DocuSign API - How do I make the signer receives a copy of the signed document

I have this thing working for like 2 years. Then it stopped sending emails to the signers after they signed a document. By the way the document is created from a widget embedded method.

I'm using the PHP SDK of the docusign API. And here's a summary of my code

$envelopeApi = new \DocuSign\eSign\Api\EnvelopesApi($apiClient);
$document = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\Document();
$document->setDocumentBase64("My document template");
$document->setName("My template name);
$document->setDocumentId("randomly generated document ID");

// creates the sign here
$signHere = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\SignHere();
$signHere->setAnchorString("Signature:");
$signHere->setAnchorIgnoreIfNotPresent("false");
$signHere->setAnchorUnits("pixels");
$signHere->setAnchorYOffset("50");
$signHere->setAnchorXOffset("5");
$signHere->setDocumentId("The document ID");
$signHere->setRecipientId("The recipient ID, randomly generated");

// add the signature tab to the envelope's list of tabs
$tabs = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\Tabs();
$tabs->setSignHereTabs(array($signHere));

// add the signer to the envelope
$signer = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\Signer();
$signer->setName("Recipient Name");
$signer->setEmail("Recipient Email");
$signer->setRecipientId("The recipient ID");
$signer->setTabs($tabs);
$signer->setClientUserId("The client user ID");

// Add a recipient to sign the document
$recipients = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\Recipients();
$recipients->setSigners(array($signer));
$envelop_definition = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\EnvelopeDefinition();
$envelop_definition->setEmailSubject("Mail subject");

// set envelope status to "sent" to immediately send the signature request
$envelop_definition->setStatus("sent");
$envelop_definition->setRecipients($recipients);
$envelop_definition->setDocuments(array($document));

// create and send the envelope! (aka signature request)
$envelopeApi->createEnvelope("Owner account ID", $envelop_definition, null);

I knew that by adding the envelope definition status "sent" would send a copy to the signer but thats not the case. Did something happened recently on the API that I have to adapt? I checked the documentation but still the same. So I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

By setting a ClientUserId for your signer, you are creating a Captive Recipient. If you want DocuSign to do email delivery, remove the ClientUserId parameter and a Remote Recipient will be created instead.
