The uri that a signer will be redirected to after declining to sign a document.
"Hello! Please sign the document below"
Message to include in sign request email. The field is cleaned through sanitization of specific characters. However, some html tags are allowed. Links included in the message are also converted to hyperlinks in the email. The message may contain the following html tags including a
, abbr
, acronym
, b
, blockquote
, code
, em
, i
, ul
, li
, ol

"Sign Request from Acme"
Subject of sign request email. This is cleaned by sign request. If this field is not passed, a default subject will be used.
"123"
This can be used to reference an ID in an external system that the sign request is related to.
"Box"
Used as an optional system name to appear in the signature log next to the signers who have been assigned the embed_url_external_id
.
true
Indicates if the sender should receive a prepare_url
in the response to complete document preparation using the UI.
true
Forces signers to verify a text message prior to viewing the document. You must specify the phone number of signers to have this setting apply to them.
"name"
Name of the signature request.
The destination folder to place final, signed document and signing
log. Only ID
and type
fields are required. The root folder,
folder ID 0
, cannot be used and can also not be null.
When this value is not passed in when the signature request, then we will use a default folder which is either the parent folder of the first source file in the payload if we have the permission to upload to that folder or a folder called "My Sign Requests".
When a document contains sign-related tags in the content, you can prefill them using this prefill_tags
by referencing the 'id' of the tag as the external_id
field of the prefill tag.

Value is one of blue
,black
,red
Array of signers for the signature request. 35 is the max number of signers permitted.
Note: It may happen that some signers belong to conflicting segments (user groups). This means that due to the security policies, users are assigned to segments to prevent exchanges or communication that could lead to ethical conflicts. In such a case, an attempt to send the sign request will result in an error.
Read more about segments and ethical walls.
"https://declined-example.com"
The URL that a signer will be redirect to after declining to sign a document. Defining this URL overrides default or global declined redirect URL settings for a specific signer.
"example@gmail.com"

"1234"
User ID for the signer in an external application responsible for authentication when accessing the embed URL.

sender signs, they are redirected to the next in_person

before signing the request. If the signer does not have
an existing account, they will have the option to create
a free Box account. Cannot be selected in combination with

"SecretPassword123"

If set, signers who have the same value will be assigned to the same input and to the same signer group. A signer group is not a Box Group. It is an entity that belongs to a Sign Request and can only be used/accessed within this Sign Request. A signer group is expected to have more than one signer. If the provided value is only used for one signer, this value will be ignored and request will be handled as it was intended for an individual signer. The value provided can be any string and only used to determine which signers belongs to same group. A successful response will provide a generated UUID value instead for signers in the same signer group.
false
If true, no emails about the sign request will be sent
"6314578901"
If set, this phone number will be used to verify the signer
via two-factor authentication before they are able to sign the document.
