Notification channels let you receive email updates about envelope and recipient activity in your account. When events occur (such as an envelope completing or a recipient bouncing), SignatureAPI sends a notification to each active channel.

Stop Receiving Notifications

To delete a notification channel, go to Settings > Notifications, select the channel you want to remove, and delete it from the channel details page. Deleting a channel is permanent. The email address will stop receiving all notifications immediately, and you will need to re-add and re-verify it if you want to receive notifications at that address again.
