In-person signing

Set is_in_person to true when the requester and signer are together and the signer should complete the request on the requester’s device. Set this on the signer when you create the request. Also set embed_url_external_user_id so the response includes embed_url and iframeable_embed_url. Your app opens or embeds that URL to start the signing session. For more information, see Embed the signing client.

In-person signing cycles through each signer

Create an in-person request

curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "template_id": "ee9a689e-96b6-4076-92a0-b9b765eb09ca",
       "parent_folder": {
         "type": "folder",
         "id": "0987654321"
       },
       "signers": [
         {
           "email": "signer-a@example.com",
           "role": "signer",
           "is_in_person": true,
           "embed_url_external_user_id": "1234"
         },
         {
           "email": "signer-b@example.com",
           "role": "signer",
           "is_in_person": true
         }
       ]
     }'

The first in-person signer gets the embed_url and iframeable_embed_url. Later in-person signers in the same session do not need their own embed_url_external_user_id.

Several signers in one session

After the first in-person signer finishes, the interface moves to the next in-person signer. The completed document is emailed to each signer.
