Bulk Send Guide: How to Send One Document to 500 Signers at Once

Send a single document to up to 500 recipients in one action. Track progress, auto-remind, and download all signed copies. Step-by-step bulk send guide.

When You Need Bulk Send

Some documents go to one person. Others go to hundreds. Company-wide policy updates, annual compliance acknowledgments, NDA packets for conference attendees, patient consent forms for a clinical trial — these all require the same document signed by many people.

Without bulk send, an administrator creates one envelope at a time, entering each signer’s name and email manually. For 200 signers, that is 200 repetitions of the same task. At 2 minutes per envelope, that is nearly 7 hours of mind-numbing data entry.

Bulk send eliminates this. Upload one document, import a CSV of signers, and press send. ClosingIQ delivers up to 500 personalized signing links in a single batch.

How Bulk Send Works

Step 1: Upload Your Document

Upload the document that all signers will receive. ClosingIQ supports PDF, DOCX, and image formats.

Step 2: Place Signature Fields

Place signature, initial, date, and text fields on the document. These fields will appear in the same position for every signer.

Step 3: Import Your Signer List

Upload a CSV file with signer names and email addresses. Required columns: `name` and `email`. Optional columns: `phone` (for SMS delivery), `role`, `custom_field_1`, `custom_field_2`.

Alternatively, paste names and emails directly into the form (one per line).

Step 4: Preview and Send

Review the signer list. ClosingIQ validates email addresses and flags duplicates. Click “Send All” to dispatch up to 500 personalized signing links.

Each signer receives their own unique link. The document is personalized with their name in the greeting.

Step 5: Track Progress

The bulk send dashboard shows real-time status for every signer:

  • Sent — Link delivered, not yet opened
  • Viewed — Signer opened the document
  • Signed — Signer completed all fields
  • Declined — Signer declined to sign
  • Expired — Signing deadline passed
  • Filter by status to see who still needs to sign. Export the status report as CSV.

    Step 6: Automatic Reminders

    ClosingIQ sends automatic reminders to signers who have not completed:

  • Day 1: Gentle reminder
  • Day 3: Follow-up with urgency
  • Day 7: Final notice before expiration
  • Day 14: Last chance (if document expiration is set to 30 days)
  • Step 7: Download Signed Copies

    Download individual signed PDFs or a ZIP file containing all signed copies.
