Hi All,I know you can embed in-person signing on a document,But is it possible to embed in-person signing on a website (specifically a sharepoint site).We have site created where users have to provide in person consent, they will be in an office, office users will add the signers name and email address(and a second signer if required) and we expect the signers to sign in person.Is this possible?Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,I’m trying to send an envelope using the DocuSign eSignature REST API from an n8n automation workflow, but I’m getting a 400 - UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY error when using a template.Here’s the full request body I’m sending:{  "emailSubject": "Please sign this document",  "templateId": "b19401de-25af-426b-addc-c290c0ef0753",  "templateRoles": [    {      "email": "abc@gmail.com",      "name": “Group",      "roleName": "BCBA"    }  ],  "status": "sent",  "eventNotification": {    "url": "",    "loggingEnabled": true,    "requireAcknowledgment": true,    "envelopeEvents": [      {        "envelopeEventStatusCode": "Completed",        "includeDocuments": true      }    ]  }} And here’s the error response:400 - {"errorCode":"UNPROCESSABLE_ENTI

I am having no issues with the development environment; however, in production when I call the apiClient.requestJWTUserToken I’m getting back an error message.  “java.net.UnknownHostException: https”CODE    OAuthToken getToken(String apiClientUrl, String oAuthPath,             String clientId, String userId,             ArrayList<String> scopes, String keyValue) throws IllegalArgumentException, ApiException, IOException {        ApiClient apiClient =this.getApiClient(apiClientUrl, oAuthPath);        return apiClient.requestJWTUserToken(clientId, userId, scopes, keyValue.getBytes(), 3600);    }In dev the apiClient is using apiClientUrl = https://demo.docusign.net/restapithe oAuthPath value is https://account-d.do

We are creating 100 pages of forms and calling Docusign API to create an envelope for user to e-sign from our application. User have already reviewed the document in preview state before proceeding with E-sign. Is there option to E-sign all 100 pages in one click rather than user clicking each signature element in each form?  We want to improve the user experience for the client. Thanks.

I am have a usecase where my template is going to be signed by multiple clients. in those templates, I am prefilling different kinds of information (texts, checkboxes, radio buttons and so on). I have a usecase where I need to upload/prefill a logo. this logo will be different in many cases. and I am trying to figure out a way to generate a document with the corresponding logo. is there a way to do this ?

I’m using the SDK C# and when sending a request Envelopes::GetDocument (link) to get the documents, this fails with error:"errorCode":"COMBINEDDOWNLOAD_UNABLETOGENERATEPDF","message":"Unable to generate combined PDF. Please download the documents as an archive." Odd thing is that we are not requesting combined documents. Asking for combined documents would need the specific keyword “combined”, but we don’t have it or use it. Could the error code be related to something else than combined documents? I have not found any information about this error code.

Hello, We’ve noticed that when multiple emails are sent from DocuSign with the same subject line, Gmail automatically groups them into a single conversation thread. This makes it difficult for our recipients to easily identify or track individual signing requests.Could you please let me know if there’s a way to prevent this behavior by adding unique identifiers so that each message is treated as a separate email in Gmail? The envelopes are created via the API from a PHP application, and I’m using the Email Signing Resource file to define the email subject template.  

I need to build one envelope with three composites: a plain PDF with no signers, a server template with roles mapped to recipients, a flat PDF that overrides a server template’s original doc and maps template roles RoleA → Employee (routing 1) and RoleB → Owner (routing 2). ProblemIn composite #3, the tabs/fields from the server template appear on the wrong document (seem to land on the first doc), and the template for the flat PDF looks “ignored.What am I missing or doing wrong that it showing 3 documents as required but adding only last assigned template’s tab and text to complete envelope [i.e. overlaying on first document only ] and ignoring 2nd server template tabs and fields and not adding 3rd template it’s respective 3rd document ???

Hello,Could you please explain why email subject > 100 caracters are allowed trhougt Docusin_EmailResource customization but not with method RecipientEmailNotification ?

Hi there,I’m getting the following error when requesting an access token from the authorization code previously generated by Docusign:{ "error": "invalid_grant"}I’ve followed all steps in https://developers.docusign.com/platform/auth/public-authcode-get-token/. I can easily get an authorization code, but when using it to request an access token I get above error.

Hello,I'm developing an application using the eSignature REST API (via the Node.js SDK) and facing an issue with embedded signing. The `signing_complete` event is not being sent from the DocuSign iFrame to my parent application via `postMessage`.Here is my current setup and what I've tried so far:**Workflow:**1.  **Server-Side (Node.js/SvelteKit):**    *   I create an envelope successfully.    *   I call `envelopesApi.createRecipientView()` to generate a `recipientViewUrl` for an embedded signer.    *   Crucially, I am including `frameAncestors` and `messageOrigins` in the `recipientViewRequest` pointing to my local development origin (`http://localhost:5173`).    ```javascript    // Simplified server-side code    const viewRequest = {        returnUrl: `https://example.com/docusign/return`, // A simple fallback page        authenticationMethod: 'none',        email: user.email,        userName:

Hello,We set up a DocuSign app on our client’s dev account, passed the Go-Live check, and published to production. As the next step, a production user opened the consent link and approved it. We can see the app listed under the user’s Connected Apps.However, our OAuth token request to https://account.docusign.com/oauth/token still returns:{"error":"consent_required"}Note: We also have another production account where this flow works as expected—authentication succeeds—so the issue appears to be specific to this production account. I’m out of ideas on what else to verify and would appreciate any tips or guidance. Thank you.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Docusign Developer Lab at Dreamforce! It was great meeting so many of you—developers, admins, and builders—who jumped in to explore building Maestro workflows and using the Maestro API.  We heard from many of you that some of your biggest agreement challenges come from manually processing agreements, which ultimately slows down deals.

