# How can I send automatic signing and approval reminders?

## Learn how to set up automatic reminders for pending signees and approvers to prevent delays and bottlenecks in your contract workflows.

### How to enable automatic signing and approval reminders

**Admin** users can enable automatic signing and approval reminders on the **Organization settings** page.

Simply:

1. **Switch on** the toggle next to **send automatic approval reminders** and/or **send automatic signing reminders**
2. Type or click the arrows to select a **time interval** between 1 and 999 days to send reminders. Changes will automatically save.

When automatic reminders are enabled, **pending** **signees and approvers will receive an email notification** at regular intervals until they have signed the document or given approval.

**Note:** Automatic signing reminders are not sent to signees with requests that have been pending for more than 30 days when automatic reminders are first turned on.

### **How do users know when automatic reminders are enabled?**

**Automatic signing reminder settings** will display to users in the signing section of a document in the project:

**Automatic approval reminder settings** will display in the approvals section of a project:

⚠️ Note: **Manual reminders** can still be sent for both signing and approval requests when automatic reminders are enabled. When sending manual reminders, users will be asked to give confirmation that they wish to send the notification.

### How to track automatic signing and approval reminders

Any user with access to the project can view the date and recipients of the **last sent** reminder, as well as the date of the **next scheduled** reminder in the signing section of a document and in the approvals section of a project:

Additionally, **Admin** users can track automated signing and approval reminders using the activity log in the project:
