Can invitation e-mails be modified?
Can invitation e-mails be modified?
Updated over a month ago

Modifications to the current invitation e-mail are limited, as we send a large volume of e-mails to customers and we wish to guarantee that our e-mail will always reach the signers.

Via the portal

  • The default sender of the e-mail is noreply@signhost.com. This can be modified by purchasing the option ‘send e-mail from your own domain’. E-mails can then be sent from your own domain name, e.g. contracts@yourbusiness.nl.

  • The invitation e-mail in the message. By default this is set to the e-mail address you also use to log in, and so it can be changed. To do so, please contact us.

  • By distributing the signing link yourself, you can circumvent our formatting and layout entirely.

  • The message content can be specified in the portal for each signing invitation. You can also specify a default message in your profile.

  • The signer's name can also be included in the e-mail, making it more personal.

Use the following syntax to include the name in the e-mail: 

{{Name}}

This syntax will include the signer's name.

Adding the signers' name to the e-mail message

You will also need to enter the signers' name yourself, so that our system can insert it. This works as follows:

  1. Enter the syntax.

  2. Choose Scribble as verification method and fill in the name for every specific signer.

In the portal, it will appear as follows:

Via the API

There are two methods available for sending the signing invitation via the API:

  1. The invitation flow. This works identically to the portal flow: Signhost e-mails the invitation, reminders and the documents. To start the invitation flow, the SendSignRequest parameter must be set to TRUE in the POST transaction (https://evidos.github.io/endpoints/#post/api/transaction).

    The sender, invitation e-mail and message can all be modified in the invitation flow, just like in the portal. The message will be modified in the transaction as follows: SignRequestMessage. A message can be added using plain text. No HTML is permitted. Line breaks can be inserted using \n.

  2. The direct flow. Following a GET, the Signhost API returns a URL https://evidos.github.io/endpoints/#get/api/transaction/{transactionId}. This allows you to e-mail the link yourself, or for it to be opened directly in the browser.
