I've configured many DocuSign PowerForms over the years, but I was recently asked to support a new use case that doesn't appear possible.
What the client wants is for the PowerForm owner and the signer to both receive an email notification when an envelope is completed. That piece is easy. However, they also want only the PowerForm owner to receive the completed documents attached to that email. They don't want the signer to receive any attachments; they want the signer to only receive the email notification, with nothing attached.
As far as I can tell and have tested, all attachment settings I can see for completed envelopes apply globally, both to senders and signers. I'm hoping I'm wrong though.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.
There is a feature that the account administrator can enable and disable that allows the attachments of the completed documents to the completed emails however, this is an all-or-nothing feature, meaning, it would affect all parties of the envelope and not just some. It can be enabled/disabled by going to:
Settings
Signing Settings
Enable/disable "Attach documents to completion email" under Envelope Delivery

This function should be enabled by default on all account plans, you would just need your account administrator to enable it, if you do not know who your account administrator is, please contact your IT department or Help Desk.

Hi. I mean how do I submit a request for DocuSign to add a feature/enhancement? It's currently limiting that the attachment setting is an all or nothing deal. It would be ideal if we could decide who receives a copy of attachments instead of either everybody getting them or nobody getting them. This really shouldn't only be available as an account-wide setting. We should also be able to configure it by role/person and by envelope/template/PowerForm if we need to.

I too would like the capability to suppress the attachment in the confirmation sent to the signer, but to still allow the attachment in the PowerForm owner confirmation email.
Since the original post was from a year ago, I’m hoping this is now available. Please advise.
