Using embedded requesting in Dropbox Sign
Updated Nov 25, 2025
In this article
With Dropbox Sign’s embedded requesting feature, people can create and send signature requests directly from your site using an iFrame. This is done with the hellosign-embedded library, which is Dropbox Sign’s official client-side tool.
Additional features include:
- Embedded Testing Tool: To test any embedded flows without having to write any JavaScript code. Learn more about the Embedded Testing Tool.
- App Approval: To ensure integrations adhere to eSignature regulations.
- Domain Restriction: When a domain does not match a client id, the page won’t load. You can turn off this feature for easier development.
- HTTPS Required: Pages will still load over HTPP but will show an alert, switching to HTTPS prevents this alert from appearing.
- Redirection: When you specify a redirect URL, the iFrame will take users there after they send the document(s). Data from the send event will be added to the URL’s query string.
- Text Tags: You can check the embedded functionality with Dropbox Sign Text Tags.
- Client Side Events: You can listen for various events emitted by the client.
