I would like to set up an envelope template so that when i use bulk send i allow senders to change the senders name to sign off on the envelope.

For example:  in lieu of the senders name Payroll department sent you a document to review and sign. 

Is this possible to do as an admin or can/should this be done on the individual senders account settings?

Hello ​@Peter Cooper,

 

I hope you are doing well. Yes, it is possible to use custody transfer rules with envelopes sent from Bulk Send. It's important to note that the user receiving the transferred envelopes should have the Bulk send permissions for it to work.

 

Let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you!

@Peter Cooper 

The sender name will be taken from the Docusign profile that was used to send out the envelope.

Changing the name of the sender in their profile will change the appearance when sending envelopes. Be aware that this is not only for sending, but also for signing envelope where the name will be taken. 

Another option would be to explore “Custody transfer” and set up rules to change the owner before sending the envelope to the Docusign account you want to be sent from.

Or you could look into creating a specific brand with an adjusted email resource file, if this is available to you and add a different wording directly into the email notification templates. This will not require to change the name of the individual users, but instead you will make your changed here and send it our normally.

Is it possible/advisable to use custody transfer rules with the bulk sending using the csv file option when sending more than 10 envelopes?
