# Reminder Settings

### Reminder Settings

To help ensure documents are signed promptly, Docupilot lets you set up reminder settings that notify recipients at regular intervals. You can choose to:

* Use the default reminder settings configured at the account level.
* Or, disable the default and define custom rules such as first reminder date, reminder frequency, and expiry warning.

If the envelope is in Pending status, you can update the reminder settings directly from the Signature Details Page. A Send Reminder button is also available beside the History icon for quick manual follow-up.

> Note that manually sending reminder will not affect the reminder workflow. Reminders scheduled to be sent based on First Reminder, Reminder Frequency and Expiry Warning will still be sent as scheduled.

### Configuring Expiry

Set how long an envelope is valid before it expires. Once expired, recipients can no longer access or sign the document. This is useful for time-sensitive agreements or approvals.

### Default Reminder & Expiry Settings

By default the reminder and expiry settings are as follows:

1. **First reminder:** 3 days from the date a recipient recieves an envelope for signing.
2. **Reminder frequency:** 2 days - current signer will receive a reminder to sign once every 2 days after the first reminder is sent.
3. **Warn before expiration:** 5 days - current signer will receive an email 5 days before the envelope expiration.
4. **Expiry:** 30 days - envelope will expire in 30 days after it is sent.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.docupilot.app/esignatures/reminder-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
