Rename a Document Via a Signing Link
How to rename a document via a signing link with signNow
If you need to customize the name of your document when sharing it via a signing link, you can do so without renaming the existing document template. All you need to do is edit the signing link itself.
Generate a signing link
Go to your Templates folder in signNow, select the template you need to share, and click Create Invite Link.

Copy your signing link
Your signing link appears in the pop-up. Copy the URL and paste it wherever you can make changes to it before sharing the link with a signer.

Modify the signing link
Add the following snippet at the end of your signing link: “?sgn_doc_name=” (no spaces or quotation marks required). Then, type the new document name after “=”.
Example:
?sgn_doc_name=John_Smith_Application
Once your recipient follows the modified signing link, the document will open and it will have the name you’ve set.
Note: You can ask your IT department to set up a mail merge for this feature.

What is a signing link?
With signNow, you can create a signing link for any document or template. It is a short link that can be shared with anyone whose signature you require. By following the link, each user receives their own copy of a document that can be eSigned. Completed documents automatically appear in your Documents folder (or any other folder of your choosing). -

How can I check who signed my document when I use a signing link?
Each signer who submits a document via a signing link remains anonymous and is titled “guest_signer” in the signNow interface. However, you can check a document’s history with all the actions made to it, timestamps, and the IP addresses of signers. To view a history log, click on the ellipsis icon next to the document you need and select History. -
Do signing links expire?
A signing link generated from a template won’t expire unless you delete the template. Even if a signer opens a document via a link and closes it before finishing, they will still be able to follow this link again, although a new copy of the document will open. On the other hand, a signing link generated from documents expires once you delete the document or once the document is signed. If a signer closes a document before completing it, they have 30 days to reopen and sign the document. -
