Hi Team,

I am using REST API to create envelope and get it signed by supplier. Once its signed, on top of that signed document we need to add CEO signature automatically. Is it possible in DocuSign. I see its not possible to add directly on my analysis. Can we use composite templates to get this done. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ​@VDK567,

No, you can't automatically sign a document using the standard Docusign eSignature API in a way that bypasses user interaction. The core principle of Docusign's eSignature platform and its APIs is to ensure that a human signer has an opportunity to review and consent to the document. This is a critical legal requirement for an electronic signature to be valid.

I hope the information above is useful.

Best,