Hello,We setup a Docusign app on dev and followed all the steps mentioned in granting administrative consent for JWT Grant Flow. When we migrated our app to Prod, firstly, we don’t see the Organizations Tab that we see on Docusign dev and I get this error when I am trying to get an access token from Docusign.error 400 while reaching https://account.docusign.com/oauth/token: {"error":"consent_required"}I am not sure how to move forward from here because our setup works on Docusign Dev but doesn’t work after going live.

Hi Team, Today we found docusign iframe was not loaded, it even worked yesterday, no changes applied in our side.When I opened the signing URL  in the browser, which starts with “https://demo.docusign.net/signing/mtredeem/v1”.I cannot find our domain in “content-security-policy” response header, and confirm our domain has been added into the FrameAncestors whie calling CreateRecipientView API. Is their any update for demo site? Thanks,Fei

Hi DocuSign Community!I'm experiencing an issue with displaying base64-encoded images in HTML templates used for embedded signing via the eSignature API.I'm using HTML templates with <img> tags that contain base64-encoded images in the src attribute (using data: URLs). The images display perfectly when viewing the HTML in a standard web browser, but they disappear when the document is embedded using the DocuSignJS SDK for signing.Technical Details:API Used: DocuSign eSignature API with embedded signingSDK: DocuSignJS SDK (https://js.docusign.com/bundle.js)Image Format: Base64-encoded images using data:image/[format];base64,[data] syntaxImplementation: HTML templates with embedded <img> tags Are there any known limitations or specific requirements for displaying base64-encoded images in HTML templates when using embedd

I have a strange misalignment of signer records when I am setting up one signer as a host and another signer as an inPersonSigner using API.  The result of a setup is the signerName is used along side of a host email when it is showing “Hosted By” and also in one of the flow dialogs when it is saying that “Name1, pass control of the session to Name1”, where Name1 is the inPersonSigner signerName. I am submitting clientUserId for both host and inperson signer, otherwise I could not match the inPerson signer while generating a RecipientView. I see that it aligns the names correctly if I remove clientUserId from inPersonSigner record, but it breaks the mapping for RecipientView. Is there any possible work around for this?

Hello everyone,I’ve got some questions regarding the export of events, generated by employees to a company’s SIEM. As a security team’s representative, I’m interested in enhancing the monitoring and security of this system in my company, so I want to know if it’s possible to export this events to SIEM systemOur company has eSignature Business Pro Edition Plan and I have read the DocuSign has a Docusign Monitor, which can detect potential threats and it also has a pre-built alerts and SIEM integration capabilities, but unfortunately our plan doesn’t have this DocuSign Monitor. Are there any other ways to export the event logs to our SIEM system? Thanks everyone in advance.

​Hello,​I am trying to achieve a specific email notification workflow with the eSignature REST API, but I'm running into an issue.​My Goal:​I have an envelope with one embedded signer (clientUserId) and several CC recipients (carbonCopies). My desiredworkflow is:​The CC recipients should receive NO email when the envelope is sent.​After the embedded signer completes the signing, both the embedded signer and all CC recipients should receive the final "Completed" notification email.​What I've Tried:​I have tried two approaches, but both have failed:​Attempt 1: Using routingOrderI set routingOrder: 1 for the signer and routingOrder: 2 for the carbonCopies.​Result: The CC recipients still receive an email immediately when the envelope is sent. This email contains a "live view" link to the in-process document.​Attempt 2: Using suppressEmailsI kept routingOrder: 2 for the CCs a

Imagine a scenario where I send an envelope to several recipients containing some documents (let's call this the "first batch"). Later, I send a new document inside this same envelope. If any recipient hasn't completed signing the documents in the first batch, the new document is sent to them as usual. They receive an email notification, and upon opening it, they can view both the documents from the first batch and the new one. However, another recipient who had already completed all the pending signatures for the documents in the first batch isn't sent this second notification with the new file. I'm developing this functionality in PHP with the eSignatureAPI + e-sign client sdk.I'd like to know if it's possible to create this functionality. And if so, how can I do it?

I’ve been using Power Automate to send/track agreements sent by our legal team for about a year. Sending an envelope inserts a record into our MSSQL database, and the tracker PA updates the row when an envelope status changes.The contracts team recently reached out and wants to start recording the reasons that envelopes are being voided/declines. Previously I was just tracking if they were or not, but added a new column to the SQL table for ‘reason’. Capturing the reason for future envelopes has already been implemented, but I have ~350 voided envelopes I would like to retroactively access the ‘void reason’ for. I have all the envelope IDs that I need, but is there an API endpoint that I can call to get the void/declined reason? If I have to make two PAs (one for void, the other for decline, as the JSON packages are slightly different), that’s fine. I just haven’t found anything that works so far. Thank you!

Hello to everyone, We have developed and integration between DocuSign and our custom application which allows to set up integration with Salesforce. On our side everything works fine. However, when we log into DocuSign from our iPad using the developed signature button and get redirected to the DocuSign, we have some troubles here.First of all, it may take some time to load the page with the request of the SMS confirmation but it’s not the main issue. The main issue is that when we enter the code from SMS and get redirected to the page with template, it often happens that the screen just becomes white and that’s it. We can’t do anything after this, only to cancel the signature.I was talking with the developer team on our side and they told me that it seems like an issue is on DocuSign side. So that’s why I am posting this here to understand whether there were any other cases like that. And if yes, then what can be a reason of that? So that we can fix it b
