# forms.requestSignOff

Ask for a signature on a submitted form and get the signing link (owner or office). The signer (the customer by default, or a shop member) signs the stored PDF exactly as submitted.

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `POST /v1/forms/sign-off` |
| MCP tool | `forms_requestSignOff` |
| Writes | yes, send an Idempotency-Key |
| Area | [Field work (checklists, forms, time, notes, change orders, subcontractors)](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#field-work-checklists-forms-time-notes-change-orders-subcontractors) |

## When to use it

Keep form templates (forms.saveTemplate: ordered fields of type heading, text, long_text, number, yes_no, choice, multi_choice, date or photos, each optionally required). Start a form on a job or one visit (forms.start) from a template, from an earlier form (copy_from_form_id, which also carries its answers), or with fields given on the spot; the form keeps its own copy of the fields.

## What to tell the owner

Say what you did in plain words and what happens next.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `form_id` | string (uuid) | yes |
| `signer_role` | string (one of customer, member) | no |
| `signer_email` | string | no |
| `link_days` | integer | no |

## Example

```http
POST https://doingwork.work/v1/forms/sign-off
content-type: application/json
Idempotency-Key: 3f1c...

{
  "form_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000"
}
```
