After uploading you will be then taken through the usual esigning process. Each recipient in the bulk list will receive their own document to esign. For example, if you import a bulk list to esign with 45 recipients, 45 separate documents are generated and sent from your account for signing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a maximum file size or a maximum number of recipients for an envelope?

You can use bulk send for up to 100 recipients at a time. Anything over 100, the email sent to recipients’ risks being delivered as spam. For example, if you have 163 recipients, we recommend doing this in 2 batches of 100 and then 63.

Can I recall a bulk send document?

No. Once a document through bulk send it sent this cannot be recalled. We recommend testing the feature before to a small group of test recipients using the intended document to reduce risk of error.
