Bulk Send Overview

Send in bulk allows you to send the document to multiple recipients at the same time.  This is useful when you have a list of recipients that all need to sign their own versions of the same document.  Common use cases for this feature include;

  • When you need a formal approval from multiple people (e.g., sending a terms sheet to a list of people where you need a formal approval / acknowledgement from each person)
  • When you want to send a unique document to multiple recipients at the same time and each recipient needs to complete their own version of the document (e.g., sending a tax form to multiple new hires as the same time)

Overview of the Send in Bulk process

  • When creating a document, you select the Send in Bulk option
  • You upload a list of recipients to include in the send
  • Add the fields to your document and assign to recipients
  • Review and send the document
  • A unique copy of the document is sent to each of the uploaded recipients.  Each recipient is notified to complete their version of the document.
  • Each unique document shows in your document list page and can be tracked and managed individually.
  • Upon completion, each recipient will receive a copy of their unique document

 

Note:In addition to uploading a list of recipients, you can also add recipients manually (i.e., using the add recipients button). When adding a recipient manually, that recipient will need to take action on each unique document.

 

Example: Employment Eligibility Verification
A solar company is hiring a group of 15 people as door to door sales people to promote their product. In order to hire the sales people, they need to send each of them an i-9 employment eligibility form. Rather than sending the same document 15 times, they use bulk send. This allows them to send each sales person a unique document while only creating the document one time.

 

Tip: Bulk Send can be a little tricky to set up the first time. It's a good idea to do a test send before you send to a large list. That way, you can prevent errors when doing a real send.
