SenderView - Do I create a SenderView Preview URL everytime ? or retain url

Question

Hi Team,

Working on an integration utilizing template and sending an envelope. Before sending I want to generate a preview url. This preview url is different everytime I hit the api. How long does this preview url lasts? whats the best practice on generating sender views?

Should I retain the generated url until the envelope is sent ?

Sender API

HelloThe Sender View Preview URLgenerated through the DocuSign API is a temporary, one-time-use URL that is unique every time it is created. These URLs typically expire after five minutes or as soon as they are accessed. Therefore, it is not recommended to retain the generated URL until the envelope is sent, as it may expire before being used. The best practice is to generate the Sender View URL only when the sender is ready to access the envelope for preview or editing. Since the URL is intended for immediate use, it should not be stored or reused .https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/envelopes/envelopeviews/createsender/ThankyouSai

hi ​@Sai.Dandamudi I have additional question.I opened this preview url in an iframe within samewindow. Can I receive messages on my window where I opened an Iframe within my app. [I dont want create a seperatepage to handle theredirect and then create a postmessage to window.parent as suggested in the docs]I opened this generated preview url and plugged into an iframe.Also registered for window.addeventListener(“message”, handler) in my component where I am setting preview Url. I was hoping I wouldreceive different messages like envelope “sent” event and other eventsbut this doesnt seem to work.Would you help me with the best practise.I also came across this doc mentioning docusign jswhich is what I was inferring when talking above.But this doesnt seem to work for SenderView ?
