Adding Recipients

In order to send a document for eSignature, you also need to have a recipient attached to the record. Based on your org's settings, you may have the recipients being pulled from the DocuSign Default Recipients related list or from a contact field such as Primary Contact. To add new recipients during sending the document for eSignature, Add Recipients Enabled custom setting must be enabled in DocuSign System Properties.

The Add Recipient(s) screen contains a table that has a list of the recipients. The table has the name of the recipient, the email for the recipient, the routing order, and the signer type. The following tasks are explained in this section:

To add a default recipient
