Step by Step - Bulk Send Documents

Bulk sending for e-signatures streamlines the process of providing a single document to numerous recipients for signing, enhancing efficiency in document management. The recipients receive the document individually, sign it, and return the signed copies electronically, optimizing workflows and minimizing paperwork.

After uploading you will be taken through the usual e-signing process. Each recipient in the bulk list will receive their own document to sign. For example, if you import a bulk list to eSign with 45 recipients, 45 separate documents are generated and sent from your account for signing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a maximum file size or a maximum number of recipients for an envelope?

You can use bulk send for up to 100 recipients at a time. For anything over 100, there is a risk of the email being delivered as spam. For example, if you have 163 recipients, we recommend doing this in 2 batches of 100 and then 63.

Can I recall a bulk send document?

No. Once a document through bulk send has been sent it cannot be recalled. We recommend testing the feature beforehand to a small group of test recipients using the intended document to reduce risk of error.
