DocuSign（向客户端发送电子邮件）ASP.NET MVC

Question

I am using DocuSign demo account to send a document as an email for signing to the client using C#. I am using the code in this link ( https://www.docusign.com/developer-center/api-overview#quickstart ) to do that. But when I run the code it is not sending any email to the client and it is not showing any error too. I also tried posting the baseurl that it returns after authentication along with the envelope using HttpWebRequest and also with ajax. It didn't worked out too. Can anyone please help me with this ?

I'd suggest that you comment-out (or remove altogether) this line from your code:

signer.ClientUserId = "1234";

When you specify ClientUserId , you're telling DocuSign not to send an email to the signer (because that signer is what DocuSign refers to as an embedded recipient). If you remove ClientUserId , you're telling DocuSign that the signer is a remote recipient, so DocuSign will send a signing invitation email to that recipient.
