I typically send documents for signature to 2 or 3 people.

I *really* want the feature where I can get notified as each one signs, not just waiting for the end document to be complete.

Also, it would be nice to be notified every time they open/view it, not just the first time.

But, I really need to know when each person has signed it.

Please add that feature. That is, I believe, what the first person was asking about.

It would also be great to receive a reminder that “You’re the next to sign”, namely, another notification to remind each person who is holding it up.

I’m very surprised and quite disappointed that Docusign does not tell me when a recipient has completed their action. Why not? It’s in the name of the Company! DocuSIGN!!!! Why do I get notification when they view but not when they actually sign? Obviously the technology is there because we get notified that they’re viewed. And then we get notified that the document is complete. Why not merge those two features and tell us when the Recipient has completed their task of it is a signature???? 

I’m surprised this is marked as “solved” because it definitely is not. 

Like other commenters here, I am the one who sends the Docusign out for signature to other individuals. In my case, I typically send to the potential new client and our CEO. I don’t get any notification until they BOTH sign, which is ridiculous. I need to know what activity someone is taking so I can easily follow up on where the contract stands and on whom I am waiting.

I have created an idea for that, please up vote: 

I am genuinely shocked that DocuSign, the industry leader in digital document signing, lacks such a basic and essential feature. Not receiving a notification when a recipient signs — only after all parties have signed — is a major oversight. This is not a nice-to-have, it is a fundamental part of document workflows. It is incredibly frustrating and disappointing that something so critical is missing from a platform of this scale and reputation. I would expect far better from DocuSign.
