# Signature Invitation

### What Is a Signature Invite?

A signature invite is a secure email sent to each recipient, containing a unique signing link. It directs the recipient to their designated fields, allowing them to review and sign the document. Each invite is tracked to ensure accountability.

***

### Sending Invitations

When a document is generated from a template with an eSignature delivery configured, Docupilot automatically sends signature invites to all assigned recipients based on the envelope configuration.

### Signing Link Validity

Each recipient’s Signing link remains valid for up to 5 days or until the envelope is completed / voided / declined / expired. When a signing link expires, the recipient can request for a new signing link using the Resend Link button shown when they open the expired signing link. New Singing links are automatically sent if the reminders are configured for an envelope.

### Notifications

Docupilot sends automatic email notifications to keep all parties informed:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/signature-invitation.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.
