Problem
There is no single admin-level control to automatically redirect all envelopes addressed to a specific user (e.g., when someone leaves the company or changes roles).

Admins must rely on a mix of:

  • Delegated Signing (user-level, manual setup)
  • Custody Transfer Rules (post-creation workaround)
  • Template updates (often complex and time-consuming)

This creates operational overhead and risk of envelopes getting stuck.

Proposed Solution
Introduce an admin-level “Auto-Redirect / Delegation Rule” that:

  • Automatically reroutes all new incoming envelopes for a selected user to a designated delegate
  • Works regardless of whether the user is a recipient or sender
  • Applies globally (across templates, PowerForms, API integrations)
  • Can be set with start/end dates or indefinitely

Key Benefits

  • Eliminates dependency on user-level delegation setup
  • Avoids editing large numbers of templates
  • Prevents envelope delivery failures when accounts are deactivated
  • Simplifies offboarding and role transitions
  • Reduces admin workload and operational risk

Current Workarounds (Not Ideal)

  • Delegated Signing requires user login/setup
  • Custody Transfer Rules only act after envelope creation
  • Template ownership updates are manual and error-prone
