Automatic Reminders in Agreements
Give your participants a gentle nudge — automatic reminders help reduce delays by notifying anyone who hasn’t signed yet.
Understanding Automatic Reminders
Automatic reminders help reduce delays by following up with participants who haven’t signed yet. The system dynamically schedules reminders based on the available signing window — either the agreement’s expiration date or a default 15-day period.
You can choose between two reminder levels:
- Normal (default): Starts around 5 days after the first invite and sends a few spaced-out reminders with decreasing frequency.
- Intense: Starts sooner (around 3 days in) and follows up more frequently within the same time window.
The timing of reminders adapts to your signing flow:
- If sequential signing order is enabled, reminders are scheduled individually for each participant, starting when they’re invited.
- If grouped signing order is used, the schedule is reset for each group.
- If no signing order is enforced, reminders are scheduled from when the initial invitations go out.
Once a participant signs, they won’t receive any more reminders.
Usage
Automatic reminders are opt-in and can be enabled when creating or updating an agreement. Just include the automatic_reminders
flag:
{
[...],
"automatic_reminders": "normal"
}
or
{
[...],
"automatic_reminders": "intense"
}
If the flag is omitted, no reminders will be sent. Once enabled, reminders will be scheduled automatically based on your signing flow and chosen intensity — no further configuration needed.
