Prefill Text Tabs and Send

with Docusign · Contract Management

Prefill a recipient's text tab on a draft envelope and send it.

  1. Create a draft envelope with one signer that has both a signature tab and a labeled text tab to be prefilled.
  2. Update the recipient's text tab to carry the prefilled value before the envelope is sent.
  3. Transition the draft envelope to sent so the signer receives the document with prefilled fields.
