Returning the templateId is not good enough.  It is normal RESTful best practice to include newly minted identifiers that may be useful for subsequent API calls.

In this case, the documentIdGuid is needed for the Agreement Template Builder to update the Sender Fields with values.

Thanks so much for submitting this idea ​@Scott.Nieman! After review, it looks like you should be seeing the document ID in the response to the EnvelopeTemplates: apply endpoint. I see documentId in the response object here. If you’re not seeing that in your response for some reason, let us know and we can look into it.
