How Sending Works in GetAccept

Describes sending logic, communication templates, recipient links, and engagement scoring.

Updated yesterday

Sending in GetAccept is a system, not a button. It combines three independent but connected components:

  1. Communication templates control outbound messaging.

  2. Recipient links control access, identity, and tracking.

  3. Engagement score evaluates how engagement features are used.

Each component is owned by a different system and behaves independently.


Communication templates (messaging control)

Communication templates define the default email, SMS, and chat messages used when a document is sent.

They control:

  • Email subject and body

  • SMS content

  • Automated chat messages

  • Chat reminder timing

  • Tone and formatting

When a document is sent:

  • The selected template supplies all outbound messaging.

  • Email and chat reminders follow the same template rules.

  • Template changes only affect future sends, not already sent documents.

This ensures consistent, branded communication across teams.


Recipient link logic (access and tracking)

Each recipient receives a unique access link when a document is sent.

The link:

  • Is tied to the recipient’s identity and role

  • Shows only the fields and content assigned to that person

  • Tracks views, time spent, and interactions

  • Feeds audit logs and analytics

If a link is forwarded:

  • New viewers may be asked to identify themselves

  • Access follows the document’s visibility rules

  • Activity from additional viewers is tracked separately

This guarantees signer identity, correct field assignment, and reliable analytics.


Engagement score (readiness signal)

The engagement score appears during Prepare for sending and reflects how well engagement features are configured.

The score increases when:

  • An intro video is added

  • An automated chat message is enabled

  • Chat reminders are active

  • Identify new viewers is enabled

The score does not consider:

  • Document content quality

  • Visual design

  • Email or SMS length

  • Internal metadata

The score is a predictive indicator of engagement readiness, not document quality.
