How many people can I CC?

Up to 5 per document. They count toward your plan's limit on people per document: 5 on Free, 25 on Pro and Teams.

Does a CC get reminders or a link to sign?

No. A CC gets nothing while the document is out for signature, only the finished copy at the end.

You don't need to. As the sender, you already get the signed PDF and certificate when everyone has signed.

Can I send a document only to CCs?

No. A document needs at least one signer before you can send it.

Do templates and bulk send keep CCs?

Not yet. Saving a document as a template leaves its CCs out, so add them each time you send.

What you need

An Inkly account. It's free to sign up.
A document ready to send, with at least one signer.

Add a CC, step by step

Open the Send document dialog
In the editor, click Send document. Your signers are listed with their email addresses.
Add the CC
Click Add signer or CC and choose CC (gets a copy). A new row labelled CC appears. Enter their email address. People you've sent to before are suggested as you type.
Send
Click Send document. Your signers get their invites as usual. The CC gets nothing yet.

A CC can't be someone who already signs the document, or the email you're sending from, because they already get the finished copy.

What a CC receives

While the document is out for signature, a CC gets no invite, no reminders, and no link, and never signs. When the last signer finishes, they get an email with the signed PDF and the Certificate of Completion attached, worded as their copy. If the document is declined or voided, they get nothing.

On the document's page, CCs are listed under Gets a copy, apart from the signers. The Certificate of Completion lists them under Copy recipients, not as signers.
