# Role-Based Signing: Automate Who Signs When Complex documents don't go to one person. They go through an approval chain: the manager reviews, then legal vets, then finance checks, then the external party signs. Coordinating this manually is a logistical nightmare. DocSignerHub's Role-Based & Sequential Signing automates the entire chain. ## What Happens Automatically 1. Internal approver gets the document first to approve or reject 2. Once approved, legal reviewer receives it for review 3. After legal signs off, the external signer gets the signing link 4. If anyone rejects, the sender is notified and the workflow pauses — not cancels ## Automation Benefits **No manual forwarding** — Each person gets notified exactly when it's their turn. **Deadline enforcement** — Each role can have its own deadline. **Replacement without resend** — If a signer is unavailable, reassign their role — no need to recreate the envelope. **Audit trail** — Complete timeline of who acted and when. Role-based signing turns a multi-person coordination problem into a linear, automated pipeline. DocSignerHub handles the routing. Your team handles the decisions.
