In DocuSign How can we programmatically map signer attachment uploads to individual recipients ?

Question

We are using Signer Attachment tabs in a multi-recipient envelope. After completion, we can retrieve documents using Envelopes API, but there is no clear way to determine which signer uploaded which attachment. What is the recommended approach?

Hi ​@sangeerth999,When using Signer Attachments, the uploaded attachment PDFs do not contain a field indicating which recipient uploaded them. The recommended approach is to correlate each attachment back to the corresponding signerAttachment tab.A common implementation pattern is:Assign each signerAttachment tab a unique, meaningful name and associate it with a specific recipient.After the envelope is completed, call:GET /accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/tabsThis returns the recipient's tabs, including their signerAttachmentTabs, along with the associated tabId values.Call:GET /accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/documentsThe attachment documents returned include an attachmentTabId property.Match the document's attachmentTabId to the corresponding signerAttachmentTab tabId, which in turn identifies the associated recipientId.
