Is it possible to customize the document name format (e.g., Last Name, First Name – Document Name – Date) when using DocuSign’s Bulk Send feature, instead of relying on the default or random file naming?

This is a key requirement when handling hundreds of signed PDFs, as it would eliminate the need to manually rename each file individually after receipt.

Do you mean the file name that you download from envelope which is completed can customize?

Hi ​@Bristi,

Thanks for posting your question!

I understand you're looking for the ability to automatically personalize file names when using bulk send. Currently, this specific feature is not available, we apologize. We know this might be a limitation for your needs, and we encourage you to consider submitting this as a suggestion on our Ideas board 👉 Submit a feature requestThat’s where ideas from Docusign users like you can submit ideas to improve Docusign’s features, and where you can also vote on ideas from other members.

I found a similar request where you can show your support by voting and adding a comment to expand the request: Custom File Naming Format for Downloaded Documents | Community

However, you may consider this potential workaround using the email subject line:

First, customize the email subject and title for each envelope generated. Add merge fields and envelope custom fields (ECF) to include recipient data in the email subject.

Example: Use the recipient role and merge fields to automatically insert the recipient's name or other details into the message subject. 

Here are the articles:

Custom Fields for Envelopes

When downloading the completed envelope as a single file (Combine all PDFs into a single file), the filename of the PDF will match the envelope's email subject. However, if you download the envelope as separate PDFs (through a .ZIP file), the filename will default to the original PDF name, which cannot be automatically modified.

I hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have questions or if anything comes up. We're here for you!
