Question

two signers with priorisation

hello everyone,

we use the rest api (eSignature) to send documents by email and have them signed.

but now we need a kind of double signature process. i mean the following: the document should be sent to 2 people. first person 1 has to sign and only when this is done, person 2 has to sign. it is important that person 2 is only allowed to sign if person 1 has already signed.

how exactly can we realise this?

thank you.

Define routing order values for your recipients.  Sounds like today these are blank in your call or setup as 1 for both recipient in a template which would lead to a parallel workflow.  Value of 1 and 2 for your signers, respectively, will change that to a sequential process.

Hello,

 

In the envelope recipients classes, you have further insights about how routing orders and which parameters you can use to define how and to who the envelope should be handled:
