Setting up a conditional approval chain in ZiaSign is a structured, repeatable process.
Direct answer: Use ZiaSign’s visual workflow builder to define rules, approvers, and escalation paths based on deal value.
Step 1: Define contract fields
Create structured fields such as deal value, department, and contract type during intake or drafting.
Step 2: Design the workflow
Using drag-and-drop tools, add approval stages and connect them with conditional logic (e.g., “If deal value > $50k, route to Finance”).
Step 3: Assign approvers
Approvers can be individuals, roles, or groups synced via SSO/SCIM in enterprise plans.
Step 4: Add safeguards
Enable fallback approvals if someone is unavailable and configure SLA-based reminders.
Step 5: Test and publish
Run test contracts to confirm routing behaves as expected before publishing.
Once approved, contracts flow directly into legally binding e-signatures compliant with the ESIGN Act, UETA, and the EU’s eIDAS regulation.
Every approval and signature action is captured in an immutable audit trail with timestamps, IP address, and device fingerprints.

Implementation tip: Start simple, then layer complexity as adoption grows.
This step-by-step approach ensures conditional workflows are reliable, auditable, and easy to maintain.
