"Marked complete" in Trainual isn't a signature.
When an SOP, safety policy, or code of conduct needs a real acknowledgment on file, hand that step to Docracy.
Where this fits
- Trainual's completion tracking shows an employee viewed and clicked through a topic, not that they signed anything
- Some SOPs — safety procedures, confidentiality terms, disciplinary policies — need a dated signature for compliance or a personnel file, not just a completion percentage
- There's no built-in way to turn a finished Trainual course into a signed PDF a manager can attach to an employee record
- Small businesses running onboarding through Trainual often still chase down paper or emailed acknowledgment forms separately
Who uses this
- Teams running on Trainual
- Or anything similar — the signing step works the same regardless of which one you use
Why Docracy
Docracy isn't a Trainual integration — it's the signing step you hand off to once a course or SOP is marked complete. Save the policy or SOP acknowledgment as a reusable template, then send the link to the new hire (or the whole onboarding cohort at once) right after they finish the Trainual topic. They sign from the link with no account of their own, and you get a timestamped record — sender, signer, and signature — to keep alongside the Trainual completion log.
Acknowledgment templates
Save a policy or SOP acknowledgment once, reuse it for every new hire.
Send right after completion
Share the signing link as the last step once a Trainual topic is marked done.
No account for the signer
New hires and existing staff just open a link and sign.
Timestamped audit trail
A dated signature record to keep alongside the Trainual completion log.
There's no native Trainual app, plugin, or API integration — this is a manual or Zapier-automated hand-off, not an embedded signing step inside Trainual itself. Docracy also has no education- or training-specific features: no gradebook sync, no LMS-style completion tracking, and no school or org SSO. It's a general-purpose e-signature tool that fits well after Trainual, not a Trainual add-on.
Templates for this

Frequently asked questions
Do the people I send documents to need a Docracy account?
No — only the sender needs an account, so document history, saved templates, and team access have somewhere to live. Whoever's signing opens a link and signs, no signup required.
Which documents can I send?
Ready-made templates for this include Employee Onboarding Agreement, Code of Conduct Acknowledgment, Acceptable Use Policy Acknowledgment. You can also upload your own PDF.
How much does it cost?
Free for documents with up to 2 signers. Beyond that it's a flat $10/month — never priced per seat — which also unlocks reusable templates, team accounts, and the integrations mentioned above.
How fast can someone actually sign?
Under a minute in most cases: they open the link, review the document, and sign — no account to create, no app to install. WhatsApp delivery adds a phone-bound PIN step for extra assurance when that matters.
