DocuSign Java SDK REST API Example - Quickstart Create Envelope from Template

createEnvelopeFromTemplate.java

// create a new envelope to manage the signature request
EnvelopeDefinition envDef = new EnvelopeDefinition();
envDef.setEmailSubject("DocuSign Java SDK - Sample Signature Request");

// assign template information including ID and role(s)
envDef.setTemplateId("{TEMPLATE_ID}");

// create a template role with a valid templateId and roleName and assign signer info
TemplateRole tRole = new TemplateRole();
tRole.setRoleName("{ROLE}");
tRole.setName("{USER_NAME}");
tRole.setEmail("{USER_EMAIL}");

// set the clientUserId on the recipient to mark them as embedded (ie we will generate their signing link)
tRole.setClientUserId("1001");

// create a list of template roles and add our newly created role
java.util.List<TemplateRole> templateRolesList = new java.util.ArrayList<TemplateRole>();
templateRolesList.add(tRole);

// assign template role(s) to the envelope 
envDef.setTemplateRoles(templateRolesList);

// send the envelope by setting |status| to "sent". To save as a draft set to "created"
envDef.setStatus("sent");

// instantiate a new EnvelopesApi object
EnvelopesApi envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi(apiClient);

// call the createEnvelope() API
EnvelopeSummary envelopeSummary = envelopesApi.createEnvelope(accountId, envDef);
System.out.println("Envelope has been sent to " + tRole.getEmail());
