    About

    Understanding Blueink eSignatures.

    BlueInk sends documents for signature via email or SMS, with a claimed 94% open rate within 9 minutes for SMS — a 45% response increase compared to email alone. Integration with Google Drive and Salesforce is direct.

    The real weak point: signer "identity verification" doesn't actually verify anything — any photo can be uploaded. The tool also doesn't notify when all signatures are obtained, requiring manual checking.

    Practical uses

    • Have clients sign contracts quickly via SMS.
    • Replace DocuSign to reduce costs.
    • Get in-person signatures on job sites or meetings.
