To my knowledge, this is not possible--mainly for legal reasons, I’d imagine. DocuSign probably doesn’t want someone prepping the envelopes for a company rep to be able to send out pre-signed agreements because the prepper could be putting the representative and the company on the hook for unknown liabilities.
Hi Drewcifer,
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! I had a feeling this wouldn’t be possible, for the reasoning you mentioned above. Do you happen to have any docs supporting this? It’d be handy for me to reference in the future :) Thanks again!
I can’t think of any, sorry. To be clear, I don’t work for DocuSign. I’m just a user sharing info with other users.
For your situation, you could maybe do a work-around by including an image of a signature or maybe the person’s face and signature. Something that makes it personal, but not legally binding.
If you have a small number of these to do, then you could theoretically set your rep as Recipient 1, and some placeholder email for Recipient 2. Send a dozen of these to your rep, have them sign off on them. Then you “correct” the envelope to update the email for Recipient 2 to be whomever it is you want to send it to. That way you’d have signed blank envelopes in a round-about way.
