Can clients share an email address and still receive documents to sign?

The portal allows you to provide your clients with an efficient, effective and easy way to sign documents.

Digital Doc Signing is available to use if your company’s subscription enables this.

If your clients share an email address for their household, it is still possible to get digital signatures from the different individuals.

To allow the same email to be used by different individuals, your system must enabled first. To enable shared emails:

In your Partner portal>Documents>Doc Signing
Click on the Settings Cog to open the Document signing settings
Click ‘Allow signers to share email’ and click Save
Once saved, begin sending a document to a client with a shared email address. The only adjustment that is required in sending a document now is choosing the same person from the drop down list and editing the name to reflect the partner/spouse etc. See below steps.

Follow the instructions for document signing, but when adding signatures, follow below:

Signature 1: will be main email address and name from drop down
Signature 2: choose same person as signature 1, then click Edit Name
A window opens to add the first and last name of the partner/spouse
Once adjusted, Click Update
Your Signature 2 name will now reflect the new name and show the same email address.
Complete the Upload Document sections and click Upload.
Once uploaded, a signature tag will reflect each signers name. Place signatures as normal.
Click Send and two emails and push notifications will be sent to the client.

Difference on client side:

Client receives emails, clicks on their link and logs into the portal.
Signature bar is at the top of the page, clicks on ‘Sign now’
Two forms will be shown for the same document, choose one, and click ‘Sign’
Once ‘sign’ is clicked, a Confirmation screen pops open, this will request confirming you are the person supposed to be signing (OK, I am …) . If you are not, just click ‘Not me’
