Emails Tab
Email notifications can be sent to both eDOCSignature users and package signers whenever a package update occurs during the signing process. The Emails tab allows you to customize the email notification templates sent to your signers. You can modify the colors of the header, button, and text found in your email notifications to match your company's branding. You can also modify the subject, header, greeting, and button text found in each email notification template.
By default, only the NoticePkgCompleted.Email notification is sent to users and signers. All other email notifications are configurable depending on the options enabled for your credit union. To enable additional email notifications, contact eDOC Client Development.
About Email Notification Message TypesAbout Email Notification Message Types
The templates from which email notifications are generated are stored on the Emails tab. There are four email notification message types in eDOCSignature from which you can select when sending packages out for signing: Public, Text, Private, and No Email.
- Public – An email notification is sent to the signer. The email includes a hyperlink that brings the signer to the eDOCSignature signing pages.
- Text – A text message notification is sent to the signer. The text message includes a hyperlink that brings the signer to the eDOCSignature signing pages. This feature must be enabled by eDOC Support before it can be selected. For more information, contact eDOC Client Development.
- Private – An email notification is sent to the signer informing them to log into their home banking site. Once logged in, the signer can view an additional message containing more information that has been transmitted to the home banking site via the message submission API. This additional message contains a hyperlink that brings the signer to eDOCSignature's signing pages.
Note: Only the initial private email notification sent to the signer can be edited from the Emails tab. The additional message transmitted to the home banking site cannot be edited.
- No Email – No email notification is sent to the signer. This option is mostly used for in-person (i.e. in-branch) signing.
