Sequential vs parallel signing on one envelope
Add up to 20 recipients on one Inkpacket envelope. Sequential routing invites the current order first; parallel invites everyone at once. One decline still closes the whole envelope.
How to send one envelope to multiple signers
Collect several signatures on one Inkpacket envelope: add up to 20 recipients, assign marks to each slot, choose sequential or parallel routing, and keep the audit on a single envelope id.
Assign fields to each signer on one envelope
Assign signature, date, text, initials, checkbox, and select marks to recipient slots on an Inkpacket envelope so a multi-signer PDF files with the right mark in the right box.
When parallel beats sequential routing
Pick parallel routing on one Inkpacket envelope when nobody should wait on another inbox. Sequential still owns countersigns. One decline closes the whole envelope either way — and one envelope is still one envelope.
First-signer waiting message
After a sequential Inkpacket send the desk says First signer was invited. A later signer who opens early sees This envelope is waiting for an earlier signer. That waiting-page honesty is not a void.
Void after a partial sign
An Inkpacket envelope stays SENT after the first signer marks it. Void still works. Later links die. You cannot un-sign or void a completed envelope. That is partial-void honesty — not a rewrite of the audit.
Decline closes the envelope
One Inkpacket decline closes the whole envelope — later sequential signers are not invited, parallel links die, reminders stop. That is decline-close honesty, not a per-signer skip.
When recipients share a sequential order
On sequential Inkpacket routing, recipients who share the same Order (1–20) sign in parallel, then the envelope advances. That is shared-order honesty — not a second routing mode and not fifty envelopes.
Reminders skip uninvited sequential signers
On a sequential Inkpacket envelope, reminders and resend only email people who already have a live invite. Later orders wait. That is uninvited-reminder honesty — not a skip, not a leak.
Why an envelope stops at 20 recipients
An Inkpacket envelope accepts up to 20 recipients. A 21st slot is not a second envelope and not a plan unlock. That is recipient-cap honesty — not HTTP 402, not checkout.
Why Each recipient needs a unique email is not a bulk skip
Inkpacket returns Each recipient needs a unique email when two recipients on one envelope share an address. That is unique-email honesty — not a bulk skip, not checkout.
Why Signer name and email are required is not a unique-email 400
Inkpacket returns Signer name and email are required when send has no recipient row. That is missing-recipient honesty — not a repeated inbox, not checkout.
Why X is already a recipient on this envelope is not a unique-email 400
Inkpacket returns that address is already a recipient on this envelope when send adds an inbox that already sits on the draft. That is already-on-packet honesty — not a unique-email 400, not checkout.
