Envelope Tabs removed when using CreateEnvelopeFromTemplates() - docusignapi

Im using the DocuSign API and im having some issues with the recipient not getting the tabs I save on the website ui. I create a template using DocuSign.com and set the recipient to Role=[testRole] Email=[] Name=[] Type=[Sign] under Recipients and routing. Because I have no recipients yet. Then using the api before i send it out i set the recipient to :
//Recipient Info
Recipient recipient = new Recipient();
recipient.Email = recipientEmail;
recipient.UserName = recipientName;
recipient.SignerName = recipientName;
recipient.Type = RecipientTypeCode.Signer;
recipient.RoleName = recipientRoleName;
recipient.ID = "1";
recipient.SignInEachLocationSpecified = true;
recipient.RoutingOrder = 1;
Recipient[] recipients = new Recipient[] { recipient };
//Template reference from server ID
TemplateReference templateReference = new TemplateReference();
templateReference.Template = templateID;
templateReference.TemplateLocation = TemplateLocationCode.Server;
//Envelope Info
EnvelopeInformation envelopeInfo = new EnvelopeInformation();
envelopeInfo.AccountId = AccountID;
envelopeInfo.Subject = subject;
envelopeInfo.EmailBlurb = message;
I set recipient.RoleName to the same thing as i set on the website UI and still the recipient doesn't get the signature tabs. am i missing something here? Or how do i relate the empty recipient i created using the DocuSign UI to the recipient im sending it to so that it has the tabs present?

Figured it out after shooting in the dark for a while. I was so sure the issue was in Recipient but when I took a look at TemplateReference I found RoleAssignments which apparently setting up in Recipient.Role does nothing. You have to set it up in TemplateReference using something like:
//Recipient Role
var recipientRole = new TemplateReferenceRoleAssignment();
recipientRole.RecipientID = "101";
recipientRole.RoleName = recipientRoleName;
//Template reference from server ID
TemplateReference templateReference = new TemplateReference();
templateReference.Template = templateID;
templateReference.TemplateLocation = TemplateLocationCode.Server;
templateReference.RoleAssignments = new TemplateReferenceRoleAssignment[] { recipientRole };

Remove/Correct Identity Verification from a signer from DocuSign SDK

I create an envelope and I want to implement the Correct functionality same as the DocuSign portal from API.
On creation I setup the authentication type to a signer and working perfectly.
Signer signer = new Signer
{
Email = email,
Name = name,
RecipientId = recipientId
};
//On Create
RecipientSMSAuthentication smsAuth = new RecipientSMSAuthentication();
smsAuth.SenderProvidedNumbers = new List<string>();
foreach (var telephone in telephoneNumbers)
{
smsAuth.SenderProvidedNumbers.Add(telephone);
}
signer.IdCheckConfigurationName = "SMS Auth $";
signer.SmsAuthentication = smsAuth;
When I try to correct this signer and remove or change (etc phone) this authentication type is not working
//On Update
signer.IdCheckConfigurationName = "";
signer.SmsAuthentication = null;
I use the UpdateAsync api call
Recipients Recipients = new Recipients();
List<Signer> Signers = new List<Signer>();
Signers.Add(signer);
Recipients.Signers = Signers;
await envelopesApi.UpdateAsync(accountId, envelopeId, new Envelope() { Recipients = Recipients }, new EnvelopesApi.UpdateOptions() { resendEnvelope = "true" });
A couple of things.
First, you're using the old method for SMS verification in this code. A new method which is going to give you more flexibility was introduced recently. It looks like this:
RecipientIdentityVerification workflow = new RecipientIdentityVerification()
{
WorkflowId = workflowId,
InputOptions = new List<RecipientIdentityInputOption> {
new RecipientIdentityInputOption
{
Name = "phone_number_list",
ValueType = "PhoneNumberList",
PhoneNumberList = new List<RecipientIdentityPhoneNumber>
{
new RecipientIdentityPhoneNumber
{
Number = phoneNumber,
CountryCode = countryAreaCode,
}
}
}
}
};
Signer signer1 = new Signer()
{
Name = signerName,
Email = signerEmail,
RoutingOrder = "1",
Status = "Created",
DeliveryMethod = "Email",
RecipientId = "1", //represents your {RECIPIENT_ID},
Tabs = signer1Tabs,
IdentityVerification = workflow,
};
Note that your account may not have the new auth method enabled, you can either create a new developer account or contact support to enable it for you,.
Second, updating recipients of an existing envelopes has some limits. It can only be done if the envelope is in a "Draft" status ("created") and not after it was sent ("sent"). You may need to use the Correct action in that case.

