Embedded signing client userid for Docusign webapp

Question

When defining an embedded signer, we need to provide a clientUserId along with the recipient's name and email. The clientUserId is a sender-defined identifier for the embedded recipient, enabling the generation of a signing URL for them. How can this be accomplished when envelope is initiated using the DocuSign web app and recipient should sign using embedded signing in a custom built mobile app

​@neethujkpNo, embedded signing can only be initiated via API and not via the (standard) Docusign Web App. The clientUserId needs to be specified by the application that is also redirecting the user to sign the document.That having said, you can correct an envelope created by the Docusign Web App to change it to embedded signing by adding the clientUserId for a recipient. In that case the initial recipient will always receive an email, but you could use an internal email address as a placeholder and also remove/updatethat recipient while correcting the envelope.

Hello ​@neethujkp,I believe in this case you can use the Hybrid Signing session, where you can use the DocuSign UI, email notification but also create an embedded session. You can check how to do that here:https://www.docusign.com/blog/developers/the-trenches-hybrid-captiveremote-signing-embeddedrecipientstarturlThanks!
