Bulk Send
Ability to send a single document to many recipients efficiently while maintaining individualized audit records and minimizing manual steps for mass distribution or recurring signature requests within CRM workflows.

They are responsible for API keys, single sign-on settings, account provisioning, and monitoring logs for integration errors or security events.
