Signature Request
Signature Request endpoints are how the Dropbox Sign API facilitates signing. They’re used to send and interact with new signature requests, as well as manage, and gain insight into requests that have already been sent. Signature Requests offer a broad range of features, such as: group signing, Advanced and Qualified Electronic Signatures, identity verification, SMS delivery, and much more.
The Signature Request object returned by these endpoints can be used to reference request-specific data including the names and email addresses of signers, custom fields, metadata, response data, and timestamps for when the request was created and completed.
Tips:
- The /signature_request/list endpoint returns a list of Signature Request objects that your account can access. Using query string parameters to apply search logic is a great way to find specific documents or requests.
- Need to update a signer name or email for an in-flight Signature Request? Pass the updated information and
signature_request_idto /signature_request/update/{signature_request_id}.
When Signature Requests are sent without any signer fields on the document, Dropbox Sign automatically appends a signature page on the end of the file. Placing signer fields on the document prevents this behavior. Learn more about placing fields on documents in this Help Center article: How to Place Fields Directly on Documents.
Warning
Signature Requests that use an appended signature page cannot be updated. The /signature_request/update endpoint only works on documents that contain signer fields.
