Send as (form-data)

  • state string - (e.g. "CA") Get compliance disclaimers pushed to your CRM (add custom field)
  • salesperson string - (e.g. "John Doe") Smart QR code - embed who was given access
  • processor string - (e.g. "John Doe") Smart QR code - embed who was given access
  • lender string - (e.g. "John Doe") Smart QR code - embed who was given access

Note

You can use one, two, or all three optional inputs — it's flexible, including not using them at all.

When using the lender parameter, create separate versions for each lender to ensure traceability. Most brokers delete these watermarked versions after submission. This can be automated using tools like Apex Scheduler (Salesforce), Zapier, Make, and others.

It's a small extra step with a major advantage.

These are not required, watermarking alone is a powerful deterrent against document misuse.
