Edit a signer’s e-mail address on a failed transaction

This article explains how to update a signer’s e-mail address when a transaction has failed because the original e-mail address was incorrect or no longer active.

Use this option if the signing request could not be delivered to the signer, and the signer needs to receive the request at another e-mail address.

Before you start

You can edit the signer’s e-mail address directly on a failed transaction.

Update and save the e-mail address before you reactivate the signing. This ensures that the new notification is sent to the correct e-mail address when the transaction is reactivated.

Use this article when:

  • The transaction has the status Failed

  • The signing request could not be delivered to the signer

  • The signer’s e-mail address is incorrect, inactive, or no longer in use

  • You need to update the e-mail address before reactivating the transaction

Edit the signer’s e-mail address

  1. Go to Overview.

  2. Open the transaction marked as Failed:

    Open the failed transaction from Overview. The Edit button is available before the transaction is reactivated.

  3. Select the signer whose e-mail address needs to be updated.

  4. Click Edit.

  5. Go to the E-mail field.

  6. Enter the correct e-mail address.

  7. Click Save:

    Update the signer’s e-mail address and save the signer details before reactivating the transaction.

Reactivate the transaction after saving

After you have updated and saved the signer’s e-mail address, reactivate the transaction.

When the transaction is reactivated, the signer receives a new notification at the updated e-mail address.

The reactivation process itself is covered in the separate reactivation article. For step-by-step guidance, see Reactivate a transaction.

If the transaction fails again

If the transaction fails again after reactivation, open the transaction and review the Log.

The Log itself is covered in the separate Transaction Log article. For step-by-step guidance, see Transaction Log in Addo Sign.

The Log can help you check whether:

  • The new notification was sent

  • The updated e-mail address was used

  • A new delivery error occurred

If the e-mail address is still incorrect or inactive, update it again, save the change, and reactivate the transaction once more.

Before contacting support

Before contacting Addo Sign Support, you should check:

  • Whether the transaction has the status Failed

  • Whether the signer’s e-mail address has been updated

  • Whether you clicked Save after updating the e-mail address

  • Whether you reactivated the transaction after saving the updated e-mail address

  • Whether the transaction Log shows a delivery error or a new notification event

If you still need help, include:

  • Transaction ID

  • Signing ID

  • Current transaction status

  • Signer name and e-mail address

  • Updated e-mail address

  • Relevant log entry or error message

  • Screenshot of the issue
