The Contact Groups feature allows you to send documents to a group of signers simultaneously, which is particularly beneficial if you frequently send documents to the same set of individuals. When a signature request is sent to a contact group, any member of the group can sign the document without requiring a specific signing order.
Follow the below steps to send documents to a group of signers:
- Click the
Create Newbutton and select theCreate New Documentoption. - You will be navigated to the Prepare Document page.
- In the
Add recipientssection, click theContextmenu located near the Add Recipients button, and from there, choose theAdd Recipients Groupoption. - By selecting this option, the
Contact group namecolumn will be added to theAdd Recipientssection. As you enter an existing group name into theContact group namefield, the group name will appear in the drop-down menu. Simply click on the group name to add it as a recipient.
- The total number of recipients in that group can be found just below the
Contact group namefield. To view the list of recipients within that group, click theViewListoption.
- If you don’t have any existing contact group and want to create a new one, you can do so by clicking the
Create new contact groupoption.
- By doing so, a pop-up will be displayed. Enter the group name in the
Contact group namefield and add signers in theAdd user(s) to the groupfield by using theAddoption. - After adding the required users, click the
Createbutton. Your contact group has been successfully created.
- Fill in all other required fields and click the
Nextbutton. - On the Configure Fields page, add the required form fields to the document and click the
Sendbutton. - Now, the document has been successfully sent for signature to a group of signers simultaneously.
