DocuSign API question - template utilization - docusignapi

We are trying to set up a DocuSign API where we utilize information put in by the user on a website and then send that to our DocuSign account to have a template applied to it. When we are trying to create this scenario do we still need to have the API "tabs" section in the payload that is being sent to DocuSign? Our documents being sent will already have the anchor tags placed into them by another program (Smart Communications).
Thank you.

I am not familiar with Smart Communications. When you send the envelope request (either via a template or directly) you need to specify where the tabs are located.
That tab information can come from any resource (perhaps Smart Communications). If you can elaborate more on your scenario (in terms of how Smart Com works etc.) I can give you a more specific answer. Thank you.

Does docusign webhooks notify about template changes

Use Case -
We are an origanization who helps universities manage the sport activities and contract of their students. We are planning to integrate docusign in our system both web and mobile app. One feature that we need is the information regarding the created templates, is there a way to get notified about templates via webhooks(like when it was last used, or created).
So, webhooks may not be suitable to know when a new template is created, because currently the webhook is tied to an existing object, and the object is not yet there, so it's a catch22.
What you can use instead is the DocuSign Monitor API. It's a different approach, but using this API, you can get data about anything that happens in the DocuSign account, including templates.
You can make raw API calls, or use the Monitor SDKs for one of six languages.
I'm not 100% on this but one approach would be to use folders. Put your templates in a named folder and use the listStatusChanges API with a folder id as a query parameter (https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/how-to/list-envelope-status-changes/)
You can also select "Folders" in the "Include Data:" section of your DocuSign Connect webhook and filter for the folder(s) you're looking for.

is there rest APIs to create an agreement using a predefined template in Docusign CLM?

I want to integrate a web portal with DocuSign CLM. I have few form fields and a template in DocuSign CLM.
I want to perform the below tasks from the portal:
Mapping fields value sent from portal to form fields in the template
Generate an agreement using the template
View the agreement
Send it for e-signature
I want to know all CLM rest APIs that will allow me to use this programmatically from the frontend by passing values from our portal to CLM.
I went through the below CLM rest API docs but it didn't help much.
(https://developers.docusign.com/docs/clm-api/)
Any help would be appreciated.
according to my teammates at DocuSign, you have to process all of your XML before you send it so that it is compatible with the merge template you’re sending it to.
This documentation may be helpful to look further into your question: https://developers.docusign.com/docs/clm-api/reference/tasks/documentxmlmergetasks/
this is not a question but rather a demand and is not in the spirit of the stackoverflow. I suggest that you either start doing research to better understand the space that you are working in or find a partner or engage with Professional services
Here are some links to get you started.

Is it possible to simulate signing of a document via DocuSign API?

I'm working on testing our application and have the need to simulate signing of a document via the API. These aren't real documents I just need to be able to set the signing the order in a specific order but I don't receive emails for recipients until the previous one has signed. So is it possible to use the DocuSign API to sign a "Sign Here" tab? Or do I have any other options?
I haven't been able to find any clear information on this topic although I fear the answer is not. Looking through DocuSign's REST API there's a couple of endpoints that suggests I might be able to do this but I'm not quite sure it's referencing what I'm looking to do. The following endpoint has a GET and PUT function but not sure it's what I want.
{{baseUrl}}/envelopes/{{envelopeId}}/recipients/{{recipientId}}/signature_image
No, the DocuSign API does not have a functionality for 'robo-signing'.
If the goal is to check routing order, you could change a Signer to a Carbon Copy recipient: CC roles are immediately completed.
For reference, the signature_image API calls allow you to view or change a user's adopted signatures. They shouldn't be used to apply a signature to a document.

DocuSign API Create Envelope

Currently I am using #DocuSignAPI to create envelope in which API required x and y position to add signature from recipients.
So my requirement is like if i upload the document it should be redirect to the Docusign UI where recipient would login and sign the document.
So the thing is instead of creating rest call via API.
I need some api where Docusign is going to handle by its way so i do not need to create UI for that which is very complex to build from my side.
Anyone can help me with is will be really great.
Thanks in advance
Check out this DocuSign recipe: Sign from Your App.
This sample (and many others) are available on the DocuSign Developer Center, along with tons of documentation about various integration scenarios and API reference.

send document to a group of people:: Any one able to sign

We are using SOAP API with Document option. In regular way we do attach Recipient Id to Signature Tab to send a document for Signature, in this case only one signer can do sign on Signature tab.
We need to send a Document to group of people where anyone in the group should be able to sign on it.
I have come across a concept in DocuSign call it as "Signing Group" for this we need create group manually in the DocuSign account using all required email addresses.
But as per our requirement Email addresses are not static, Email addresses are dynamic that will vary every time we do send the document.
*Signing group option is might not relevant to our requirement. Is there any other go to achieve it...?
Thanks,
Vishwa
Based upon the current DocuSign API Documentation, it seems that the SOAP API does not support management of signing groups (create/delete/get/list/update) at this time. However, the DocuSign REST API does provide that type of functionality: https://docs.docusign.com/esign/restapi/SigningGroups/SigningGroups/
