I am new to Docusign and we have a requirement to integrate Docusign in our web app. I have gone through all the links for integrating docusign into a web app using REST Api calls. After thorough read and watching youtube videos, I came to know that we can integrate docusign in our web app through REST API calls but for the same additionally we need to develop our own UI to upload documents and send it to the recipient. But basically we are looking something where we can be reidrected to docusign from our webapp to perform all the operations of sending document for signing and once document is sent then I will be redirected back to our web app.
Kindly help with the above query and let me know if my understanding is correct for integration of docusign and for the same developing our own UI in our web app. Also please let me know if there is any alternative to fullfill the requirement of directly accessing docusign from our web app and performing all required operations of sending a document to recipient.
Thanks in advance!
So you want a button on your web app that says "Sign with DocuSign" and then what?
Most customers who want to send from their web app already have the documents controlled by their web app.
They:
authenticate the user with DocuSign (OAuth Authorization Code Grant)
Upload the document to DocuSign from their app.
Add tabs (signing fields) to the documents programmatically. (This is not hard and it saves the sender a lot of work.)
Upload the recipients (signers, copy-only recipients, etc)
And then tell DocuSign to send the envelope (the transaction).
Applications can also monitor the progress of the envelope through the signing process and programatically act on the signed documents.
The above is not hard to do and provides a good user experience.
You can also redirect the user of your application to DocuSign to accomplish any/all of the above manually. But the more the user does manually, the less convenient the integration will be for them.
If you want the manual experience, check out the EnvelopeViews::createSender method.

How to get the link to download the submitted powerform. The PDF file will be sent to the email and it is downloadable from the docuSign admin also. But I need to provide a link to download the submitted file for an admin user on my website. is it possible?
Yes, it's possible, but you will have to build a web app.
The web app you built will have and endpoint that takes an envelopeID and returns back a PDF. It will call the DocuSign eSignature REST API every time someone is requesting to download an envelope and will provide it.
You can use JWT to authenticate your web app impersonating the administrator of this account so you always have access to download any envelope.
Note that if you build something like this, you're exposing the envelopes in your account to anyone that knows the URLs , so it's not recommended to do so unless you know your account is only used for non-sensitive documents.
I'm trying to achieve some requirements via Docusign APIs. Would like to know if it's possible before I start the project.
I've used Docusign app for Salesforce earlier, but now I'm trying to achieve some functionalities through API calls
Ability for a Signed Document sent to a contact (by clicking on a button on contact record) to be attached to the Contact record it was sent from
Ability to write back to the record from a field tagged on the DocuSign envelope
Vinay, this functionality is available using the DocuSign for Salesforce integration. If you would like to write it yourself using APIs, you can start by looking at our Apex toolkit here - https://developers.docusign.com/salesforce/guides/apex-toolkit
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.
I want to add the docusign API with my application I create the docusign development account. I dont want to go mail to the signer. Its work automatically when my a user enter in my website and click to button go to docosign application. How i can do that. any one can help me?
Marco is right that you need to be careful about how you authenticate users who are coming into your application. The proof that the signature took place is only as strong as your authentication system. DocuSign has over 7 security options and the e-mail activation gives it more validity.
Having said all that you can absolutely embed DocuSign into your application. Here is a walkthrough on how you can embed DocuSign into your web application: https://www.docusign.com/developer-center/quick-start/embedded-signing
You cannot have a link in your application because this would reduce the value of the electronic signature: it would be more difficult to proof that the real signatory signed the document if the link was accessible not only to the recipient of the email.
DocuSign wants to be sure that their servers are the only one who manage the links for signatories.
There is no API to get the link.
Our company wants to use DocuSign API to allow its users to upload a set of documents. Once a user goes through our online application, our application will call the Docusign API in the end and display the list of documents that they need to upload. Once the user is done uploading all the documents, then the admin should receive an email about the completion.
Can anyone direct me in the right direction..where I can find documentation regarding it? Most of the documentation talks about ESignatures of already created templates.
Thanks.
