Error calling CreateRecepientView: Unknown_envelope_Recipient - docusignapi

Question

Would like to generate a DocuSign Url to embed to a web application.
Got below print screen. Questions
1 Where to get the "SignerCliendId"(the 3rd parameter of MakeRecipientViewRequest)?
2 How to handle "Unknown_envelope_Recipient"?

Thanks

Answer 1

I set the clientUserId = '1000', in MakeEnvelope() using the below code.
Signer1.ClientUserId = "1000"
and used RecipientViewRequest
viewRequest = MakeRecipientViewRequest(signerEmail, signerName, "1000");
Then, it works!

Answer 2

I cannot see your MakeRecipientViewRequest() method, but look below I provide
the C# code that does what you need. The issue here is that you must match the recipient (singer) information for which you are generating a signer view. The system wasn't able to find such a recipient and that's why you got the error.
(I also noticed you use a template, so may need to check how that was done too)
RecipientViewRequest viewRequest = MakeRecipientViewRequest(signerEmail, signerName);
private RecipientViewRequest MakeRecipientViewRequest(string signerEmail, string signerName)
{
// Data for this method
// signerEmail
// signerName
// dsPingUrl -- class global
// signerClientId -- class global
// dsReturnUrl -- class global
RecipientViewRequest viewRequest = new RecipientViewRequest();
// Set the url where you want the recipient to go once they are done signing
// should typically be a callback route somewhere in your app.
// The query parameter is included as an example of how
// to save/recover state information during the redirect to
// the DocuSign signing ceremony. It's usually better to use
// the session mechanism of your web framework. Query parameters
// can be changed/spoofed very easily.
viewRequest.ReturnUrl = dsReturnUrl + "?state=123";
// How has your app authenticated the user? In addition to your app's
// authentication, you can include authenticate steps from DocuSign.
// Eg, SMS authentication
viewRequest.AuthenticationMethod = "none";
// Recipient information must match embedded recipient info
// we used to create the envelope.
viewRequest.Email = signerEmail;
viewRequest.UserName = signerName;
viewRequest.ClientUserId = signerClientId;
// DocuSign recommends that you redirect to DocuSign for the
// Signing Ceremony. There are multiple ways to save state.
// To maintain your application's session, use the pingUrl
// parameter. It causes the DocuSign Signing Ceremony web page
// (not the DocuSign server) to send pings via AJAX to your
// app,
viewRequest.PingFrequency = "600"; // seconds
// NOTE: The pings will only be sent if the pingUrl is an https address
viewRequest.PingUrl = dsPingUrl; // optional setting
return viewRequest;
}
