I’m trying to send out a document for signatures, which I’ve done a number of times, but it’s now showing that a fax number is required for each of the signers.  (Even though the fax box is greyed out, and it won’t let me enter anything into the fax number field, so there’s no way for me to send the document.) How do I fix this so it’s not a required field?

@Shannon - Under Sending Settings, do you think this setting might have been enabled? 

 

Hello,

We are also having the same issue.  All of a sudden our DocuSigns are requiring a fax.  We have unchecked the “fax” box in settings but that has not fixed the issue.  Trying to figure out how to get around this requirement for a fax number.

Hi @Shannon and @Sarah M,

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

I would like to confirm if you need further assistance, feel free to let me know and I will gladly help you address the situation as soon as possible.

 

Best regards,

I’ve been using DocuSign for more than a decade and today is the first day this fax number glitch has occurred. It is asking or a fax number for each receipient and yet the box is greyed out so I couldn’t provide one even if my customers had a fax, which they don’t.  How can I get this fixed?  I contacted support and they essentially didn’t read the question and asked for a fax number.  Help.  

Hello ​@SEFLRealtor,

Thanks for reaching out to the Docusign Community—it's great to have you here! I am sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue.

  • Could you please let us know if this is happening with all the envelopes you’ve sent?
  • If possible, could you share a screenshot of what it looks like from the recipient’s side?
  • Additionally, providing the envelope ID and case number would help us investigate the issue more thoroughly.

Looking forward to your response.

I’ve been a DocuSign account holder for 10+ years and had never had any issues sending documents for signing. This time I uploaded a pdf contract for signatures and when designating the signers everything worked until I tried to go to the next page to insert the tabs for initials and signatures. A “fax” field popped up under each signer’s email and it was mandatory to fill it out however, the field itself was grayed out. Plus these consumers don’t have faxes.  I contacted support. We were finally able to align our schedules and support suggested it is possibly a document issue so she had me load it into the template section instead of the normal home page area. That seems to have solved the issue. So thank you support for getting this solved today. 

Hi again, ​@SEFLRealtor !

That’s great to hear—glad things are working now. If anything else comes up or you hit another roadblock, don’t hesitate to reach out here in the Community.

Wishing you a smooth rest of your day!
