What is a template signing link?

Template link is a signable link generated from a certain document template, able to save your time in inputting recipients’ names and emails one by one. Instead, signers are required to enter their names and emails themselves after hitting the link. Then the document will be sent to their emails for signature.

This type of signing link can also be used for bulk sending. Share the link with hundreds of signers and have CocoSign track and manage all signing progress.
