I have a web application integrated with DocuSign API, to pass in recipient details to a DocuSign template and initiate signing process. The template has tags for each recipient to enter relevant information and sign.
Once the document is completed/signed by all recipients, the information available in the document needs to be passed on to another web application bound to a DB. What are the options available in DocuSign to trigger document data(e.g. recipient1 signed date) transferred to a DB/other systems on document completion? Any advice on this is appreciated.
You probably need to provide more specific information but generally, you can use DocuSign Connect and configure your API source to integrate the data. After that, you will be able to use webhooks (or Connect) to send tabs data and signing statuses to your 'other systems'.
Once you get your Connect figured out, you can then have GET request using this
{{baseUrl}}/envelopes/{{envelopeId}}/recipients?include_tabs=true
and then have a wrapper class to export desired tabs (ex. Date Signed or other Text Tabs)
OR you can configure a webhook to sync your data between DocuSign and other systems:

I am an admin account user and to get insights from data I need to pull the details of all the envelopes from all accounts. The similar thing is what a report provides in Docusign dashboard but I need the list of recipients as well. Can anyone please help me. Thanks.
Listing envelopes sent by your users: Envelopes::listStatusChanges
I think that call may cover envelopes sent by anyone in your account (if the accessToken represents a user with admin privileges). But I'm not sure.
If it doesn't then you can loop through the account's users.
Tracking who has received an envelope through their DocuSign account is done with the Folders::listItems API call. You may need to list both the Inbox and Deleted folders. You also need to check that the person signed the specific envelope vs receiving it for some other reason (cc, certified copy, etc).
Finally, an alternative if you have higher volumes is to purchase the DocuSign Report Feed product (see note below). It will send you DB table dumps about your account activity on a regular basis so you can do your own reporting on DocuSign activity. It is the best way to have full access to report data. Ask your DocuSign contact for more info.
Note: I'm not sure of the exact name for the reporting product.
This can be done if you install DocuSign for Salesforce managed package and use Connect feature in DocuSign. Configure your webhooks to create DocuSign Status and DocuSign Recipient Status records for each send. Any DocuSign objects or custom object can be used in the Connect configuration, after selecting objects, select which events you want the results to be pushed back to Salesforce.
Use a parent object to store envelope details and child object for the recipient data. Use Envelope Id to relate the child records to the parent. Eventually, you will be able to build various reports on Salesforce.

I am using DocuSign api for my client website portal as customer documents digital process. Everything works great except one feature needed.
I am creating dynamic document (with php) and sending to customer via DocuSign api to sign (using DocuSign digital signature setup).
And i have added 'check status' button in my website to check that specific document/envelope (by forwarding envelope unique id to DocuSign api get envelope status) and updating in my database and also downloading that signed document from docUsign.
Now i need the above process to be done automatically which means when the customer signs, a callback should trigger to my website url (like some webhook i need setup) and then i will check that envelop status and update my database.
Can any one give some suggestions or code snippet where i can keep that webhook url option to get auto response from DocuSign (just like paypal IPN)
Thanks in Advance
You can use DocuSign Connect to do exactly what you've described. Using DocuSign Connect, you can configure DocuSign to automatically push Envelope status and documents to an endpoint you specify when the Envelope event(s) you specify occur (for example, Recipient completes/submits an Envelope, or Envelope reaches status = completed, etc.).
DocuSign has published several code samples that show how to use DocuSign Connect. For example:
PHP and Python webhook sample
C# webhook sample
Node webhook sample
Java webhook sample
These samples (and others) can be found in the DocuSign GitHub org.
createSender creates a URL, which I would like to use to let the sender preview the document before it's send out. Hence the documents are created using templates and and the API.
The link which is created would lead me out of my UI. Does the user need to sign in? Future plan is to have many user's, which have no DocuSign account.
For embedded sending Your app will have to authenticate the user. If you are doing a Service Integration then your Api account will be used as the sender.
Once the sending url is generated using the createSenderView api, there is no authentication required to access the URL.
You also have an option to build a User Application using the docusign Api where your App can support sending from multiple accounts.
The createSenderView requires that the person is a DocuSign user (with their own account and password).
Only DocuSign users can send. We charge for sending, not for signing or receiving.
What exactly do you want to preview? (And why?)
the documents themselves? Use the EnvelopeDocuments resource. You can also preview the thumbnails of the documents.
the documents with the "fields" ("tabs") that indicate where people will sign? I'm not sure that is do-able.
or the recipients and their routing order? Use EnvelopeRecipients: list method.
Added
Another solution is to use a dummy certified delivery "recipient". Add this recipient as the first recipient. This will block the envelope from proceeding on the recipient routing.
Then get the envelope's documents to show as a preview.
Then, if ok, alter the envelope's recipients to remove the certified delivery recipient. The envelope will then continue on with the first "real" recipient.
DocuSign has a Correcting option (to correct an envelope after it has been sent and before it is signed by the recipient) when you are logged into their site - is there a way to utilize this functionality through SFDC through a web service API? Where we send the unique envelope ID and the changed data to DocuSign, and they in turn revise the doc in the background? The recipient will see the updated document when he accesses the document to sign it.
Yes, you could do this from within an Apex class on SFDC. Don't use a trigger for the class, only a Lightening or force page, since triggered classes have too many restrictions on callouts to other services.
I create a pdf on our system and then pass that to docusign for the user to sign. I want to automatically download and save the signed envelopes in our system. Is there a way for docusign to send a post request after the document is signed?
Right now, I randomly (every other hour) connect to docusign and check if the envelope is signed using the docusign api, but this is really not optimal. There are a lot of users who view the pdf in docusign and decide they don't want to sign the document.
The "DocuSign Connect" feature is designed to do exactly that -- send a POST to an endpoint you specify, in real-time, as specified Envelope events occur. Basically it works like this: you build a "listener" app (i.e., a web page that will receive POSTs from Connect), you configure Connect (within your DocuSign account (Preferences >> Connect) to specify the endpoint of your "listener" and select which Envelope events you want your listener to receive notifications for, etc., and once that Connect configuration is enabled, DocuSign will send a POST to your listener endpoint whenever the specified Envelope event(s) occur.
The DocuSign Connect Service Guide (https://10226ec94e53f4ca538f-0035e62ac0d194a46695a3b225d72cc8.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/connect-guide.pdf) describes Connect and how to configure/use it -- I'd suggest that you start by reviewing the guide, and post any additional questions here on SO if you run into any issues implementing Connect.