Assign to someone else is enabled in Docusign, but not appearing as an option for recipients

We've enabled "Assign to someone else" in preferences.
Envelopes created via the UI offer recipients the ablity to assign to someone else.
We explicitly set AllowReassign = "true" on envelopes created via the API.
Envelopes created via the API do NOT offer this option.
NOTE: We are NOT using the emails generated by docusign: we are sending our own emails then using the API CreateRecipientView call based on a unique token.
If I use "correct" to edit a sent envelope and add a new recipient, this DOES generate a docusign email, and this new recipient DOES have the option to "assign to someone else" on clicking the link.
What is preventing the "assign to someone else" functionality from working? Might it be our use of CreateRecipientView? Is there a bug? Failing that, what other things can I check?
EDIT - as suggested exmaple code of how we create the envelope
var envDefinition = new EnvelopeDefinition { EmailSubject = emailSubject) };
envDefinition.Documents = new List<Document>();
//Add the email text
envDefinition.EmailSubject = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Title);
envDefinition.EmailBlurb = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Message);
//Add the documents
envDefinition.Documents = PopulateDocuments(documentList, Envelope);
EventNotification evenNotification = new EventNotification
{
LoggingEnabled = "true",
RequireAcknowledgment = "true",
UseSoapInterface = "false",
IncludeCertificateWithSoap = "false",
SignMessageWithX509Cert = "false",
IncludeDocuments = "true",
IncludeEnvelopeVoidReason = "true",
IncludeTimeZone = "true",
IncludeSenderAccountAsCustomField = "true",
IncludeDocumentFields = "true",
IncludeHMAC = "true",
IncludeCertificateOfCompletion = "false",
};
evenNotification.Url = docusignBaseUrl;
var envelopeEvents = new List<EnvelopeEvent>();
// In this case we only add a single envelope event, we can add multiple events based on requirement
envelopeEvents.Add(new EnvelopeEvent { EnvelopeEventStatusCode = EnvelopeEventStatusCompleted, IncludeDocuments = "true" });
envelopeEvents.Add(new EnvelopeEvent { EnvelopeEventStatusCode = EnvelopeEventStatusVoided, IncludeDocuments = "false" });
envelopeEvents.Add(new EnvelopeEvent { EnvelopeEventStatusCode = EnvelopeEventStatuDeclined, IncludeDocuments = "false" });
evenNotification.EnvelopeEvents = envelopeEvents;
List<RecipientEvent> rEvents = new List<RecipientEvent>();
rEvents.Add(new RecipientEvent { RecipientEventStatusCode = RecipientEventStatusDeclined, IncludeDocuments = "false" });
rEvents.Add(new RecipientEvent { RecipientEventStatusCode = RecipientEventStatusCompleted, IncludeDocuments = "false" });
evenNotification.RecipientEvents = rEvents;
envDefinition.EventNotification = evenNotification;
//Add the recipients
envDefinition.Recipients = PopulateRecipients(Envelope);
//envDefinition.RecipientsLock = "true"; //cannot add new receipients at docusign
envDefinition.AllowReassign = "true";
envDefinition.Status = "created";
//submit the envelope
envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi(apiClient);
envelopeSummary = envelopesApi.CreateEnvelope(_docuSignAccountId, envDefinition);
and the recipients (Signers)
Signer signer = new Signer();
signer.Name = Recipient.GetRecipientName(recipient.TheRecipient);
signer.Email = Recipient.GetRecipientEmail(recipient.TheRecipient);
signer.RecipientId = recipient.Id.ToString();
signer.TemplateLocked = "true"; //cannot be edited as docusign
signer.TemplateRequired = "true"; //cannot be removed at docusign
signer.EmailNotification = new RecipientEmailNotification()
{
SupportedLanguage = GetLanguage(recipient),
EmailSubject = string.Format(WebDisplayHelper.GetText(typeof(DocuSignFileHandler), DocuSignFileHandlerResources.EmailSubject),
HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Envelope.Title),
HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Envelope.Reference)),
EmailBody = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Envelope.Blurb)
};
signer.RoutingOrder = recipient.RoutingOrder.ToString();
This code works in general - in addition to enabling "Allow recipients to change signing responsibility" in Settings, the only code change is that we've commented out the code which locks recipients, and added the explicit call
envDefinition.AllowReassign = "true";
Ideally we would retain the lock so that new recipients cannot be added, while allowing specified receipients to reassign the signature to someone else
The Signer Reassign feature does disappear under certain circumstances. If you're sending the email notifications on your own and utilizing recipientViewTokens, that means that you're most likely using captive recipients. What makes a captive recipient captive is the existence of a clientUserId, which enables recipientViewTokens and stops the initial email notifications from going out.
One of the other things it does is that the envelope is bound to a generic DocuSign account, not to any particular users personal DS account. Because the DS account / user seat is required for signer reassign the option is removed.
Feel free to open up a ticket on the support portal to discuss in realtime, myself or someone from my team can meet with you to go over the issue.

