Question

No warning when recipeint email is invalid or bounces

Hello - I remember years ago I would get a warning from DocuSign if an envelope was sent to a recipient and their email address was invalid or bounced for one reason or another.  I am no longer getting those warning notifications/email warnings and I can’t find the setting to see if it’s something that got inadvertently turned off or not. 

I need to know if I send an envelope that one of the receipents is not getting the document so I can fix the email address, but I can’t seem to figure out why I am no longer getting the warnings and how to fix it so that I do. Can someone please point me in the direction to fix this? 

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi ​@voconnor28  — thanks for raising this.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience, and thank you for taking the time to share it. I completely understand how frustrating it is when things don’t work as expected, especially when trying to get work done.

Let’s tackle a few of the issues you raised:

  • You want to be notified of unused/invalid/defunct addresses. 

To further check it on our end, may I have the envelope ID, please?

Again, I’m sorry your experience hasn’t met expectations so far. I’d love the chance to help turn it around, and the Community is here to support you.

@Ma.Cubio - I resolved the envelope that started this post, however, I just came across another one with the same issue. See Envelope ID: f246c47f-bad7-4ed7-bf94-eb57c205162c

One of the recipients is no longer with the company and the email should have bounced but DocuSign doesn’t give me warning when the envelope didn’t reach the recipient. Again, I only realized there was an issue when I tried to send a direct reminder to the recipient via email and Outlook sent me the error that the address is no longer valid. I will correct the envelope once I obtain a different valid email address. 

Thank you so much for looking into this!

Hello ​@voconnor28,

Apologies if the issue is still unresolved. I just wanted to check: May you send me the email address of the person who is no longer with your company via DM?
