Send and Track Requests

View as Markdown

Once a request is prepared, you can either save it as a draft or send it immediately.

Request States

  • Draft: prepared but not yet sent
  • Sent: sent to one or more recipients
  • In Progress: at least one recipient has opened or signed
  • Completed: all required recipients have signed
  • Declined: a recipient declined the request
  • Cancelled: the sender cancelled the request
  • Expired: the request expired before completion

Tracking Recipient Progress

For each recipient, Clear Ideas tracks:

  • delivery
  • delivery issues such as bounced email or spam complaint
  • viewed status
  • verification status
  • signed status
  • decline status

Sequential vs Parallel

  • In Sequential requests, the next signer is notified when it is their turn.
  • In Parallel requests, recipients can sign independently.

Authentication-Gated Requests

If a request requires an email verification code before signing begins, Clear Ideas does not reveal the request details or document until that challenge is completed successfully.
