Disable expiry notification for the signers

When sending documents for signatures via BoldSign, there might be scenarios where you don't want to alert the signers about the document's expiry date. BoldSign provides a feature that allows you to disable the expiry notification for signers, ensuring a smoother document signing experience.

Disabling expiry notifications

To disable expiry notifications, you can leverage the DisableExpiryAlert property in the document metadata. By setting this property to true, you effectively prevent the expiry alert from being sent to the signer's email.

Here are code examples demonstrating how to achieve this:

Code snippet

curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send' \
     -H 'accept: application/json' \
     -H 'X-API-KEY: {your API key}' \
     -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
     -F 'DisableExpiryAlert= true' \
     -F 'Message=' \
     -F 'Signers={
        "name": "Hanky",
        "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@cubeflakes.com",
        "signerType": "Signer",
        "formFields": [
           {

    }
  ],

}' \
  -F 'Files={your file}' \
  -F 'Title={title}' \

By setting the DisableExpiryAlert property to true in your API call, you ensure that signers won't receive expiry notifications via email. Make sure to provide the necessary fields such as Files, Title, and Signers in your API call. This approach allows you to maintain control over the document workflow and disable expiry notifications for a smoother signing process.
