Challenge
Willdan Energy Solutions needed a more efficient way to collect legally binding signatures within HubSpot while maintaining a seamless customer experience and centralized CRM data management.
Their team relied on HubSpot forms to capture customer information, but standard form functionality created limitations around collecting signatures, generating compliant documentation, and surfacing completed submission data inside HubSpot records and deal pipelines. Additionally, Willdan needed a process that could support reporting, exports, and operational visibility without relying on disconnected third-party systems.
The challenge became even more complex because the implementation required:
- E-signature functionality embedded directly into HubSpot forms
- Automated PDF generation including signatures and form responses
- Automatic attachment of signed documents to CRM records
- Synchronization of submission data from contacts to deals
- Visibility into completed form data directly inside the CRM
- Compatibility with HubSpot’s evolving form infrastructure
Willdan wanted a scalable solution that would preserve their investment in HubSpot while minimizing dependency on external e-signature platforms.
Solution
No Bounds Digital designed and implemented a custom HubSpot-native e-signature workflow tailored specifically to Willdan’s operational requirements.
The project included the enhancement of two client-provided HubSpot forms with embedded e-signature functionality, enabling users to complete and sign forms directly within the HubSpot experience.
To support downstream operations and compliance workflows, No Bounds Digital developed an automated process that:
- Captured completed form responses and signatures
- Generated a finalized PDF document for each submission
- Automatically attached the signed PDF to the appropriate HubSpot contact record
- Synced submitted property values from the contact record to newly created deals using enhanced workflow automation
To improve visibility for internal teams, No Bounds Digital also configured:
- Dedicated property group displays within HubSpot deal records
- CRM visibility enhancements for viewing form submission details
- Filtered deal views for simplified exporting and operational reporting
Because HubSpot’s newer multi-step forms presented technical limitations related to e-signature support, No Bounds Digital engineered a flexible fallback strategy using HubSpot’s legacy form builder to ensure the required functionality could still be delivered without sacrificing user experience.
Throughout the engagement, No Bounds Digital collaborated closely with the Willdan team to evaluate scalability, reporting requirements, export workflows, and long-term operational efficiency.
Results
The completed solution gave Willdan a centralized and automated e-signature process fully integrated within HubSpot.
Key outcomes included:
- Reduced manual administrative work associated with collecting and storing signed forms
- Automated generation and organization of signed PDF records inside HubSpot
- Improved visibility into customer submissions directly from deal records
- Elimination of fragmented workflows between forms, signatures, and CRM data
- Faster access to completed documentation for internal teams
- A scalable framework for future e-signature implementations across additional forms
By leveraging HubSpot-native automation instead of relying entirely on external platforms, Willdan gained greater operational control while preserving a streamlined user experience for both customers and internal stakeholders.
Conclusion
No Bounds Digital helped Willdan transform a manual, fragmented signature collection process into a streamlined HubSpot-native workflow that connected forms, signatures, documents, and CRM data into a single operational system.
