Sometimes emails sent for signature don’t reach the recipient. A common issue is a bounced email address. When this happens, HR teams may not notice right away, which can delay onboarding or other processes.
This guide shows how to use Microsoft Power Automate and SignatureAPI to detect email bounces when sending signature requests, and automatically send a Slack message to your team.

This helps your team follow up quickly and avoid delays in signing documents.
Test the flow to make sure it works:
