Select a template, enter a recipient's email, and send a signing invitation.

## Prerequisites

- A DocuSeal account with at least one template created
- The recipient's email address

## Steps

### Step 1: Open your template

Go to **Document Templates** on the dashboard. Click the template you want to send.

### Step 3: Enter the recipient's email and send

In the modal, type the recipient's email address in the text area. Multiple emails can be separated by commas. The **Send Email** checkbox is enabled by default — leave it checked to email the signing invitation automatically. Click **Add Recipients**.

### Step 4: Confirm the invitation was sent

You are redirected to the template page. A confirmation message appears: "New recipients have been added." The recipient now appears in the Submissions list with a **Pending** status.

## Tips

- Use the **Via Phone** tab in the modal to send signing links via SMS instead of email.
- Click **Edit message** next to the Send Email checkbox to customize the invitation subject and body.
- To send to multiple people with different roles, switch to the **Detailed** tab.
- Use **Upload List** to bulk-send from a CSV file.

## Summary

Select a template, add recipient emails, and click Add Recipients. DocuSeal emails the signing link automatically.
