I'm currently facing a challenge with a Power Automate flow that I've set up to generate a document and send it out for signing. The process seems straightforward, as illustrated in the flow diagram below:

 

However, I've encountered a problem similar to the one discussed in this thread: Anchor tab missing + Creating envelope in Powerautomate from pdf | Community (docusign.com). The difference in my case is that I'm working with a DOCX file rather than a PDF.

The flow successfully retrieves the file content from the specified path, as shown here:

The content is then added to the envelope without any apparent issues. However, I suspect that the base64 decoding step might be causing the signature tab to disappear, even though it is visible within the DOCX file itself.

Could the base64 decoding be responsible for removing my signature tab? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any insights on how to resolve this?

I apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause you, the link that you are referencing, when I opened it shows an invalid address/post, would it be possible for you to provide it one more time?

I am having the same issue. Following this example in the Docusign documentation, https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&rsc_301=&bundleId=gqy1619537336307&topicId=bxu1647454639958.html&_LANG=enus, the Microsoft Automate Flow fails on the “Add tabs for a recipient on an envelope” action with an error indicating that the tab string cannot be found in the document.

As stated in the original post, I also believe that the base64 encoding is preventing the tab string from being found.

Additional Information:

Flow generates Word document

 

Add documents to an envelope action code:

{

  "type": "OpenApiConnection",

  "inputs": {

    "parameters": {

      "accountId": "6d2d0dec-25a6-42a7-969b-d20e50ea44f8",

      "envelopeId": "@outputs('<action_name>)?a'body/envelopeId']",

      "body/documents":

        {

          "documentBase64": "@base64(body(<Word Document>))",

          "fileExtension": "docx",

          "name": "Offer Letter"

        }

      ]

    },

    "host": {

      "apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_docusigndemo",

      "connection": "shared_docusigndemo",

      "operationId": "AddDocumentsToEnvelope"

    }

  },

  "runAfter": {

    "Create_Offer_Letter_envelope": >

      "Succeeded"

    ]

  }

}

 

Error Message:

{

"errorCode": "ANCHOR_TAB_STRING_NOT_FOUND",

"message": "The specified Anchor Tab string was not found in the document. Anchor Tab String \"/s/\" not found."

}

Hello @degleston_provato,

Thank you for reaching out to the Docusign Community.

To clarify, does the document that you are using contains the anchor tags?
