How to resend Docusign to one person

You’ve just received the message you’ve dreaded ever since you started using Docusign: Someone you recently sent a contract to accidentally deleted the email containing the link. Could you please resend?

The panic is real. How can you resend a Docusign email without spamming everyone involved in the contract-signing process?

Docusign is a popular tool, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy to use. Unfortunately, the “Resend” button doesn’t allow you to be selective, and there’s no other obvious way to handle this situation.

But don’t worry — you’re in the right place. We’ll show you exactly how to resend Docusign to one person, step by step. At the end of this article, we’ll also give you a peek at a better, more intuitive tool you can try: Jotform Sign.

Docusign: How to resend to one recipient

Follow the directions below if you’re sending Docusign to multiple signers and need to resend to just one party who has lost the original email or needs a gentle nudge, without bothering the rest of the signers.

Important note: If your envelope has a signing order and the intended recipient is NOT next up to sign, these instructions won’t work; Docusign won’t send a notification to someone who cannot yet sign. In that case, you’ll have to wait to execute this Docusign envelope resend process until their turn has arrived. However, if you did not set a particular signing order, the instructions below will work as expected.

Here’s how to send a reminder in Docusign to one person:

1. Navigate to the Agreements page via the menu at the top.

2. For the agreement you need to resend, click the three vertical dots next to the Resend button and choose Correct from the dropdown menu.

3. Expand the Recipients section and scroll down to the person you want to resend to. Click the Customize button and, from the dropdown menu, select Add private message.

4. Type your message in the box. Then click Next: Add Fields at the top.

5. Click Correct on the following page.

You’ll see a notification that the document will be resent, along with your note, to the one recipient as indicated. They will see your message along with a link to the document.

How to correct and resend to an email address if it bounced

1. From the Home page, navigate to the Agreements page.

2. Next to the relevant agreement, click the three vertical dots to the right of the Resend button and choose Correct from the dropdown menu.

3. Expand the Recipients section and scroll down to the person you want to resend to. Edit the email address as needed. Then, at the top, click Next: Add Fields.

4. On the following page, click Correct at the top and, again, you’ll see a notification that the document will be resent only to the recipient associated with the corrected email.

If you’d prefer to provide a link rather than send an email, follow these instructions for sending a Docusign link. Alternatively, if your group will be meeting in person, here’s how in-person signing works with Docusign.

Managing document tracking shouldn’t feel like you’re navigating a minefield.
