DocuSignAPI Error Code INVALID_EMAIL_ADDRESS_FOR_RECIPIENT

Question

Recieving an error Code when making a demo call using the rest api v2 with an an email configured as a prospect to a template. Can anyone please let me know why this is being returned and it seems to work fine when the request is with a test@email.com

errorDetails INVALID_EMAIL_ADDRESS_FOR_RECIPIENTThe email address for one of the recipients is not valid.

Answering my question again - ive actually removed the email tag from the envelope request , this was causing the problem

Answer 1

The DocuSign system does not know if it's actually a valid email address (it would have to do a test send to figure that out), the only validation that is done through the platform is on the actual format of the email address.

If it's not in the format (at least one character)@something.something then it will be flagged as an invalid email address. Looks like you've figured this out on your own though.
