Recipient Says They Didn't Receive the Document

Jul 30, 20262 min read

The most common support conversation in eSignature — and 90% of the time the email is sitting in their spam folder. Work this list with them, top to bottom. 

1. Have Them Search Spam 

Ask them to search their spam/junk folder for "Inkfree". Found it? Mark as not-spam so the next one lands properly. 

2. Verify the Address 

Open the request detail page and check the email you sent to. Typo? Open the signer's menu (⋮), correct the address — the fix is logged in the audit trail

3. Resend 

Click Send Reminder — a fresh email goes out with the same secure link. This alone resolves most "lost it" cases. 

4. Check the Audit Trail 

The trail tells you the objective truth: 

•  Delivered → it reached their mail system; the problem is on their side (spam, filters). 

•  Bounced → the address is wrong or dead; get a current one. 

•  Delivered and opened → they saw it; a friendly nudge is all that's needed. 

5. Corporate Filters 

Company mail security sometimes quarantines automated senders before the inbox. Their IT can allowlist Inkfree's sending domain — a common, quick fix. 

Last Resort 

Edit the recipient to an alternate address they control (personal email, for instance) — properly, via the signer's menu, never by forwarding the link.
