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.
Create a document from a template
Section titled “Create a document from a template”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.
Advanced data
Section titled “Advanced data”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.”
Inspecting a template
Section titled “Inspecting a template”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.
