This is my first time setting up roles to use the templates from the app. I absolutely am putting in the email address correctly. Any ideas?

Hello ​@tbmtbm
Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! We appreciate your question and assure you that we are fully committed to providing you with the best service possible. 

The error you encountered is typically not related to the email address. It usually means one of the recipient roles in the template is missing a valid Role Name, or the role name doesn't match when the template is used.
Please verify the following:

  •  Every recipient in the template has a Role Name (it cannot be blank).
  •  The Role Name matches exactly when assigning recipients (if using the API or a sending integration).
  •  There are no unused or incomplete recipient roles in the template.

Hi - I’m doing it from the mobile app directly. Both roles have a name. And there are no unused roles in the template. 
 

I’m not sure what else it could be?
