Implementing "Checkbox as Electronic Signature" in Webflow Form with DocuSign Integration

My Setup

I have a user access request form built in Webflow that requires users to agree to terms and conditions. Currently, the form has a checkbox that users must check to indicate agreement.

What I'm Trying to Accomplish

I want to implement a legally binding electronic signature process where:

  1. The user simply checks a box to sign the terms and conditions
  2. This checkbox action is recorded as a valid electronic signature in DocuSign
  3. The signature is legally binding and creates proper audit records
  4. The entire process happens within my Webflow form without redirecting to DocuSign

Technical Requirements

  • The form needs to maintain its current UX with checkbox-based acceptance
  • Each signature needs to be properly recorded and verifiable
  • Solution should work with Webflow's capabilities
  • Must capture relevant metadata (timestamp, IP address, etc.) for legal validity (optional tbh)

Specific Questions

  1. Is it possible to use DocuSign's API to record a checkbox click as an electronic signature?
  2. Can DocuSign's embedded signing functionality be modified to work with a simple checkbox rather than a traditional signature field?
  3. What would be the recommended approach: DocuSign API, PowerForms, or some other solution?
  4. Are there code examples available for this specific use case?

Additional Context

The form is part of a corporate access request system where users must agree to specific terms before gaining access to our platform. The solution needs to be compliant with relevant electronic signature regulations.

Thank you for any guidance you can provide!

TLDR

 

I need to implement a legally binding electronic signature in my Webflow form where the user clicks a checkbox in a form, and on the back end, it issues a signed document (Terms & Condition) for me.
