Create a In Person Signer with an Unknown name

Question

Hello,So I got the API integration almost working perfectly, just one hangup which I hope I’m just missing a setting somewhere.I’d like to setup an In-Person Signer but without their name pre-filled.  We are delivering goods to a company, so we know the company name and general email inbox to send the documents.  We just don’t know who is going to be there to receive the goods, could be John Smith, Jack or Jane Doe.  The In Person Signer is able to change to their name when signing, but would be nicer to have it already blank.How can we accomplish this? Thanks,Brian

Hi ​@bhoward31,Thank you for reaching out!Unfortunately, the API requires at least the name field to be provided in the call. However, you can set this field to a generic value like "Signer" or "Recipient" if a specific name isn't available at the time of the call. This should help you proceed without encountering errors.https://www.docusign.com/blog/developers/common-api-tasks-request-signature-person-signer
