Deployment Basics
Deployment is either through Dropbox Sign's own web app (for teams sending documents directly) or embedded via the API/SDK into your own product (for teams that want signing to happen inside their own application) -- these are genuinely different implementation paths, not variations of the same setup.
Steps to Implement
For the embedded API path, implementation means integrating the SDK, mapping your document types to Dropbox Sign templates, and handling webhook events for status updates -- a developer task distinct from the web-app path, which is mostly template and user configuration through the UI.
Actionable Considerations
- Decide between the standalone web app and embedded API/SDK path early, since they involve genuinely different setup work.
- Build out a template library mapped to your actual document types before wide rollout.
- For the API path, implement webhook handling for signature status updates rather than polling for status manually.
