# 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:
