Best Practices for Secure, Accurate Bulk Send e Signature
FAQs About Bulk Send e Signature
- Why did my Bulk Send fail to upload?
Check CSV structure, required columns, and encoding. Ensure there are no extra delimiters or missing headers. Validate recipient email formats and remove hidden characters that can break parsing during upload.
- How do I correct incorrect field mapping?
Open the template mapping view, review CSV column names, and adjust field assignments. Reassign fields to the correct columns and perform a small test send before running the full batch to confirm accuracy.
- What if recipients report not receiving emails?
Verify email deliverability and sender authentication (SPF/DKIM). Check spam filters and notification logs. Confirm the notification sender address is authorized and not being blocked by recipient domains.
- How can I reduce the chance of data errors in recipient lists?
Validate and normalize data before upload using scripts or spreadsheet checks. Remove duplicates, standardize date formats, and ensure required fields are populated to prevent rejected or incomplete transactions.
- Are individually signed copies preserved for audits?
Yes; each Bulk Send recipient receives an independent signed document and audit trail containing timestamps, authentication events, and document hashes suitable for internal and regulatory review.
- What should I do if I hit API rate limits?
Implement exponential backoff, batch requests within allowed quotas, and request quota increases for high-volume operations. Schedule large sends during off-peak times to minimize throttling impacts.
