Hi, I would like to set Email Default language to all recipient. I am aware of the option “Custom email and language for each recipient” on the settings, but that is not what I am looking for.I do not want to enable it because I need to dynamically set the Email subject and text with the Salesforce Apex Toolkit. If I enable this option, I cannot set the subject and text programmtically. I want to set the default language to German (Currently in English).  How do I achieve this? 

Hello — I’m working with a DocuSign Maestro template where I’d like a signer to enter a “whole dollar” value (e.g., 100) and have it automatically display or format as currency (e.g., $100.00).In the template designer, using a Currency / Number field works perfectly when setup so the signer enters the value manually on the contract. However, when that same field is prefilled via a Web Form and Maestro Workflow, the formatting (dollar sign, decimal places) doesn’t carry through — it just outputs the raw number.I’m trying to determine if there’s a way to apply or trigger that formatting on prefilled values.The only workaround I’ve found so far is hard-coding the “$” before the field and “.00” after it, leaving space for the user to type the number — but that feels like a fragile solution.Has anyone found a cleaner approach? Can a Web Form / Maestro prefill override or trigger the formatting rules of a currency field?

Hey everyone! 👋 Niani here—I’m a programmer writer at Docusign and former full-stack engineer.In September, I hosted an async AMA focused on automating agreement workflows with Docusign APIs.You all asked some great questions, ranging from authentication and webhook tracking to workflow versioning and resiliency patterns. I’ve pulled together a recap of the top questions here so you can reference them anytime as you build with Maestro. How does authentication work with Maestro? Can it be linked with S

I’m using the Signature API example.  When the user opens the email, rather than being able to sign, the document is getting opened for editing instead of for signing. string envelopeTest = CreateEnvelopeFromTemplate.SendEnvelopeFromTemplate("scottftrick@gmail.com", "Scott Trick","strick@michels.us","Scott Trick", accessToken.access_token, acct.BaseUri + "/restapi", acct.AccountId, "9d0acb57-30c5-414f-a4fe-1d72e8bfca66");         public static string SendEnvelopeFromTemplate(string signerEmail, string signerName, string ccEmail, string ccName, string accessToken, string basePath, string accountId, string templateId)        {            //ds-snippet-start:eSign9Step3            var docuSignClient = new DocuSignClient(basePath);            docuSignClient.Configuration.DefaultHeader.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);                       EnvelopesApi envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi(docuSignClient);

I need to implement e-signature functionality on my client’s website. We are generating a PDF, and I already have the signature image of the authorized person. I would like to apply this e-signature to the PDF document, but I do not want to perform verification every time. Could you please suggest which APIs or Steps would be suitable for this requirement?

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 recip

i want to use DocuSign Api Service to send document for digital Signature but the problem is that i want sign box in specified row of document so i want to change the width accordingly but their is only one option which is scaleValue so is there any option or api with any payload by which i can fix the height and width as per my require ment

I Can’t find any way to set prefill tabs datathru all posts it looked like I should do it this way, but it doesn't work let results = await envelopesApi.createEnvelope(accountId, {            envelopeDefinition: {                templateId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',                templateRoles: [                    {                        email: 'reciepient@gmail.com',                        name: 'john doe',                        roleName: 'client'                    },                ],                tabs: {                    prefillTabs: {                        textTabs: [                            {                                tabLabel: 'name',                                value: 'Jabberwocky!',                            },

For years, developers building integrations with Docusign APIs have voiced a common frustration: “Why do I need to make 20 eSignature API calls to take my integration live?”We heard you. And we’ve fixed it.Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of a streamlined Go-Live experience in Apps & Keys that eliminates the 20 API calls requirement, making it easier for developers to take their integrations live. 🌟 What’s NewNo more 20 eSignature API calls for Go-Live: Going live is now seamless. Simply select your integration type, enter your production account details, and the built-in validation will check if your integration is eligible to go-live in that production account. If eligible, your integration can, in most cases, go live instantly. 🎯 Why This MattersPreviously, developers were required to make 20 eSignature API calls to start the Go-Live process. I

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",

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/docu

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 Na

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
