  1. I can’t create a Docusign developer account - when filling out the form and submitting, the subsequent “clock” just spins and spins forever.  Have tried two computers and two different browsers.    I’ve seen some other mentions of this issue but no resolution. help?


The api response like thie 

 

{

"id": "abc",

"done": false,

"state": "abc",

"challenges": c

"ActionRuleEngine"

],

"version": 1

}

Hello ​@mlpameer,

Thank you for reaching out, and a warm welcome to the Docusign Community! We are absolutely delighted to have you here and can't wait to share our knowledge with you.

I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with creating a Developer account. Rest assured I'll make my best effort to help you.

Is this where you tried to create an account: Docusign Developer Account

I understand you've already tried to use 2 different devices and browsers. Can you please try some other troubleshooting below

  • Check if the browser needs to be updated.
  • Clear history and cache/cookies and set it to "All time."
  • Try to use Incognito. 
  • Different Internet network, such as on a mobile device using data with Wi-Fi disabled.
  • Enable/disable VPN if applicable.

I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you!

 

Best regards,

I'm facing the exact same problem as others have mentioned here, and I'm out of options.

I'm trying to create a developer account using this link: DocuSign Developer Account

We’re currently on the free version, just testing things out to see if DocuSign is the right fit for our needs.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

  • Registering from different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)

  • Using Incognito mode

  • Using a VPN

  • Clearing cache and cookies

  • Trying different email addresses

Still, nothing seems to work — either the form doesn’t submit, or I never receive a confirmation email. No error messages either.

Has anyone found a workaround or had success registering recently?

Any help is appreciated

Hello ​@Ons,

Thank you for reaching out, and a warm welcome to the Docusign Community! We are absolutely delighted to have you here and can't wait to share our knowledge with you.

I am sorry about your issue with creating a Developer account. Let's work together to sort this out. 

Could you please try this link: Docusign Developer Account? I've reviewed the troubleshooting steps you've taken and noticed that you haven't attempted this on a different device. Could we test this? Also, is this your first time creating a Developer account? Other customers I've assisted with this issue found multiple Docusign accounts associated with the email address in Pending Activation, the work email address used is claimed by an Organization, or doesn't allow using the emails outside their work tools. Any additional information you can provide would be helpful. 

I’m here to help and look forward to your update. Thank you!

 

Best regards,

@mlpameer ​@Ons 

Our customers meet this issue for more than 2 months. As we created case with customer support team and got the final reply for your reference:

This request still blocked by the service protection team. We don't have any better way to address this. For any sign up request, if this is blocked, could you please raise this with us, and we need to manually raise it with service protection team to review if that is a false positive. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Hey adding to the pile here. I have a client that needs this integrated into their CRM and im about to advise them to use another product. 

Looks like you had 2months on this issue so far and i would thing clients no being able to sign up for one of your products would be high priority. Really questioning how you will handle things when and at this point IF we move to a prod plan. 

 

Blocked by protect-d.docusign.net API

 

I'm trying to sign up for a free Developer Sandbox account, but the “Get Started” button on https://developers.docusign.com is unresponsive.

After inspecting the network traffic, I found that a request is being made to:

 

 

https://protect-d.docusign.net/api/2.0/approvals?ik=89220935-c225-4fcf-9eb7-547598b97a7b

The response from this API returns:

{ "id": "a2e37735-90c6-42f1-b94f-9285f3baa46f", "done": false, "challenges": l"ActionRuleEngine"], "version": 1 }

This appears to be part of DocuSign’s behavioral challenge (fraud protection) system, and it seems to be incorrectly flagging my request. I’ve tested this:

  • In multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)

  • In Incognito/Private mode

  • From a residential IP, not behind a corporate network or VPN

  • From my phone

I also attempted to go directly to https://account-d.docusign.com and click “Need an account?”, but this also did not allow me to complete registration. I suspect the behavioral fingerprint may be blocking it.

Can you assist in bypassing or resolving this so I can complete registration and access the sandbox environment? If helpful, I can provide the full API payload sent in the request.

Thank you,
Evander Francis

Hey ​@Hengfeng Ge 
Thanks for the quick reply.
I am building them a custom CRM from scratch. There is not too many options amiable for mortuary services and the requirements they have. They have not signed up for services yet. 
Im simply using my personal business account to review the developer tools to integrate Docusign. Currently my main focus is on the WbHooks to track Document Status i.e. Delivered, Signed ect…
Then looking into any other tools that are available to see how else i can integrate.

Hello ​@r3dw0lf12,

We apologize for the difficulties with the registration. I'm checking in to see if you are still experiencing the error. If so, we recommend opening a support case so our Technical team can review the registration attempt and the specific error message received. 👉Open a case in the Docusign Support Center

For free accounts, the workaround for creating a case is to use the bottom part of the page, which allows you to submit a case without logging in to an account. Link: Get Support

Let us know if you need further assistance. Thank you!
