Signature/sign

Uploads a document for signing

This operation receives HTML text that will be converted to PDF. Any CSS or image file used by this HTML must be referenced using a full URL that is publicly accessible. You may also use <style> blocks for CSS styles and data urls for images and other files. This HTML should be simple and only include formatted text and images. It will be sanitized before its conversion to PDF, removing any problematic content such as javascript code.

You can upload a PDF file instead using signature/sign-pdf.

For each signature, the signer name and email is provided.

An email or SMS will be sent to each document signer with an URL they must visit to sign the document. When all signers have added their signature, a signature certificate will be generated and sent to all the document signers, and to the document sender e-mail address if specified.

Document signing process status can be queried using signature/status.

If your API client has a callback URL, it will receive the following callbacks:

• DOCUMENT_SIGNATURE: When a signer signs the document
• SIGNATURE_CERTIFICATE: When the document signature certificate is ready

These callbacks receive the same JSON as returned from signature/status.
