Solution to Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) In Process Requests

There may be times when you need to check on the status of a document that's been sent out for signature or the recipient advised they did not receive it. 

If the intended recipient didn't receive the document to be signed, Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign), has changed the behavior of their system to no longer process signature requests if the number of requested signers does not match the signature fields present on the form.

For example: 

• If you have a form that requests only the counter-signer's signature (%counter_signer_signature%)
• AND do not have a location for the primary signer defined on the form (%signer_signature%)

This example will cause Dropbox Sign to leave the request "Pending" indefinitely.

To solve this, you will need to edit your form to either add the missing signature field or add the All Signatures field option.
