Accounts are a mechanism for bundling users and settings into discrete units. Accounts may be configured to mirror your corporate structure, or accounts may be configured to delineate sales units that should be branded uniquely.

Custom EmailsAs a best practice, one of the first things to configure in your AssureSign account is Custom Emails. Custom Emails are a fantastic method of branding, and they also provide a means of catering your emails specifically to your customers. Even if you do not plan on creating an entire custom email design set immediately, we strongly recommend you set your default email design set to “Default Designs,” rather than “Built-in – English.” Then, rename “Default Designs” to a name of your preference. This is achieved through the following four steps: Go to the Administration Tab – Email. Click “Edit” which is found next to “Default Designs.” Check the “Make Default” box. Click “Save.”  These email bodies are the exact same as the “Built-In – English” set, however you can edit and rename this email design set to your liking. Emails that are sent to signatories are grouped into  Email Design Sets.
