Has anyone else had people complain about email subject lines coming from your Docusign account with this as the Subject line?
Do you recognize this document?

My clients are pushing back, not signing, and slowing down the legal approval process.  They fear that it is spam, even when being sent by Docusign.

Then, when the document is signed and sent back to myself for signature it has the same Subject line.  It is like Docusign itself is sending emails that feel like Phishing emails to end users and customers alike.

Hi ​@Bryan.H,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Docusign Community and for reporting this to us promptly. We understand how concerning it can be when an envelope is flagged unexpectedly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and I’m happy to help. 

 

Docusign security system automatically monitors and assesses envelope activity to help identify potential risks, such as spam, phishing, fraud, or unusual account behavior. The system looks at various activity patterns, including account usage and recipient information, to determine whether an envelope may require additional security review. This automated process is designed to help ensure that envelopes being sent through Docusign originate from legitimate sources and to protect both senders and recipients from potentially fraudulent activity.

 

When an envelope is flagged, it does not necessarily mean that fraudulent activity has occurred. it means that the system has identified activity that may require further assessment based on the security criteria. 

 

I hope the information provided clarifies. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.

 

Best regards,

Thanks @Noralynn.Niduaza. Knowing what activity specifically triggered this activity is important. If it continues, I’d be better off reverting to emailing PDFs for signature.  We have used Docusign for many years to boost credibility and trust, but this recent activity has eroded our ability to secure contracts.
