Missing envelope data from the Docusign webhook request

Question

I'm trying to integrate the Docusign connect feature. I configured the connect on the Docusign admin page with the public url which is running on a ExpressJs framework. As expected it is hitting my url whenever a event is triggered, but I'm not able to find any envelope related data in the request object.

Answer 1

Are you finding any data? Remember that the data payload is in XML format.

Updated

You will need to look for the raw body of the request.

See this SO answer The encoding will be UTF-8 since that is standard for XML.

Another update

You have two choices:

Using Express directly

You'll need to debug your current software. Next step would be for you to post your Express code. (Edit your question to add your code.)

Use a better architecture (microservices)

Does any part of your application run behind your firewall?

If so, then consider using a microservices architecture with a queuing service in between a serverless listener function and your main app, which can be entirely behind the firewall.
