E-signature status
The e-signature status is available in the document lists and the document viewer.
Document status
In the document listings, the global status appears, which will vary according to the status of the requested signature(s).
Within the document viewer, you can see the status of each signer:
- Pending: The signer has not yet signed the document.
- Signed: The signer has completed and signed the document.
- Declined: The signer has refused to sign the document. They must provide a reason, which is collected by Signaturit via a text message. The requester will receive an email notification with the reason, and it will also be displayed in the document viewer.
- Bounced Email: The signer's email address may be incorrect or experiencing delivery issues, leading to rejection by the mail server. The e-signature is automatically canceled, and this copy of the document cannot be signed. The requester will receive an email notification about the issue. To resolve it, verify the email address and send a new signature request.
- Canceled: The signature request has been canceled because the document was moved to the trash bin or the signature period expired. Signers will receive a notification email from Signaturit.
- Error: The signature request failed. Ensure the file is not write-protected, has pages, is not damaged or encrypted, and does not exceed the size limit of 15 MB. Try again with a valid document.
E-Signature Notifications
The employee will receive:
- A notification via email
- A Pending Task on the dashboard
The Admin will receive:
- A notification via email once the document has been signed
