I have a client that would like to send out batches of contracts for signatures (hundreds at a time). They would also like to use email for the recipients to log into docusign and sign. Only problem is that many of the recipients on these docs are the same couple of people, and thus, would end up with a flooded inbox after every contract batch.
Does DocuSign have a different email correspondence option? Maybe one that would send out 1 email if recipients have documents they need to take action on? This would be something that we need to control when creating and sending the envelopes because many of these users would be logging in for the first time when they sign their first document, and probably wouldn't know how to configure their settings appropriately.
Whenever an envelope is sent, the recipient will receive an email notification from Docusign. Sender will not be able to disable these notifications to the recipient.
Recipients can control the notifications they receive using the Manage Notifications page

I am trying to get the status of envelope (document) email notification delivered to signer. If the notification was delivered successfully or not.
I am using Create And Send Envelope to sent document to DocuSing.
There are two things you can check for:
Bounce email, that is a indication that the email bounced.
Envelope was opened. That is an indication that an email did not bounce.
There's no way to know for sure an email was not bounced if it was not opened by the user. So there's no way to really know for each envelope until such time that it didn't bounce (99% of bounce happen within seconds but sometimes it can take much longer)
The status is AutoResponded
The best approach to use this information is using the DocuSign connect webhook, and not using polling. So you get events to your service, you don't make API calls.
We have ASP.ET MVC Web application. We are using Docusign SDK For C#.
We are planning to go Live with DocuSign Integration and We looked at DocuSign limits (specially 15 minutes get request limit).
We need an advice on how to avoid violation in Envelop Correction scenario. Steps are as given below.
Get status of envelop
Get recipients of envelop and show it user in the GUI
User updates email in the GUI and submits form
On backend we Get recipients again with all tabs and custom fields, Update email address
Call Update recipients method
You see on number 4. It is 15 minutes violation. How to handle this scenario?
We don't want to create Whole mechanism for Saving/Caching DocuSign Recipients data and statuses. As those statuses can change from DocuSign or some of the recipient can decline or void envelop. We want to fetch latest recipient data to update on the time of execution.
I agree with Inbar that you could store the results of the first get_recipients call. You could either store it in the user's session state (server side) or send it all to the browser and then have the browser return it.
I'd go with session state
Saving data in the session state isn't a big deal.
Re:
As those statuses can change from DocuSign or some of the recipient can decline or void envelope.
So you're worried that while the application user is updating an email address, the envelope will be declined by a recipient?
In that case you could lock the envelope while your user is updating it. Or you could not send the envelope until after the user has updated it. Or if you get an error while updating the recipients, that would be the time to do the extra recipients_get.
I am using Remote Signing with the DocuSign api, but I want to know how to determine what action the recipient took (i.e. they signed, declined to sign, viewed, etc). How do I do this?
You want the status of the envelopes you sent?
Best technique is to create a webhook and have DocuSign call your server when the envelope's status changes.
You can create DocuSign notification message subscriptions at either the account level or at the individual envelope level.
See this blog entry for more info. Ask additional questions on StackOverflow if you have any difficulties.
I am using the embedded signing feature of DocuSign and I have integrated my application with DocuSign. I am using the SOBO functionality to create envelopes.
I am able to generate the URL and able to send it also. User also getting the envelope but when I login to my DocuSign account, I don't see the entries in sent items.
Please help me to understand what can be the issue here.If we leverage the SOBO functionality why can't we see the entries in Sent items?
If the signer is receiving the envelope, then you're sending it correctly.
In that case, if you're using SOBO, then the user that you're sending the envelope for should see it in her Sent items list, not in yours.
Eg, "System account 01" is an authorized SOBO user. It sends an envelope on behalf of Susan. Susan should see the envelope in her sent items list. And Susan should receive email notifications when the signer signs the documents, when the envelope is completed, etc.
I'm trying to do Embedded Signing and I want to send the email to the Signers myself instead of having DocuSign send it.
I've found this post:
Docusign email notification for embedded signing case
That describes two parameters. I have not been able to find the second one (Use Envelope Complete Email for (non-suppressed) Embedded Signers) in my testing account.
Is this option no longer available? Is there any other way to achieve the same result?
For embedded signers DocuSign will never send an email letting the signer know they have a document awaiting signature. The two emails that are sent can either be Signature Notification and/or Completion email. Signature Notification is sent to the signer immediately after signing, while Completion emails are sent all at once only at the end when the last signer completes the envelope.
The options are both still available in the classic UI under Preferences --> Features.
Update
If you are using the New DocuSign Experience then follow the instructions here
See the Document delivery section.
