Before you begin
- Use an authorised account and confirm the customer, external recipient, template, letter or configuration is the intended one.
- Follow the exact route shown above and verify the stored record, generated file and delivery evidence instead of relying on an alert alone.

Exact step-by-step process
- Review Last Open IP.
- Review Last Open IP Source, such as CF-Connecting-IP, X-Forwarded-For or REMOTE_ADDR.
- Read Last Open IP Note.

EvidenceVerify the history row, PDF, email metadata, open evidence, signature, public page, client view or postal fields produced by this flow.
Code-backed validations and workflow rules
- The endpoint checks several headers and takes the first syntactically valid IP.
- It records the source label used.
- User-agent patterns add notes for Google, Apple, Microsoft/Outlook and security scanners.
Expected result and verification
- The requested letter, template, setting, file or tracking detail is created or updated through the supported route.
- The history row, generated PDF, email/send metadata, public verification, signature evidence, client view or postal display agrees with the action.
- Any warning, missing file or failed send is investigated rather than bypassed.
Security, privacy and operational checks
- Apply least privilege and verify recipient identity before sending or exposing public links.
- Protect PDFs, enclosures, signatures, verification URLs, email-open metadata, IP addresses and customer data under organisational policy.
- Test configuration and deployment changes with controlled records before production-wide use.
- Interpret email opens and e-signatures according to their documented technical limitations.
