Multi-party envelopes with signer, approver, and CC roles, sequential or parallel order, and a hash-chained audit trail on every transition.

Role order is set per template. Sequential order means each role is notified only after the previous completes.

Envelope lifecycle

  1. 1

    Draft

    Choose a template, add recipient emails for each role, set reminders, expiry, and decline handling.

  2. 2

    Sent

    First-in-order recipients receive a notification. One-time passcode access — no account or app required.

  3. 3

    In progress

    Each party signs or approves in turn (sequential) or simultaneously (parallel). Audit events record every action.

  4. 4

    Completed

    All parties done. Certificate of completion and final document are sealed. Envelope moves to retention.

Key controls on every envelope

🔢

Role order

Sequential or parallel. Sequential ensures each party only sees the document after the prior role completes.

⏰

Reminders and expiry

Set automatic reminder cadence and an expiry date. Expired envelopes are marked and can be voided or re-sent.

🔐

One-time passcode access

Default signer identity check. No app download, no account creation. Passcode delivered to signer's email or phone.

🔗

Decline and void

Any signer can decline with an optional reason. Operators can void at any stage. Both actions land on the audit trail.

📋

Hash-chained audit trail

Every transition — sent, opened, signed, declined, voided — is recorded with timestamp, IP, and correlation ID.

📄

Certificate of completion

Generated at completion. Contains a summary of all signing events, signer identities, and document fingerprint.

The envelope wizard, as operators use it

Sequential or parallel order, named recipients, and role toggles — the same draft chrome your team sends from.

  • Roles, not mystery checkboxes

    Signer, approver, and CC are first-class. Sequential order notifies the next party only after the previous completes.

  • Decline and void are recorded

    A declined envelope does not vanish. Operators can void, clone, or leave the declined record on the trail.

  • Certificate at completion

    Signed file plus completion certificate — event summary, identities, document hash.
