# Embedding function group

This section describes the principles and methods involved in implementing a Docusign Connect API integration using the Embedded Signing interaction pattern for recipients. In this section, we specify methods, processes and exceptions that deviate from typical API integration concepts.Embedded Signing is a departure from the default “Remote Signer” pattern, in which Docusign brokers the communication with envelope Recipients via system-generated emails containing links to activate the viewing and signing process. Embedded Signing, in contrast, enables a API client application to maintain its connection with envelope Recipients by incorporating the Docusign Signing Service directly into its process flow. The functional result is a more fluid document transaction and more transparent feature extension of the client application.This tighter integration with Docusign imposes additional technical and functional burdens on the client application, including addressing security, legal, and user experience requirements that are engineered into the Docusign application in the Remote Signer pattern.Important: iFrames should not be used for embedded signing on mobile devices due to screen space issues. For iOS devices Docusign recommends using a WebView.
