n8n e-signature integration
You can use docuinked in n8n today in two ways: the HTTP Request node for fixed workflows, and the MCP Client Tool for AI agents. A verified community node is coming soon.
What works today
| Route | Status |
|---|---|
| HTTP Request node | Works now, on n8n Cloud and self-hosted |
| MCP Client Tool | Works now. Connect it with a Bearer credential |
| Webhook node as a trigger | Works now |
| docuinked community node | Coming soon |
Recipe: send a contract when a row is approved
Add an HTTP Request node after your trigger.
- Method:
POST - URL:
https://docuinked.com/v1/documents - Authentication: Generic, Header Auth, with
Authorizationset toBearer di_test_... - Header:
Idempotency-Keyset to an expression such ascontract-{{ $json.id }} - Body: JSON
{"title": "Services agreement",
"pdf_url": "https://example.com/contract.pdf",
"signers": [{"name": "Dana Reed", "email": "dana@example.com"}],
"send": true}
Recipe: an AI Agent that prepares drafts
Add the MCP Client Tool to your AI Agent node. Set the endpoint to https://docuinked.com/mcp, and use Bearer auth with your key. The agent can then create drafts and read status. On a live key it can only ask to send. A person approves from the approval_url, so n8n needs no approval step of its own.
Hear back when it is signed
Add a Webhook node and copy its production URL. Register it with create_webhook. Then check the signature in a Code node before you act on it. The webhooks page has the code. Some n8n setups limit built-in modules in Code nodes, so check that crypto is allowed.
Common questions
Is there a docuinked node in the n8n nodes panel?
Not yet. A verified node is coming soon. The HTTP Request node and MCP Client Tool do the same work today.
Will my n8n agent be able to send without a person?
Not over MCP. Every MCP caller counts as an agent, so a live send stops at approval. That covers the case where an agent runs on a schedule and no one is watching.
What happens if n8n retries a failed node?
Set the Idempotency-Key from a stable value in the item. A retry with the same key returns the first result, so the contract goes out once.
