Support for signature types in the API

Question

Hi,I'm working on integrating a document workflow system with DocuSign via API. I'd like to know if the API allows me to initiate the signature type that someone within my company or a contractor should use to sign a document. Should it be: Electronic Signature, DS Email Signature, EU Advanced Electronic Signature (AES), or EU Qualified Electronic Signature (QES).

Hi ​@Lukasz,Yesthe API allows youto initiate the signature type that someone within yourcompany or a contractor should use to sign a document. When you create an envelope you can use the property (recipientSignatureProviders and signatureProviderName) of the signer recipient to specify the signature type you want.Please consult the article below to learn more.https://www.docusign.com/blog/developers/docusign-esignature-types-part-ii"recipientSignatureProviders": [           {             "signatureProviderName": "universalsignaturepen_opentrust_hash_tsp",             "signatureProviderOptions": {               "oneTimePassword": "1111"             }           }         ]Code example in the article above uses EU Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) by setting the propertysignatureProviderName to “UniversalSignaturePen_OpenTrust_Hash_TSP”The article below explains differentSignature provider options you can use, for example for Email signature you set theproperty signatureProviderName to “ds_email”.https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/esign101/concepts/standards-based-signatures/
