Envelope expiration settings

  • May 16, 2024

I have a requirement for envelope expiration, 

  • The expiration date for the link is 30 days from the day it was sent to the recipient
  • The signatory will have 120 days to complete the workflow once it has been initiated (i.e once the link has been clicked on)

But I found only this under settings. is there a way to achieve both the requirements?

You can only specify an expiration date, which is X days after the envelope was sent.

It is not possible to have a different date for the link to expire and the transaction to expire. The expiration will always start when the envelope was sent and applies to the whole transaction, regardless of the number of signers that you specified.

Hello, @BGK 

 

You are welcome to the Docusign Community!

 

The Expiration Settings data is for the envelope, it’s mean regardless a signer clicks on a link to envelope or not, the envelope will expire anyway when the expire date arrives. 

 

I think the type of use case you need providing a link for review then expiring it regardless of the envelope expiration date settings can be achieved using Docusign CLM, however that is another product for the entire lifecycle of a contract. 

 

Another approach could be get a Developer who knows REST API then create a code to do what you want.

 

Let me know if I answered your question.

 

Best,

Alexandre

I was looking if there was any kind of settings for these options. I will try to explore options through REST API.