Matt

DocuSign API - Email Notification Settings

I'm successfully sending envelopes via the DocuSign eSignature API and have a question about the emails that are sent as part of the signing process. When a request is sent I'm receiving the following emails (using the Sandbox environment):
email to each recipient from dse_demo#docusign.net with a reply to of my name/email address
email to me when each recipient clicks the link to view the agreement to sign (e.g. "John Smith viewed Acme Co Customer Agreement")
email to me (and each recipient) when agreement has been completed.
I'm trying to understand what options are available for each of these as far as:
enabling/disabling each of these emails
changing the email address used for each of these (and if this can be done via the API)
Appreciate any insights into whether and how I can make any changes to these.
The completion emails can be enabled/disabled in the settings for your DocuSign account. This can be found in: Settings > Signing Settings > Envelope Delivery. You can also enable/disable the "envelope viewed" notification emails and completion emails for both the sender and signer in: Settings > Email Preferences.
Which language are you integrating the API with? In C# you can change the email when adding the envelope recipient in the envelope definition e.g.
private static EnvelopeDefinition MakeEnvelope(string recipientEmail)
{
recipientEmail = "recipientEmail#email.com"
byte[] buffer = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("filePath");
Document doc1 = new Document();
string b64 = Convert.ToBase64String(buffer);
doc1.DocumentBase64 = b64;
doc1.Name = "Document Name";
doc1.FileExtension = "pdf";
doc1.DocumentId = "1";
env.Documents = new List<Document> { doc1 };
Text textTab = new Text
{
DocumentId = "1",
PageNumber = "1",
XPosition = "168",
YPosition = "513",
Height = "17",
Width = "369",
Value = "envelopeTabText",
Locked = "true"
};
SignHere signer1signhere = new SignHere
{
DocumentId = "1",
PageNumber = "1",
XPosition = "128",
YPosition = "775"
};
**Signer signer1 = new Signer
{
Email = recipientEmail,
Name = "customerName",
RecipientId = "1",
RoutingOrder = "1"
};**
Tabs signer1Tabs = new Tabs
{
TextTabs = new List<Text> { textTab },
SignHereTabs = new List<SignHere> { signer1signhere }
};
signer1.Tabs = signer1Tabs;
Recipients recipients = new Recipients
{
Signers = new List<Signer> { signer1 }
};
env.Recipients = recipients;
env.Status = "sent";
return env;
}

