Developer Portal blank screen after login — /api/user/settings returns 500

Hello everyone,I’m encountering a problem when accessing the DocuSign Developer Portal:- URL: https://developers.docusign.com/platform/account/ - After logging in, the page stays completely blank (only the header appears).- In DevTools Network tab, the request to `/api/user/settings` returns HTTP 500.- On the console, I see the error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'account_name')Steps already tried:- Tested in Chrome and Edge (both latest versions).- Cleared cache and cookies, used incognito mode.- Tried on different networks and devices.- Extensions like AdBlock are not the root cause.It seems the frontend cannot proceed without user settings. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any workaround, or is there a direct way to reset or repair account settings?Thank you for your help!

Here are some of the latest popular questions that developers asked on StackOverflow and Docusign Community in the month of August 2025.Thread: Is it necessary to update BaseUri for Rest EndPoints because of the move to Azurehttps://community.docusign.com/esignature-api-63/it-it-necessary-to-update-baseuri-for-rest-endpoints-because-of-the-move-to-azure-25268Summary: In light of the announcement that Docusign eSignature transactions are moving to Microsoft Azure, this developer is wondering if they need to make any changes to the base URI of the endpoints that they’re using.Answer: With the move to Azure, the base URI is not changing. The only change that developers may need to make is that, if your organization restricts inbound network connections and allow-lists specific Docusign IP addresses, you’ll need to update your allow-list to include all current Docusign IP ranges. IP allow-listing: Make sure your allow-list includes all current Docusign IP ranges from our Trust Center by De

FAQ: How to embed Docusign eSignature in your app (from our developer AMA)

Curious about creating a smooth, in-app signing experience with Docusign? We recently hosted an async Ask Me Anything (AMA) with @paige.rossi, Lead Developer Advocate at Docusign, where developers submitted their questions on embedding eSignature using the Docusign API.Below is a recap of the top questions and their answers.What’s the difference between embedded signing and embedded sending?Answer: These two terms sound similar but serve different purposes in your Docusign integration. Embedded signing lets signers complete documents within your app or website, instead of navigating away to check their email. It’s all about making the signing experience faster and smoother for your users. Embedded sending, on the other hand, is for the senders. It allows you to embed the Docusign sending experience into your own app or portal, so users can create and send envelopes without going to Docusign.com. Why does this matter?By embedding either (or both), you streamline the agreement workflo

They’ve noticed that the text in these new tabs is always left-aligned, while some of the tabs on the original PDF were center-aligned. They want to know if it’s possible to realign these new tabs to match the alignment in the original document.Answer: Docusign eSignature always left-aligns all tabs and fields. Currently, there's no option to change their alignment to right or center, whether they were added manually or transformed. If you want to change where the text in a tab appears, you would need to reposition the tab itself. Thread:

POST/CON 2025

🎉 Big news from the Docusign developer team—we’re honored to be named a 2025 Postman Champion Award winner! This recognition means a lot to us. Over the past year, we’ve focused on making our APIs easier to work with, more reliable at scale, and better supported with tooling and documentation. Whether you're embedding Docusign into your workflows or building complex integrations, we aim to make that experience as smooth and developer-friendly as possible. I had a fantastic time participating in this year’s POST/CON. The event was filled with in-depth technical sessions, and two topics particularly stood out: scaling APIs for performance and reliability, and fostering strong, authentic developer relations by providing developers with interactive content and tools built from developer feedback. These are areas the Developer Advocacy team deeply cares about, and observing how other teams tackle them has sparked many ideas that we're eager to explore further. A huge thank you to the Postm

July 2025 Developer Newsletter: Connected Fields API!News

The July 2025 Developer Newsletter is out! In this month’s issue, we highlight the Connected Fields API. This API lets your Docusign integration poll your Docusign account for installed extensions that can verify data so you can connect those extensions to fields in your Docusign envelopes, thereby enabling on-the-fly data verification for those fields. The Connected Fields API works with prebuilt Docusign data verification types as well as custom types defined using Connected Fields extension apps, so you can build an extension to verify any data you like against any system of record you choose, then use that data verification directly in your integration!More July Newsletter highlights:Paige Rossi shows you how to integrate Stripe payments processing into your Maestro workflows with the Stripe extension app. See how to auto-read data into your workflows with data IO extension apps.
