Joseph here, cofounder of HelloSign. Another integration we have that's unique to HelloSign is the ability to sign documents directly in Gmail. It’s one of my favorite integrations we’ve built: https://www.hellosign.com/gmail https://www.hellosign.com/gmail

It's my favorite too! Unfortunately it's broken in Gmail's latest UI update :/

  Appreciate it Nathan! Gmail pushed out a new UI and we had to hustle to accommodate the new changes. Since they don’t have an official API that would let us add the ‘sign’ button, we have to move fast when they update the UI. Any change can trigger an all nighter for us. So, there was a brief gap between their new UI and our update to fix it. Sorry about that! Either way, the UI issue should be resolved. Please email support at hellosign dot com if you see any issues.

Thanks Joseph. This made me interested in giving it a try (I sent about 1 - 3 docs for signature each week), but this stopped me in my tracks: "Add HelloSign to Gmail? It can: - Access your data on all websites - Access your tabs and browsing activity" I'll give the regular HelloSign a try, but no way would I add an extension with those permissions.

  Chrome Exstension permission names are incredible broad and not very granular - and there's nothing that extension devs can do about it: https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/186213?hl=en https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/186213?hl=... For example, want to access the DOM from your extension? You'll trigger a 'Your Data on all websites' warning, whatever it is you're actually doing: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/8550/why-do-chrome-extensions-need-access-to-all-my-data-and-browsing-activity http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/8550/why-do-chro...
