To keep the approval process in time, SigningHub allows you to configure auto reminders for the recipients who may forget to timely respond to your workflow. A reminder is the original email notification that is resent to the recipient(s), when they don't sign a document by a certain (configurable) time period. You may also send manual reminders later anytime to any recipients, during a workflow execution. 


SigningHub might show some pre-defined reminders as laid out in your default enterprise settings, see details. You may change the default settings as required before sharing.

  2. A dialog will appear, tick the "Remind After" check box and specify the number of days/hours after which this reminder needs to be sent. SigningHub will start the days/hours count, after the recipient has received the workflow package.
