How can we set the status to 'Completed' using the REST API?

Question

Hi,I have implemented the following using the REST API:	Created a templated envelope with two recipients.			The first recipient is required to sign, so I used the embedded signing focus view on the frontend and completed the process.			Updated some additional tab details for the second recipient in the same envelope using the REST API.			The second recipient does not need to sign.	Now, how can I update the envelope status to ‘Completed’ using the REST API and send it to both recipients?

Hello,It’s not possible to alter the status of the envelope via the API, that can only happen naturally as the envelope progresses. It sounds like you might have your second recipient designated as a signer, which requires them to take some action on the envelope. If you only want them to receive a copy of it, I would suggest updating their recipient type to a carbon copy instead, so that after the first recipient signs, the envelope will complete and send out the completed envelope to all recipients.Best regards,Jonathan | Docusign Developer Support
