How this automation works

Apply a signature to PDF attachments automatically with PDF.co. It runs whenever you send an email with the chosen hashtag and a PDF attachment to the IFTTT trigger address, then sends the attachment URL to PDF.co to place your signature image. This saves time signing contracts, forms, or invoices shared by Email and is ideal for freelancers, legal teams, and small businesses using Email and PDF.co.
