OneSpan Actions

❗️

Contact your sales representative if you are interested in obtaining a license for the OneSpan Module for your SmartIQ environment.

SmartIQ integrates with OneSpan Sign to provide the option of electronically signing documents for end to end digital transactions.

OneSpan Create Package Action

OneSpan Create Package Action supports sending OneSpan packages with multiple documents for one or more users to sign. This action also provides the ability to specify the order of signage. For example, the Manager (1) signs then the Executive (2) signs and then the CEO (3), etc.

The packages can be sent via "Draft or Sent" mode, with the ability to require signatures via either:

  • Positional Placement – Add a signature input using a page number as well as left and top co-ordinates on where the signature will be placed. For example, page 2, left 100, top 200. For more information, refer to this article.

  • Text Anchors – Add a signature input using an instance of an anchor keyword. For example, Add a signature after the text "Please sign here". For more information, refer to this article.

  • Text Tags – A OneSpan convention to populate the document with signature inputs using the convention {{esl:roleName:fieldType}}. For more information, refer to this article.

  • Accept Only – No specific signature input needed on the document but the user needs to click the "Accept" button to accept the whole document.

Authenticating Signers

Verify the identity of signers to add an extra layer of security to your online transactions. With the OneSpan Connector, there are several ways of verifying the identity of a package recipient before they are permitted to access the transaction's documents. These are:

  • Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) – This option relies on a third-party KBA provider to verify a recipient's identity by asking them a series of questions about their personal credit report. That provider is either Equifax US or Equifax Canada.
    KBA should be considered when it's important to reduce the risk of identity fraud, or when a signer is unknown (for example, opening a new account).
    For more information, refer to OneSpan Advanced Functionalities

📘

Prerequisite

To be able to use this feature, Equifax US and/or Equifax Canada should be enabled on your OneSpan account. If not, contact your OneSpan Support Team.

  • SMS Authentication – OneSpan utilizes the given phone number to send the signer a single-use code through SMS when they access the package.
  • General Authentication – Involves providing a series of question-and-answer values, which the signer has to answer when accessing the package. The mask input provides the option to hide or show the user's input (similar to passwords).

🚧

Important

It is possible to use Equifax KBA with either SMS Authentication or General Authentication, but it is NOT possible to use both SMS Authentication and General Authentication simultaneously.

InputDescription
Package The following inputs are required to send a OneSpan package:
- Name (Required)
- Mode (Required)
- Default Signing Method
- Sender email

They are detailed below.
- Mode (Required)There are two values available:
- DRAFT – Keeps the package in draft mode to enable further editing via the OneSpan web interface before sending.
- SENT – Sends the package directly to the signers.
- Name (Required)Package name
- Default Signing MethodUse if you do not explicitly specify signatures within documents as inputs.
The action will default to ACCEPT_ONLY if there are no signatures specified within the documents as well as no default signing method defined.
The are two values available:
- ACCEPT_ONLY – A signer only needs to click the Accept button without the need for a signature.
- TEXT_TAGS – Any documents without signatures will use the text tags extraction method and expect at least one signature text tag within the document. For example, {{esl:Signer1:Signature}} or {{esl:Signer1:Initials}}.
- Sender EmailThe email address of the OneSpan Sender account that the recipients will see as the sender of the emails. If left blank, the sender will default to the owner account.
Carbon-Copy RecipientA carbon-copy recipient (also known as a CC recipient) is someone who receives a copy of a completed and signed document without being an active participant in the signing process. This is often used in situations where someone needs to be kept in the loop about the signing process but does not need to sign the document themselves.

The following inputs are required to receive a copy of the completed and signed document:

- First Name
- Last Name
- Email

If these inputs are specified, a recipient or group of recipients will be created wherein:

- They are not required to sign or accept the documents.
- They are placed at the end of the recipient order after all other defined recipients.
- They will receive the completed documents like the other signer(s).

Once the document package is complete, all recipients will receive an email. However, because of a limitation in OneSpan, the carbon-copy recipient will also receive an additional an email inviting them to sign the documents.
Reminders Set package reminders for the users to sign if they haven't. Reminders are optional. If configuring Reminders, OneSpan needs all Action Inputs to be provided. If an Action Input is not provided, the default value will be sent to OneSpan.
- Send Reminder in x daysWaits a certain amount of days before sending the first reminder. Defaults to 1.
- Repeat Reminder x timesNumber of times the reminder will be repeated after the initial reminder. Defaults to 0 with a maximum of 5.
- Repeat Reminder every x daysFrequency of the reminders. Defaults to 1.
Signer
(At least one signer required)
Each signer is required to provide the following:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email
Note: Repeat Type and value option will only be available if a repeating section is used.
- Challenge Authentication questionsProvide a series of question-and-answer values, which the signer will have to answer when accessing the package.

(Optional) The mask input provides the option to hide or show the user's input (similar to passwords).
- Signer IdUse if there is a text-tag document with specific roles defined. Otherwise, leave this option blank and the signers will be created as Signer1, Signer2, Signer3,...
- Signing OrderUse if the signing ceremony has be done in sequential order. For example, if the signing order has been set as Signer1=1 and Signer2=2,
Signer1 signs first and Signer2 will only receive the notification to sign after Signer 1 has finished.

If the signing order has been set as Signer1=1, Signer2=1 and Signer3=2, Signer3 will only receive the notification to sign after Signer1 and Signer 2 have finished.
- Email MessageUse to add more content to the message that gets sent with the email.
- Email Signed DocumentsIf true, will email the signed documents as an attachment after the signing ceremony have completed. If false or not specified, will email the signer with a link to view or download the documents.
- Enable ReassignIf true, will set a permission on the Package enabling additional features within OneSpan to delegate/reassign a signing task to another OneSpan user
Document Use only if there is a need to define specific signatures.
If the Default signing method of Accept Only is used, this option does not need to be configured.
- Document Signing MethodUsed if you don't explicitly specify signatures within this document and have specified text tags in the document or just want to offer the signer the ACCEPTONLY option for this document.

Use if you do not explicitly specify signatures within this document as inputs.
