What if Signhere Positions are not Provided?

Hello Everyone, I’m trying to build an embedded signing workflow. I’ve achieved the signing workflow for a document. But I’m trying a scenario where I will not mention x and y positions for the signer. In the documentation it is given that docusign gives me toolbox to drag and drop for the signature.Common API Tasks🐈: Let your signers decide where to place the tabs for you (docusign.com)when I tried that it is throwing an error.and when I remove the attributes then it is automatically placing signature tab at the top of the doc.my payload:{ "recipient": { "signers": [ { "email": "test1@gmail.com", "name": "test1", "clientUserId": "1", "recipientId": "1", "signHere": { "documentId": "1", "pageNumber": "1", "xPosition": "string", "yPosition": "string" }, "routingOrder": "1" } ] }, "document":{ "documentBase64": "base64", "documentId": "1", "fileExtension": "pdf", "name": "pdfN

Is it possible to preview a draft envelope before sending it?

Hi,I’m trying to create a preview of a draft envelope so the sender can confirm all the data and fields are correct before sending the envelope. I tried using the createSenderView API to get the URL for the Sender View. However when I try to access the URL its saying Login Unsuccessfulredeem console code : RestApi Error . Transaction Id: xxxxFrom what I’ve read online, the supposed URL is supposed to be this domain “https://demo.docusign.net” but I’m getting this instead “https://apps-d.docusign.com”.Is there some configuration/setting that I’m missing?Regards,Matt

Routing Order for embedded signing (Error - RECIPIENT_NOT_IN_SEQUENCE)

Hello everyone, I’m encountering an error while specifying routing order. when I mentioned routing order as 1 & 2 for two signers it is throwing an error "errorCode\":\"RECIPIENT_NOT_IN_SEQUENCE\",\"message\":\"The token for an out of sequence recipient cannot be generated.And when i changed routing orders as 0 & 1, then it was working.Is there any particular sequence or any mistake in the previous routing order??And even though it worked, the second signer can open the link before the first signer which is incorrect to the routing order!!this is my payload for that request.{ "recipient": { "signers": [ { "email": "test101@gmail.com", "name": "test-101", "clientUserId": "101", "signHere": { "anchorXOffset": "250", "anchorYOffset": "500", "documentId": "1", "pageNumber": "1" }, "routingOrder": "0" },{ "email": "test102@gmail.com", "name": "test-102", "clientUserId": "

Anchor String not populating value from JSON payload

Hello Everyone,I have a quick query regarding the anchor string feature of DocuSign. I have a web app that allows users to select documents to preview them first. If everything looks good, they can proceed with e-Signing.To achieve this, I have set up two templates in my DocuSign account:Preview with Viewer role: This sends the envelope to the current logged-in user for previewing. If everything looks correct, The user can then proceed with the e-Signing process using the second DocuSign template with the Signer role.Everything is working in the flow as expected, except for the part where the user wants to preview the envelope. The user is receiving the envelope, but the documents within the envelope have empty anchor string values. However, when the user actually sends the envelope for e-signing(Signer Role), we can see that the anchor string values are populated correctly in the documents under the envelope.I'm wondering if this is by design, or if there's something I'm missing or do

Anchor strings not populating dynamic data for role Viewer

Hello everyone,I'm encountering an issue with my HTTP request to DocuSign's create envelope function, and I'm unsure if it's by design or if something is broken.In my development DocuSign account, I have two templates: one for preview with just one 'Viewer' role, and another for e-Signature with a 'Signer' role. Sometimes, users want to preview documents before sending them for eSignature. In such cases, they select the preview option, and I make a call to my first template with the 'Viewer' role, and they receive the envelope in their email to preview it.Everything works fine up to this point. However, when users open the documents, they don't see any data corresponding to the anchor strings I've configured in the JSON payload for DocuSign. On the other hand, when users actually send the envelope using the second template, they can see the anchor strings properly populated at the desired locations.So, I'm a little confused. Is it by design that envelopes with 'Viewer' roles can't see

SMS Authentication Phone Number Validation

Is there any kind of data validation on the DocuSign side for the EnvelopeRecipient smsAuthentication.senderProvidedNumbers array? Does this field assume the values in the senderProvidedNumbers array are valid phone numbers? We are working to support both international and domestic phone numbers, and wanted to know if there was any kind of formatting or other validation logic for this field, i.e. adding a “+” for international numbers, to account for.

dateSignedTabs

Hello,I'm making an API call to DocuSign to automatically insert the "date signed" into the document.Below is the API request payload:"dateSignedTabs": [ { "anchorString": "Date", "anchorYOffset": "-1", "fontSize": "Size12", "name": "Date Signed", "recipientId": "1", "tabLabel": "date_signed" }]The issue is that this results in placing the date everywhere it finds the string 'Date' in the document. I want to restrict it to only one place where the actual date is needed. Any suggestions or help? Thanks,Kishor

Purchase Request Routing - Requester may sometimes be an approver.

I’ve been struggling with the best way to automate one of our form workflows with Docusign and the only way I’ve found to do it is with two separate templates. I’m hoping to get some tips on using conditional routing to simplify my solution.Here is a summary.I have a purchase request form with a possibility of 3 recipients.Requester Approver PurchaserIf the form is filled out by a VP, SVP, CEO, etc. the requester completes and signs the form (In this case, the requester is also the approver). Next, the purchaser places the order, adds notes to the form, and marks it completed.If the form is filled out by an employee who is not a VP, the requester completes the form. The form is then sent to a VP for approval and then the purchaser who places the order adds notes and marks the form complete.My current solution using the DocuSign API is.The requester clicks on a link from a page on our Intranet.If the requester is determined to be a VP or above,generate an envelope from the “VP Purchase
