Starter workflow for creating self-signed PDF agreements. Check out the demo.

PactMaker collects form data and generates a signed PDF agreement between you and your users. Once generated, it emails the PDF using Postmark to your user and team. PactMaker is built with node.js, express, and EJS templating.

POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN=''
POSTMARK_FROM_ADDRESS=''

SIGNEE_EMAIL_SUBJECT=''
TITLE=''

POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN

Server tokens can be found under the credentials tab on your Postmark server.