Adding Addition Tabs to TemplateRole

I have the DocuSign API working to pre-fill existing tabs on a template. I am trying to add some additional tabs dynamically for the templaterole signers, but the tabs are not showing up.
Here is my code that I am working with.
string SigningGroupID = "12345";
string RoleName = "Test Signing Group"';
string TemplateId = "XXX-XX-XXXX-XXX";
List<TemplateRole> templateRoles = new List<TemplateRole>();
DocuSign.eSign.Model.Tabs tabs = new DocuSign.eSign.Model.Tabs();
List<Text> TextTabs = new List<Text>();
Text text = new Text();
text.TabLabel = "test_label";
text.XPosition = "100";
text.YPosition = "150";
TextTabs.Add(text);
if (TextTabs.Count > 0) tabs.TextTabs = TextTabs;
TemplateRole doc_signer = new TemplateRole
{
SigningGroupId = SigningGroupID,
RoleName = RoleName,
RoutingOrder = "1",
Tabs = tabs
};
templateRoles.Add(doc_signer);
EnvelopeDefinition envelope = new EnvelopeDefinition();
envelope.EmailSubject = "This is a test";
envelope.Status = "created";
envelope.TemplateId = TemplateId;
envelope.TemplateRoles = templateRoles;
EnvelopesApi envelopeApi = new EnvelopesApi(_apiClient.Configuration);
EnvelopeSummary results = envelopeApi.CreateEnvelope(AccountID, envelope);
Console.WriteLine(results.ToJson());
Do I need some additional items populated on the new Text object (e.g. TabID)? I am not sure why this is not working.
Thanks
jlimited
Correct. You're missing a few properties for your Text object. When you define your Text tab, be sure to connect it to the appropriate recipient, document, and page by specifying the following:
text.documentId
text.pageNumber
text.recipientId
text.xPosition
text.yPosition
text.tabLabel
To determine the three missing values, you can make a request to GET /templates, which will return to you the IDs. SDK method is Templates:get
There are many more properties you can add, but you'll need these to get your tab to display properly.

Docusign API - Self Signing

We have a requirement where we need to make a couple of PDF forms available using a HTML link to users for signing, but the signer should be a self-signer. In other words, once the signer completes signing using Docusign, they should be able to download the signed documents. However, we as the sender if the HTML link don't want to receive these saved documents as they have Personally Identifiable Information. The signer will upload these documents separately into our application at a later point.
I searched, but couldn't find a way to generate a HTML link for a self-signer. I was able to create a prototype that works for a regular signer, but not for a self-signer.
Any help would be much appreciated. Here's my code right snippet now:
// specify the document we want signed
string SignTest1File = #"C:\Users\skosuri.AA\Desktop\of0306.pdf";
string SignTest2File = #"C:\Users\skosuri.AA\Desktop\epa-credit-release-authorization.pdf";
// Enter recipient (signer) name and email address
string recipientName = "Chris";
string recipientEmail = "xxx.xxx#epa.gov";
// instantiate api client with appropriate environment (for production change to www.docusign.net/restapi)
string basePath = "https://demo.docusign.net/restapi";
// instantiate a new api client
ApiClient apiClient = new ApiClient(basePath);
// set client in global config so we don't need to pass it to each API object
Configuration.Default.ApiClient = apiClient;
string authHeader = "{\"Username\":\"" + Username + "\", \"Password\":\"" + Password + "\", \"IntegratorKey\":\"" + IntegratorKey + "\"}";
Configuration.Default.AddDefaultHeader("X-DocuSign-Authentication", authHeader);
// we will retrieve this from the login() results
string accountId = null;
// the authentication api uses the apiClient (and X-DocuSign-Authentication header) that are set in Configuration object
AuthenticationApi authApi = new AuthenticationApi();
LoginInformation loginInfo = authApi.Login();
// user might be a member of multiple accounts
accountId = loginInfo.LoginAccounts[0].AccountId;
Console.WriteLine("LoginInformation: {0}", loginInfo.ToJson());
// Read a file from disk to use as a document
byte[] fileBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(SignTest1File);
byte[] fileBytes2 = File.ReadAllBytes(SignTest2File);
EnvelopeDefinition envDef = new EnvelopeDefinition();
envDef.EmailSubject = "Please complete and sign these documents";
// Add a document to the envelope

I don't quite understand your question.
Your app can use a "system user" (an email account such as "noreply#company.com") as the sender and present an embedded signing request to the "self-signer."
That way the "self-signer" can fill in the information and sign.
The signed document will only be visible (via DocuSign) to the system user. You can also set up a purge policy.
But it is not a friendly user experience to ask that the
signer will upload these documents separately into our application at a later point.
Instead, I suggest that you check out the concealValueOnDocument parameter of the text (data) tab.
Docs:
When set to true, the field appears normally while the recipient is adding or modifying the information in the field, but the data is not visible (the characters are hidden by asterisks) to any other signer or the sender.
When an envelope is completed the information is available to the sender through the Form Data link in the DocuSign Console.
This setting applies only to text boxes and does not affect list boxes, radio buttons, or check boxes.
Using this setting enables the signer to see the PII when they sign, but the information is not visible to subsequent signers or viewers of the information.
The PII data is still available via the API so your integration can process it as necessary.
