About this plugin
dev brings e-signature to any WordPress site: send a contract, waiver, or agreement for signature from a page, a form submission, or your own custom code, and track its status without leaving wp-admin.
dev for WordPress isn’t tied to one form builder or one workflow. It’s built around a single, universal way to trigger a signature request, so it works with whatever you’re already running.
How it works
- Create your contract or document template in your Firma.dev dashboard (a free account takes a minute to set up).
- For a one-off document to someone with no WordPress record, an outside vendor, a one-off client, use Firma → Send a Document: pick the template, type in who needs to sign, send.
- For a document you’ll send repeatedly to people who already have data in WordPress, customers, form entries, logged-in users, use Firma → Send Setup once to map the template’s fields to that data.
- Drop the [firma_send_signature] shortcode anywhere, or trigger it from any other plugin or custom code with a single WordPress action hook. Every send after that is automatic.
- Track every sent document’s status (Sent, Viewed, Completed, Declined) under Firma → Documents.
Works with anything
Every trigger in this plugin, including the shortcode, funnels through one action hook:
do_action( 'firma_send_document', $mapping_id, $context );
Any other plugin or custom theme code can fire this to send a document for signature. dev isn’t limited to the integrations we’ve built, it works with your specific setup, out of the box.

dev) to send documents for e-signature and track their status. dev account and API key are required for the plugin to function. This is a core, required part of what the plugin does, not an optional add-on.
What is sent, and when:
- When a document is sent (via the shortcode or the firma_send_document action), the plugin sends the signer’s name and email address, plus any WordPress data you’ve chosen to map into template fields, to Firma.dev’s API to create and deliver the signing request.
- Every API request includes your Firma.dev API key for authentication.
- Firma.dev sends status updates (viewed, signed, declined, etc.) back to this site via a webhook you configure, so the plugin does not need to repeatedly poll Firma.dev for status.
