# The recipient

> Signers and other recipients who interact with envelope documents in Power Automate

A **recipient** is a person who receives an envelope. A **signer** is a type of recipient.

Recipients interact with the [documents](/docs/integrations/power-automate/documents/document) in an [envelope](/docs/integrations/power-automate/envelopes/envelope) during a Ceremony. These interactions may include signing, initialing, or filling in information. Once recipients successfully complete all required actions within the envelope, their status is marked as complete.

## Relationships

A recipient belongs to an [envelope](/docs/integrations/power-automate/envelopes/envelope)

## Lifecycle

The recipient’s `status` field indicates its current stage, tracking interaction and progress. Possible recipient status are:

|                |                                                                                                                  |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `awaiting`     | The recipient is waiting for previous recipients to complete the envelope.                                       |
| `pending`      | The envelope has not been sent yet to the recipient.                                                             |
| `sent`         | The envelope has been sent to the recipient.                                                                     |
| `completed`    | The recipient has completed the envelope.                                                                        |
| `rejected`     | The recipient has declined to complete the envelope.                                                             |
| `soft_bounced` | The email to the recipient was temporarily undeliverable.                                                        |
| `hard_bounced` | The email to the recipient was permanently undeliverable, maybe because the email address doesn’t exist anymore. |
| `failed`       | An error ocurred and the email could not be sent to the recipient.                                               |
| `replaced`     | The recipient was replaced with another one.                                                                     |
