December 17, 2025

Overview

The Text Input element allows users to enter text into a document using the GetAccept Editor. It is used to collect written input from senders or recipients, such as names, comments, or other required information.

The Text Input element is available wherever engagement fields are supported in the editor.

What you can do with the Text Input element

With the Text Input element, you can:

• Collect text input from senders or recipients
• Add labels and optional help text
• Assign fields to specific users or roles
• Mark fields as required
• Add multiple text input fields
• Reorder and resize fields
• Prefill fields using merge tags or CRM data

Assigning ownership

Text input fields can be assigned to:

• The sender
• A specific recipient role

Only the assigned user can fill in the field.

Required fields and validation

Text input fields can be marked as required.

When required, the assigned user must complete the field before the document can progress.

Using merge tags and CRM data

Merge tags can be used to automatically populate text input fields.

You can use standard merge tags from GetAccept or create custom merge tags to pull data from CRM integrations.

Managing text input fields

Text input fields can be resized, reordered, locked, or deleted as your document changes.
