Use a template

A template is a document you have already prepared once — its fields and its signer positions are saved, so sending the same kind of document again means filling in a short form rather than repeating the whole wizard.

Open the template and choose Use template. You are asked for two things.

Fields — the values that vary between documents. Required ones are marked Required; the rest appear under Optional. Leaving a required field empty is refused with “Please fill in the required fields.”

Signers — for each signer the template expects, supply Name, Email and Phone.

Then select Send. On success you get:

Document created and sent for signature.

Templates can carry more than flat text fields. Advanced data (JSON) accepts a JSON object for the cases a plain field cannot express:

Arrays for repeats, true/false for conditions and images (base64/URL).

So a list drives a repeated block, a boolean shows or hides a section, and an image can be supplied inline or by URL. Malformed input is rejected with “The data JSON is invalid.”

Template details shows what a template contains before you commit to using it:

General Nome, Descrição, Estado
Criado por, Criado em, Last modified on
Automatic fields The fields it will ask you to fill, and which are Required
Signers The signers it expects, and the page each signs on
Template ID (API) The identifier used to drive this template from the API

Download template downloads the underlying file.

The Template ID (API) is worth knowing about even if you never write code: it is how an integration refers to this exact template.
