Signing

How do I send a reminder to a signer who hasn't signed?

From the document detail page, click "Send reminder" next to any pending signer. They get a bilingual reminder email with a fresh expiry note.

When a signer hasn't completed a document yet, the document detail page shows a Send reminder button next to their name. Clicking it:

  • Fires a bilingual EN+AR reminder email immediately
  • Increments the signer's reminder counter
  • Records a reminder_sent audit event
  • Updates the "Last reminded" timestamp on the signer panel

The reminder email is template-driven (subject line, body, and CTA all bilingual), inherits your branding (logo + color), and respects your verified custom From address if you've set one up.

Frequency limits

We deliberately don't cap how often you can send reminders — that's your judgment call based on the relationship with the signer. Common patterns:

  • Day 3 — first reminder, "just checking in"
  • Day 7 — second reminder, more direct
  • Day 14 — final reminder before document expiry
  • Day 30 — link expires; either resend with a new token or void

Auto-reminders

Not yet shipped. The schema supports a lastReminderAt + reminderCount per signing session, and the email templates exist. The background scheduler that fires auto-reminders on a configurable cadence is on the roadmap.

For now, reminders are manual / API-triggered. If your workflow needs automated nudges, you can call POST /api/documents/:id/remind on a cron and pick whichever signers to remind based on the GET response.
