Envelope does not contain document

Question

After creating envelope and adding document (pdf) to it, Then I receive the email, and sign the document, when I later retrieve the envelope there is no document in it.

EnvelopeDefinition envelopeDefinition = new EnvelopeDefinition
{
    EmailSubject = "Please sign the document",
    Documents = new List<Document>(documents),
    Recipients = recipients,
    Status = "sent"
};

// 2. Use the SDK to create and send the envelope
ApiClient apiClient = new ApiClient(basePath);
apiClient.Configuration.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);
EnvelopesApi envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi(apiClient.Configuration);
EnvelopeSummary results = await envelopesApi.CreateEnvelopeAsync(accountId, envelopeDefinition);

Later retrieve the envelope by ID

var envelope = envelopesApi.GetEnvelope(accountId, results.Envelopes.FirstOrDefault().EnvelopeId);

Then EnvelopeDocuments is null.

How do I get the signed document?

Answer 1

Try instead to use this method:

envelopesApi.GetDocument (accountId, envelopeId, documentId);

documentId is what you set it, could be "1" if you followed common examples.

Answer 2

Or use the special documentId "combined" to return all of the envelope's documents.

See the EnvelopeDocuments:get docs.
