Create Sign Request

Project compatibility

Windows | Cross-platform

Overview

Description	API Method	API Path
Create a sign request for a document using a Box Sign template.	POST	/sign_requests/send

Note:

To create a sign request with the Create Sign Request activity, the documents used in the process must have template tags.

Template tags are a way in which you add data to a base document that Box Sign automatically recognizes. To learn how to create templates using tags, see the official Box documentation.

Input

Parameter	Description	Data Type
Signer emails	The email addresses of all required signers. Signer order can be specified, with the first signer designated as index 0.	string
File to sign	The file for which the signing request is being created.	data list
Destination folder	The folder where the signed document will be saved once completed.	data list
Template	The Box Sign template to use for the signing process. Templates can be created directly within Box.	data list
Email subject	The subject line of the sign request email sent to recipients.	string
Email message	The message body included in the email sent to signers.	string
Reminders	If enabled, Box will automatically send reminders to outstanding signers on days 3, 8, 13, and 18.	boolean
Days valid	The number of days after which the sign request will automatically expire if not completed.	int32
Are text signatures enabled	Determines whether signers are allowed to sign by typing their names (text signatures). If disabled, only drawn or uploaded signatures are allowed.	boolean
External ID	An identifier used to reference the sign request in an external system.	string
Prefill tags text value	The text value to prefill a corresponding text tag defined in the template.	string
Prefill tags date value	A date value used to prefill a date tag defined in the template.	date time
Is document preparation needed	Indicates whether document preparation (e.g., setting up fields) is required before sending.	boolean
Prefill tags checkbox value	A boolean value used to prefill a checkbox field in the template.	boolean
Prefill tags document tag ID	The tag ID of the field being prefilled, as defined in the Box Sign template.	string

Note: Template tags are assigned in the order in which the email addresses are added to the Signer Emails field. This is not the same as the order of signing. If there are more tags on the document than actual signers, those tags aren't populated. If you add more signers than tags, the extra signers can sign the document, but are not directed to the locations in the document. They can add text, dates, and signatures wherever they want in the document.

Output

Parameter	Description	Data Type
Sign request ID	The unique identifier of the newly created sign request.	string
Create sign request	The full response object detailing the created sign request.	object

In API workflows, a single response object is returned as the output. Any required fields can be extracted directly from this object.
In RPA workflows, some output parameters may differ, but the necessary values can still be retrieved from the response object even if they are not explicitly exposed.
