I am following this guide:https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/how-to/request-signature-template-remote/ I have a template in my dev environment that contains all the fields for the user to enter and sign.When I use the guide above and send the template to the user, rather than the signing fields they are getting the document and need to add fields to the document.  How do I change this to be the actual document where they fill in the fields and sign, that is setup with the template? Thank you!

We build signing envelope via API. We often have multiple signers in our envelope and are currently signing sequentially. We use the TextTabs to put read-only text on the document. And, we are putting those tabs on the lowest order recipient. The tabs, in this case, have a transparent background and overlay nicely on-top of the document. Lately, I was asked to parallelize the signing process (i.e. send the document to multiple recipients at the same time). We tried a few things to make this work: Copy the tabs to all recipient. This caused issues since we were exceeding the Maximum number of tabs in an envelope (we have a lot of documents in our envelope). So, this option was not acceptable.  Use the shared option on the tabs. When using shared, all recipients would see a white background on the tab. Even if required and locked were set to ‘true’.  Use the global option “When an envelope is sent, write the initial value of the field for all recipients”. This was working pretty well for

Is the eSignature API fully functional on the Personal and Standard plans?For example, if I have a custom PDF that is generated from my own website (automatically filled with the user data), can I use that same PDF to create an envelope on the fly?I can’t find out where I can see what API features are allowed in Personal / Standard / Business / Enterprise. Or can I assume that all features are available in all of these unless specified in the docs? Thanks!

I tried to create the Prefill tab using a POST call, but it threw an error message in Postman. I’m using the Business Pro plan on my account. Below is the request body I used for the API call. Request body:{    "tabs":    {    "prefillTabs": {      "textTabs": [        {          "validationPattern": "",          "xPosition": "124",          "tabId": "4d21df0f-7324-421d-xxxx-07142a62a055",          "shared": "false",          "templateLocked": "false",          "tabLabel": "Text 50eeec15-xxx-4fe3-b950-9f9f6baf1d7d",          "pageNumber": "1",          "underline": "false",          "yPosition": "182",          "requireAll": "false",          "tooltip": "prefiltab",          "tabType": "prefilltab",          "italic": "false",          "required": "false",          "templateRequired": "false",          "locked": "false",          "value": "oooo",          "height": "41",          "disableAutoSize": "false",          "validationMessage": "",          "originalValue": "oooo",          "a

We deployed Docusign embedded signing and embedded CoC download into our own system. We have configured the Japan timezone in Settings > Regional Setting.But we are always got CoC timestamps in UTC timezone. Is it possible to change that into Tokyo Timezone? How can we do it? In addition, can we change language of "Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure" into Japanese in CoC?Looking forward to your guidance. Thank you

This is a follow-up question from my previous post Salesforce Apex Toolkit cannot override Email subject from Docusign Envelope templateBasically I needed to disable option “Custom email and language for each recipient” so that I can dynamically set the email subject and text using Salesforce Apex Toolkit.Now the issue is, the email is always sent in English. How do I set the default email language, with / without Salesforce Apex Toolkit? 

Hello there.I need help with implementing the eSignature API. I have a simple Word document with variables - {{contractor_name}}, {{contractor_email}}. How can I use the API to update this document and populate real data instead of {{contractor_name}} and send it to the recipient?- I tried to use textTabs and send all the necessary data in one request, including a Word document in Base64 - the fields didn't populate.- I tried to manually create a template using the web UI, upload a Word document, manually add sender fields, and then made a request to update these custom fields (docGenFormFields). Nothing. ChatGPT assumed that docGenFormFields wasn't turned on in my account. But how to turn it on, I have no idea.I'm using the developer sandbox account. Can anybody point me to how to implement field population via API?I've used:Document generation manual - https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/esign101/concepts/documents/document-generation/Prefilled tabs - https://develope

Hi — I’m not a U.S. citizen. How can I register and sign the DocuSign document from abroad?Also, our company’s authorized officer will sign the document. Do you require any corporate documents (e.g., board resolution, power of attorney) or notarization for the corporate signature

