Send Your First Envelope
Step 1: Create an Envelope
From the Envelopes page, click New Envelope and upload a PDF file (max 10 MB).
Step 2: Configure General Settings
Set the envelope title, add tags for organization, and choose a workflow mode:
- Sequential -- recipients sign one after another in a set order
- Parallel -- all recipients can sign at the same time
You can also control how recipients are notified by setting the Email Notifications preference:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| All Emails | Recipients get emails at every step -- signing requests, next-signer alerts, and completion (default) |
| Completion Only | Recipients only receive an email when the envelope is fully completed |
| No Emails | No email notifications are sent to recipients at any point |
Step 3: Add Recipients
Add the people who need to act on the envelope. Each recipient needs:
- Name and Email
- Role -- Signer, Approver, or CC
- Signature Method -- Electronic, Aadhaar OTP, DSC USB Token, or All (let recipient choose)
- Signing Order -- only relevant in sequential mode
Step 4: Place Fields
Use the drag-and-drop editor to place fields on the PDF pages:
| Field Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Signature | Where the recipient draws or types their signature |
| Text | Single-line text input |
| Textarea | Multi-line text input |
| Email address field | |
| Number | Numeric input |
| Date | Date picker |
| Checkbox | Checkbox for agreements |
| Radio | Radio button group |
| Dropdown | Dropdown selection |
Assign each field to a specific recipient.
Step 5: Send
Click Submit to send the envelope. Each recipient receives an email with a secure signing link. Credits are deducted based on the signing methods used.
