Add a Counterparty Form

This topic will walk you through how to add a counterparty form to your workflow.

You can use counterparty forms to send a request to your counterparty to fill out specific details for the contract such as their legal entity name, company address, and/or signer information.  To learn more about the different types of forms in Workflow Designer, refer to Form Types in Workflow Designer.

Note: Any internal participant in a workflow can complete all additional forms (including counterparty forms) in Ironclad at any time by clicking the View Form button.
