This section outlines the usage rules and behaviors of the methods associated with sending. The functions in this group are:

  • CreateAndSendEnvelope - Creates the envelope and initiates the delivery process. This method requires an envelope that includes all necessary information; no sender interaction via the Docusign website is required.
  • CreateEnvelope – Creates the envelope without sending it. These envelopes do not contain all of the information necessary for immediate processing. Instead, the sender can be directed to the Docusign web site to complete the preparation of the envelope.
  • CreateEnvelopeFromTemplates – Creates and sends envelope based on Docusign Pro templates and envelope information. Available only in version 3.0 of the API.
  • CreateEnvelopeFromTemplatesAndForms – Creates envelopes from a combination of a PDF form and a Docusign Template. Once all the data from the form is overlaid on the template the envelope is passed to the CreateAndSendEnvelope or CreateEnvelope method.
  • SendEnvelope – Send an envelope that is in draft status. Upon sending all the validations that are made with the CreateAndSendEnvelope method apply.
  • RequestSenderToken – This method is used to get a onetime use login token that allows the user to be placed into the Docusign sending wizard. Upon sending completion the user is returned to the return URL provided by the API application.
  • Anchor Based Tagging - This section outlines the usage rules and behaviors of the Docusign Anchor-Based Tagging feature.
