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? 

Hi, i am currently in the developer phase, I was testing if multiple routing order can be done. Made a request with the following api{{baseUrl}}/{{apiVersion}}/accounts/{{accountId}}/envelopesand with body{  "documents": [    {      "documentBase64": {{document}},      "documentId": {{documentId}},      "fileExtension": "pdf",      "name": "document"    }  ],  "emailSubject": "Multiple Signing Example from api testing",  "recipients": {    "signers": [      {        "email": {{user1_email}},        "name": {{user1_name}},        "recipientId": "1",        "routingOrder": "1"      },      {        "email": {{user2_email}},        "name": {{user2_name}},        "recipientId": "2",        "routingOrder": "2"      }    ]  },  "status": "sent"} The first order signer gets mail, after signing it shows that invitation was sent to 2nd signer but the 2nd signer did not get any mail in the inbox. After i forced “Resend” in the developer console, It sent the mail. What could be the issue?There is

Hi everyone, My name is Valeriya, and I’m a product manager at fintech startup that helps people refinance their high-interest credit card debt into one lower-interest loan, with a single monthly payment and a clear debt-free date. We’ve successfully tested the DocuSign API and SDK in the sandbox environment to enable digital loan agreement signing between our company and our clients. Here’s how it works in our app:1. The loan agreement is generated on our side and sent to DocuSign via API.2. The client receives a link to the signing ceremony directly in the app.3. DocuSign opens in the in-app browser, allowing the client to sign the loan agreement easily on their mobile device. We’ve now purchased a commercial plan under and want to move to the production environment.I’ve already completed the ISV Embed Developer Account form for our app. How can we get someone to: 1. Review our ISV Embed form submission  2. Help us move forward with the Go-Live / production setup? We’re currently una

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 SSO, and can data be passed from an identity system?Answer: Maestro uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. At the account level, Docusign supports SSO for user login, but Maestro doesn’t automatically pass identity data from your IDM or authentication provider into workflows.If you need to use attributes from your IDM (like email, employee ID, or group), you can capture those after login and pass them into Maestro as workflow input variables. Maestro can also accept data from systems such as C

We have been successfully using the API end-point since around March 2024 with a custom built plugin in WordPress Gravity Forms on our USA server. The custom plugin uses the composer package docusign/esign-client ^6.10 behind the scenes. In mid august we migrated our setup to new server in the EU. Since migrating to a fully patched ubuntu 24.04 server (no java or log4j), using a LAMP stack, all of our API calls get HTTP 444 with the vague error message “The custom error module does not recognize this error.”If we run “curl -v  https://na4.docusign.net/restapi”  on the cli from the new server we receive this response: < HTTP/1.1 444 < Content-Type: text/html< Vary: Origin< X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff< X-DocuSign-TraceToken: c247ca85-1505-4838-9d76-693daec3245d< X-DocuSign-Node: SE101FE106< Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2025 17:14:15 GMT< Content-Length: 54< Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains< * Connection #0 to host na4.docusign.net left

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);            EnvelopeDefinition envelope = MakeEnvelope(signerEmail, signerName,

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 recipients”. This was working pretty well for

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

We’re building an integration where envelopes are created via the DocuSign API (through Make.com). The goal is to customise the Completed confirmation emails (subject and body).I reached out to DocuSign Support, but I’ve been bounced around and still don’t have a clear answer. So I’m putting this out here:🔹 Which plan level unlocks the Branding feature so we can create and reference brandId values?🔹 Once branding is enabled, can we use:PUT /restapi/v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/brands/{brandId}/resources/emailwith a custom XML resource file (including <completedSubject> and <completedBody>) to fully customise those confirmation emails?🔹 Can HTML and placeholders (like signer name or envelope ID) be used inside those tags?🔹 If we specify {brandId} when sending envelopes via the API, will the customised branding email templates apply automatically?🔹 And finally, if branding isn’t applied, is there any other way to override the Completed email subject/body via API?If anyone h

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!',                            },                            {                                tabLabel: "text",                                value: 'lorem ipsum'                            }                        ]                    }                },                status: 'sent'

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
