How do I make sure my e-signature request does not go to spam?

Ask your email administrator to add 'adobesign@adobesign.com' to your organization's allowed sender list. This helps prevent the emails from being marked as spam. Make sure your sender profile name is not blank, as this can also cause emails to be rejected by some spam filters.

What is the difference between sequential and parallel signing order for e-signatures?

Signing Order Description When to Use. Sequential Signers must sign one after another in a specific order (A then B then C). For approvals where hierarchy matters, like a manager then a director. Parallel Signers can sign at any time; the order does not matter. When multiple people need to sign but their order is not important, like multiple team members.

What authentication options are available for high-value e-signature agreements?

You can add an email authentication step. The signer receives a code via email. You can add an SMS code authentication step. The signer receives a code on their phone via text message.

If a document needs a signature but does not have a field, the recipient cannot sign it. This stops the process and causes delays, so always confirm this before sending.
