OpenText Core Signature - WhatsApp Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Core Signature and WhatsApp

OpenText Core Signature and WhatsApp complement each other well when organizations need to move documents through approval and signature workflows while keeping stakeholders informed through a fast, familiar communication channel. OpenText Core Signature manages the legally binding signing process, while WhatsApp can be used to notify, remind, and guide users to complete actions quickly.

1. Signature Request Notifications for Customer Agreements

Data flow: OpenText Core Signature to WhatsApp

When a contract, order form, or service agreement is ready for signature in OpenText Core Signature, the system can send a WhatsApp message to the signer with a secure link to review and sign the document. This reduces email dependency and improves completion rates for time-sensitive agreements.

• Useful for sales contracts, renewals, and partner agreements
• Speeds up turnaround time by reaching users on a channel they check frequently
• Reduces delays caused by missed email notifications

2. Automated Signature Reminders for Pending Approvals

Data flow: OpenText Core Signature to WhatsApp

For documents awaiting signature, WhatsApp can deliver automated reminders to signers, approvers, or managers when deadlines are approaching. This is especially valuable for HR forms, procurement approvals, and compliance documents where delays can affect downstream processes.

• Supports reminder schedules based on due dates or SLA thresholds
• Helps reduce manual follow-up by operations teams
• Improves process completion rates for distributed teams

3. Two-Way Signing Status Updates for Internal Teams

Data flow: Bi-directional

Business users can receive WhatsApp updates when a document is sent, viewed, signed, declined, or completed in OpenText Core Signature. In return, users can respond through WhatsApp with simple commands or links to request a resend, escalate a delay, or confirm receipt. This creates a lightweight status management channel for busy teams.

• Useful for HR, legal, sales operations, and customer service teams
• Reduces the need to log into multiple systems for status checks
• Improves visibility into document progress across departments

4. Customer Onboarding Document Completion Support

Data flow: Bi-directional

During customer onboarding, WhatsApp can be used to guide customers through the signature journey managed in OpenText Core Signature. The customer receives a message with the required document, signs electronically, and can be prompted through WhatsApp if additional steps are needed, such as identity confirmation or missing information.

• Ideal for banking, insurance, telecom, and professional services onboarding
• Reduces abandonment during onboarding workflows
• Improves customer experience by simplifying document completion

5. HR Offer Letter and Policy Acknowledgment Workflow

Data flow: OpenText Core Signature to WhatsApp

HR teams can trigger WhatsApp notifications when offer letters, employment contracts, or policy acknowledgments are ready for signature in OpenText Core Signature. Candidates and employees can be reminded to complete the action quickly, helping HR close hiring and compliance tasks faster.

• Supports high-volume hiring and employee lifecycle processes
• Helps new hires complete paperwork before start dates
• Improves acknowledgment rates for mandatory policy documents

6. Procurement and Vendor Agreement Approvals

Data flow: OpenText Core Signature to WhatsApp

Procurement teams can notify vendors or internal approvers through WhatsApp when purchase agreements, supplier contracts, or change orders are ready for signature. This is useful when external parties are not active in corporate email systems or need a faster communication channel to complete approvals.

• Accelerates vendor onboarding and contract execution
• Reduces bottlenecks in approval chains
• Supports distributed supplier networks and field-based approvers

7. Escalation and Exception Handling for Stalled Signatures

Data flow: Bi-directional

If a signature request remains incomplete beyond a defined threshold, OpenText Core Signature can trigger a WhatsApp escalation to a manager, alternate signer, or operations team. The recipient can then take action, such as approving a replacement signer or requesting a revised document, helping avoid process delays.

• Useful for time-critical legal, finance, and compliance workflows
• Reduces manual tracking of overdue documents
• Improves accountability and exception resolution

8. Post-Signature Confirmation and Next-Step Communication

Data flow: OpenText Core Signature to WhatsApp

After a document is fully executed in OpenText Core Signature, WhatsApp can send a confirmation message with the signed document status and next-step instructions. For example, a customer may receive confirmation of a signed service agreement, while an employee may receive onboarding instructions or a vendor may receive purchase order details.

• Creates a clear handoff from signature completion to operational follow-up
• Reduces confusion after document execution
• Improves transparency for customers, employees, and suppliers
