How to Track Individual Document Status in a Multi-Document Envelope via API?

Hi everyone,

I'm working with the DocuSign API to track the status of individual documents within a multi-document envelope. My goal is to determine whether each document has been signed separately, but I only see status tracking at the envelope level.

I’ve tried the following:

  • Used GET /envelopes/{envelopeId}/documents, but it only retrieves documents, not their status.

  • Checked recipient statuses, but they apply to the whole envelope.

  • Explored webhooks, but I’m unsure if they can provide document-specific updates.

Questions:

  1. Is there a way to track individual document status separately?

  2. Would splitting each document into its own envelope be the best approach?

  3. Can DocuSign Connect provide document-specific events?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi ​@hfakih !

 

Documents themselves do not have a status. Only envelopes (created,sent,delivered,completed,voided), recipients(created,sent,delivered,completed), and tabs (signed, not signed) have statuses. Tabs belong to the recipient that they are assigned to rather than the document they are placed on. It depends on what information you’re looking to leverage, there might be a workaround to get the data you’re looking for
