My signer - I’ve sent to 2 people - isn’t receiving anything? But it shows in docusign it’s been sent and it’s “waiting”

@APatey First I would suggest to select “Resend” on the envelope after verifying the email address is correctly spelled and valid.  Next I would check with the Recipient to see if they have a DocuSign Account and perhaps turned off notifications as well as having them review Junk/Spam or any other rules in their email that could reject or move email notifications.  Below is a link from a DocuSign article that goes over the most common issues with envelope notification delivery.

If they have a DocuSign Account then they should check their Inbox in order to take action on these envelopes instead of using the notification.


I’ve been experiencing similar issues - I sent it to two people at the same time - person A signed it, but person B did not receive it, as of yesterday afternoon. I resent the envelope to both signers, and persons A and B were able to sign yesterday, but from my end the envelope was still in ‘waiting’ with the two signers. It wasn’t until this morning that I finally got the notifications from DocuSign saying each signer opened/viewed/signed the document and that the envelope was complete. This shows a 13 hour lag between my signers completing it, and my receiving the final copy, not to mention one of my signers not receiving the document on the first try. During this lag time, my document was shown as ‘waiting’ even though it was completed.

I don’t have a solution at the moment, but it does sound like a similar issue to the one I was facing yesterday and today.

The witness to a signatory is not receiving the email. If I click ‘resend’ in the agreements section will this send the witness request to the witness signatory?


Since this never-ending issue persists, and to make matters worse, I've already forked over cash for a whole year of service, only to wait an excruciatingly long two months for a response from Adobe tech support in this lackluster community. Deciding that the most efficient route to tackle this problem is to switch over to a different app such as HelloSign. My costly docusign subscription will not be renewed, and I'll likely bid it farewell in a week or two. What a letdown.
