Here are some of the latest popular questions that developers asked in the Docusign Community for the month of January 2026.
CORS error on redirection error
Summary: The developer has built an application using Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) and they’re seeing the following error when trying to load the recipient view in an iframe: The connection is blocked because it was initiated by a public page to connect to devices or servers on your local network.
Answer: This error is likely due to the browsers local network access and is not originating from Docusign. In order to minimize errors when embedding the recipient view in your app, we recommend using focused view, which works similarly to an iframe but is built and managed by Docusign.
Docusign Connect webhook does not send the PDFBytes in the payload
Summary: The developer is using Docusign Connect to get notifications when an envelope is completed. Their webhook is receiving a payload as expected but the payload does not include the PDF of the signed document. The developer wants to modify the request so that the PDF is included in the Connect notification.
Answer: To ensure that the document is included in the Connect payload, the Connect configuration settings need to be updated. To find this setting, go to the Trigger Events setting, then expand the Envelopes and Recipients, and expand Include Data. Then select the checkbox for Documents.
Gaps in the Envelope Template when filling via API
Summary: The developer is using a template that contains prefilled tabs. The tabs have a fixed width, but the values of the tabs are dynamic, so sometimes the tab appears to have a large visible gap. The developer wants to know if it’s possible to automatically resize the tab depending on what value is input in it, and whether using anchor tabs will change this behavior.
Answer: Unfortunately, it’s not possible to automatically resize tabs based on their values if a fixed width has been set for that tab via the API or UI. If you don’t set a width for the tab, the tab can expand to fit the data entered in it. This behavior is the same whether you use anchor tabs or not. Another potential solution could be for the developer to look into using Document Generation for eSignature.
