Why pay $30/month per user for e-signature SaaS platforms when you can build a lightweight, secure document signing workflow using Google Apps Script, Drive Webhooks, and cryptographic SHA-256 verification?


🔑 The Architecture

  1. Document Injection: PDF uploaded to a secure Google Drive folder.
  2. Webhook Trigger: Google Apps Script catches the upload event, generates a unique time-stamped signature token, and emails the signer.
  3. Verification: Signer approves via a lightweight web app interface; the script appends a cryptographic hash audit trail to the PDF metadata.

Zero monthly subscription fees, total privacy control, and 100% automated workflows. 📜
