlined, near-one-click experience from the Acrobat Sign Home page. Adobe

Admins can configure this via: Admin menu → Global Settings → Custom Send Workflows

• Developer: REST API

For a true button-triggered send from a custom application, the Acrobat Sign REST API is the correct path. You first upload your document to obtain a transientDocumentId, then call POST /agreements passing the recipient email, signature type, and document reference — sending the agreement entirely programmatically.

Q2 — Can the email field on the form be used to send to that address automatically, without user action?

Web forms require that each participant provide their email address so the signature action can be explicitly attributed to them. However, the collected email does not automatically trigger the sending of a separate agreement to another recipient — it identifies only the current signer. adobe

To use a form-collected email as the recipient of a programmatically sent agreement without any user action, the REST API is the only supported method. The recipient's email is passed directly in the participantSetsInfo array of the POST /agreements call, allowing you to fully automate the send based on any email value captured upstream. Adobe
