Resends the signing request to a recipient who has not yet completed their ceremony. Use this endpoint to:
  • Send reminders. If a recipient has not signed, resend the invitation as a reminder.
  • Retry after a soft bounce. If the invitation email was temporarily undeliverable, resend to try again.
  • Re-deliver a lost email. If a recipient reports not receiving the invitation, resend it.
The resend is rate-limited to prevent email spam. The response includes can_resend_at, which tells you when the next resend can be initiated. The wait period increases with each attempt:

The request can only be resent if the recipient’s status is sent or soft_bounced, and the envelope status is in_progress.
