Build a Draft Envelope and Send

with Docusign · Contract Management

Create a draft envelope, attach a recipient, and send it.

  1. Create the envelope in created (draft) status with a single document so recipients can be attached before it is sent.
  2. Add a signer recipient to the draft envelope, placing a signature tab on the first page of the document.
  3. Transition the draft envelope to sent status so DocuSign delivers it to the recipient.
What you'll need to have ready
  • accountId: The DocuSign account ID (GUID or short account number).
  • emailSubject: The subject line of the envelope email.
  • signerName: The full legal name of the signer to add.
  • signerEmail: The email address of the signer to add.
  • documentBase64: The base64-encoded content of the document.
  • documentName: The display name of the document.
  • fileExtension: The file extension of the document.
