Hello Ideas team,

We advice all of our customer migrate to new send view as this document told:

https://www.docusign.com/blog/developers/esignature-rest-api-embedded-correct-view-updated?msockid=13eac2ad5d496fc10dc3d62c5c416ee9

and also can find the document:

https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/envelopes/envelopeviews/createsender/

we find the setting as below:

{
"returnUrl": "<url>", // URL required
"viewAccess": "envelope", // required
"settings": {
"startingScreen": "Prepare", // (default) or "Tagger"
"sendButtonAction": "send", // (default), "redirect"
"showBackButton": "true", // (default), "false"
"backButtonAction": "previousPage", // (default), "redirect"
"showHeaderActions": "true", // (default), "false"
"showDiscardAction": "true", // (default), "false"
"lockToken": token_value,
"recipientSettings": {
"showEditRecipients": "true", // (default), "false"
"showContactsList": "true" // (default), "false"
},
"documentSettings": {
"showEditDocuments": "true", // (def,ault), "false"
"showEditDocumentVisibility": "true" // (default), "false"
"showEditPages": "true", // (default), "false"
},
"taggerSettings": {
"paletteSections": "default", // (default), "none", "custom"
"paletteDefault": "custom" // "merge", "notary", "seals",
// "smartContracts", "annotations",
// "smartSections"
}
}
}
}

Now the customer want add validate parameter for send button. We can define paramter for signature in the setting, so it will check whether the sender have drag signture for every signer before send. sometime the sender forget drag signature for other signer except the first one. if the sender not drag, will throw the error that he need to drag the signature for which signer.

Thanks so much for your idea, ​@Hengfeng Ge

Yes, while you can require fields per recipient, there’s no built-in setting that makes sure each recipient has at least one signature field before sending the envelope, so that check needs to be handled during template or envelope creation. A possible workaround would be to add a pre-send verification step in your integration to check that each recipient has at least one signing tab before making the POST call to send the envelope.

You can get more details on that here:
