How to send signature requests without email notifications in BoldSign?
Whenever a document is sent for signature, the signer will receive an email notification of the signature request. However, the sender can generate a signing link for a recipient and share it via a preferred messaging platform instead of sending an email notification. This allows the sender to control how the signature request is delivered to the signer.

Settings
