eVault & eOriginal Integration Overview
The eVault & eOriginal integration allows Proof customers with an active eOriginal account to securely store notarized documents and eNotes in a tamper-proof electronic vault that permanently seals documents and signatures to create an unalterable audit trail, with setup guides available for business and real estate transactions and support offered through Proof's app.
Business API quick start guide – Proof Help Center
The Business API quick start guide for Proof explains that eligible organizations can use the RESTful Proof Business API to send documents, create transactions, connect signers for notarization or eSignature workflows, monitor transaction status via webhooks, and retrieve completed documents, while emphasizing secure handling of API keys and OAuth credentials, providing links to detailed API references and instructions for generating API keys within a Proof account.
Create an OAuth Client Application – Proof Help Center
The Proof Help Center guide explains that organization owners, admins, or users with API management permissions can create OAuth client applications—a paid feature enabled by Proof—to securely connect external systems to Proof accounts using token-based authorization instead of passwords, with each client application having a unique App ID, multiple one-time-viewable App secrets, full API key scope, and tokens that expire every two hours, recommending separate clients for different environments and emphasizing secure storage of secrets.
Delete an OAuth Client Application or Secret – Proof Help Center
The Proof Help Center guide explains that only organization owners or admins can immediately delete an OAuth client application or revoke a client secret—actions that disable authentication for all integrations using those credentials—and recommends rotating secrets instead of deleting active applications, providing step-by-step instructions and warnings about the irreversible impact on connected systems.
Implementation Service Description
The Implementation Service provides Proof Subscribers with a time- and materials-based, remote consulting engagement during business hours to assist with architecting, planning, and integrating the Proof Platform via API for an embedded product experience, including discovery sessions with stakeholders to align business objectives and technical requirements, governed by Proof's General Terms and detailed in the Order Form.
Create and Share Referral Campaigns for Organizations
Referral campaigns in Proof allow organizations to create and share branded, shareable referral links—either via their account or API—that direct customers to Proof's signer upload page, with customizable payment settings (signer pays or organization pays), and transactions completed through these links are independent of the organization's account unless created via API with a redirect to the organization's EasyLink.
