I would like to add a recipient to receive email notifications for when the signers have viewed and signed a document. Back in 2017, I could add a recipient with the CC role and they would receive email notifications (viewed and signed) as the document went through signers. Doesn't seem like this is possible now.

Hello 

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community. 

Currently, the only person who should receive notifications about signers viewing and signing documents they sent out should be de Sender of those envelopes, unfortunately, there isn't a way to set up a recipient separate from the Sender to receive such notifications, Carbon Copy recipient's should only receive a copy and/or completed copy of the document: https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=gav1643676262430&topicId=sbq1631221886588.html&_LANG=enus

I worked at DocuSign from 2012-2019. CC recipients never received notifications about other recipient actions such as viewing or signing. They are a recipient just like the signers and they only get the email notifications when they receive the copy and when the envelope is completed.

Notifications about signer activity like Viewed and Signed are only sent to the Sender of the envelope.

Any consideration to change where others can see status of documents

One thing to note: if the CC recipient has a DocuSign account login, they can see the status of the envelope at any time while it's in process AFTER they received their CC notification. So if you set the signing order with the CC recipients before the signers, those CC recipients get notified first when the envelope is sent. They can then watch the envelope progress via the Manage tab in DocuSign. But they won't get further email notifications until the envelope is completed. I have seen users add the CC recipient multiple times, in between each signer, but that's not an ideal user experience. Regards, 


I agree with​ an initial request. Why shouldn't we be able to decide what cc'd people can see? I am setting up envelopes for signature, but it's not my work. The person I cc on the envelope wants to monitor as people view and sign the doc(s), so they can keep an eye on it. Allowing a person to adjust their cc notifications to see more of the activity makes sense.

This is really something DocuSign should add.
