Question

Filling out tabs with Witness details

Hi,

I am creating an envelope with the eSignature API and this includes witnesses.  I am added signature and text tabs to the witness recipients.  The signer is adding the witness name and email when signing, and then the witness will enter their address when signing.   I want the Witness name and address to appear where the text tabs are in the document when they enter their details or sign.  However this is not working.  I’m assuming becuase I havent at any point associated the tabs with this data.  Is there are way of doing this at the point of envelope creation?  I am trying to reduce the amount of admin work done by my team before they send the envelope.

 

Thanks

Hello Team

 

We can include witness signer information within Text tabs in the create envelope request and designate it as visible.

 

 "textTabs": [
                        {
                            "tabLabel": "text",
                            "value": "Jabberwocky!"
                        },
                        {
                            "bold": "true",
                            "documentId": "1",
                            "font": "helvetica",
                            "visible":"true",
                            "fontSize": "size14",
                            "height": "23",
                            "locked": "false",
                            "pageNumber": "1",
                            "required": "true",
                            "tabId": "name",
                            "tabLabel": "added text field",
                            "value": "jacob",
                            "width": "84",
                            "xPosition": "280",
                            "yPosition": "172"
                        }