Hi, I have created a Docusign Envelope Template (dfsle__EnvelopeConfiguration__c) with name “Opportunity Document”. I also used Docusign Salesforce Apex Toolkit to send the Email and adjust the email subject and email message dynamically. However, the email subject is not being overwritten by the code.Relevant Apex Code:Id mySourceId = opportunityId_i; // Opportunity ID// Create an empty envelope.dfsle.Envelope myEnvelope = dfsle.EnvelopeService.getEmptyEnvelope(new dfsle.Entity(mySourceId)); // Use a Salesforce Contact ID as a RecipientContact myContact = opportunityIdToContactIdMap.get(opportunityId_i);// Use the Recipient.fromSource method to create the Recipientdfsle.Recipient myRecipient = dfsle.Recipient.fromSource( myContact.Name, // Recipient name myContact.Email, // Recipient email null, //Optional phone number 'Signer', //Role Name. Specify the exact role name from template new dfsle.Entity(myContact.Id)); // Add Recipient to the EnvelopemyEnvelope = myEnvelope.withRecipients

After working for some time with Docusign's API I thought it would be a good idea to look into the API's 'Connect' feature (https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/connect/).This allows the sending of information to an application via webhooks when an event occurs for the envelope in question.Currently the only webhook listeners I have available are with Microsoft Teams and Mattermost. I have created the webhook listener in both and can send information to them using the following command: curl -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"text":"Test text 1"}' <endpoint>where `<endpoint>` is the URL of the webhook listener in either Teams or Mattermost.Next I have tried to send information from an existing Docusign envelope to Teams/Mattermost using the following perl code: use strict;use warnings;use LWP::UserAgentuse HTTP::Request::Common;use JSON;my $EnvelopeID='"92f294ba-a5a0-4a4d-ac85-f08ad5b6a09a"';my $webhookURL=q{https://site.webhook.office.com/web

Hello, community!I’m having trouble publishing my app to production. I had already started the process, but it was rejected due to not meeting the requirement of 20 test requests. After completing this step, I resubmitted the request, but now the go live status only shows “error”, without specifying what went wrong. In addition, I no longer have the option to resubmit. I reached out to support, and they advised me to look for a solution here in the community.

We have recently got DocuSign for our company and integrated it with our OneDrive app. The sync between the two keeps slipping. We need signed documents to be saved to the original forlder. Can anyone advise on where this could be going wrong? It just saves to the primary folder in OneDrive. We had it setup initially but it keeps changing. 

Here are some of the latest popular questions that developers asked in the Docusign Community for the month of September 2025. Thread: Is it possible to wrap the value of an anchor tag?https://community.docusign.com/esignature-api-63/is-it-possible-to-wrap-the-value-of-an-anchor-tag-25514Summary: The developer is adding tabs to a document using anchor strings, and they want to place those tabs within a table. When a recipient fills out the tab, the text within the tab should wrap to the next line so that it stays contained within the table’s borders. Answer: One solution is to set the value of disableAutoSize on the tab to true. This disables the auto-sizing of single line text boxes in the signing screen and only allows users to enter as much data as the text box can hold. It’s also possible to control the size of the text tab with the height and width properties. Thread: Need to add CEO signature in signed documenthttps://community.docusign.com/esignature-api-63/need-to-add-ceo-signa

I also show how signed contracts and key terms flow back into Salesforce automatically, saving hours of manual work and reducing errors across your process. Watch the full video here:  Sofian Saoudi | Founder @Solusign Consulting - Docusign PartnerNeed help with Docusign?Book a call with me🌎 www.solusign.com | 📧 hello@solusign.com | 📺 Learn Docusign on YouTube

I’ve placed the anchor tags for my document in a 3 column table.  The first cell has anchor tag \c1\ for recording a Text Tab value for signer’s company, the second cell has anchor tag \n1\ for recording the signer’s full name, and the last cell has anchor tag \s1\ for recording the signature.The problem is that the displayed value for the anchor tags are not wrapping within the cells of the table.  So if the company names or signer’s names are long, they run into the values of the other cells causing the text to overlap.  Is there a way to force the injected text to wrap in the cell and respect the layout where the anchor tag is defined? I’ve tried to specify the “width” property to 100 and “anchorUnits” property to “pixels” (also tried “inches”), but it doesn’t seem to affect anything:"recipients": {    …    "signers": [      {       ...        “Name”: “Sample Name”        "tabs": {          "signHereTabs": [            {              "anchorString": "\s1\",              "anchorUnits

Hello,I am attempting to implement JWT Grant authentication for my DocuSign integration in a developer account (demo.docusign.net).
