Manually Send Envelopes to Subsequent Signers

For each envelope I send, once I get a client signature I need an Executive on my team to sign. However, I don’t like to have the DocuSign automatically routed to the Executive. We need to ensure it gets sent at the right time so it gets viewed immediately. The current workaround is that in between the client and the Executive, the document requires my initials, that way I receive the document and can send it off when I need. However, my question is if there is a formal way to do this? Is it possible to adjust a setting so that I can manually send the envelope to a second or third signatory without having it routed automatically?

 

Thanks!

Hi rbfrieds!
 

Your question is interesting, as customers generally prefer to automate these activities, avoiding that someone necessarily needs to approve for the envelope to proceed.


However, based on your needs, there are some ways you can do this, such as:

  1. You are part of the flow in order 2 (after the client and before your director) and assign some action to yourself. One of the suggestions would be to use the "approve" tab, without the need to insert your signature or initials in the document. If this option is not available, contact your administrator and ask them to activate under “Sender Settings”.
  2. You are part of the flow in order 2 and assign yourself as a recipient role "Update Recipient". And as soon as you need your director to receive it, you simply click confirm.

Thanks Vinicius! This is so helpful. 

 

I was messing around with it and for option 2, how do I get it to not send to the VP until I confirm it? When I was testing it, the envelope got sent directly to that person without me needing to confirm anything.

 

Best,
