Embedded Sign

The embedded sign request will allows the signers to sign the document within your website or mobile app using an iFrame, popup window, or new tab.

Once you successfully created the new document by referring the article Send document, it will return the document Id which we can use to generate the embedded signing link.

Enable secure document signing with ID verification using the getEmbeddedSigningLink API. This feature ensures that only authorized individuals can sign documents, enhancing security.

Get embedded signing link

get/v1/document/getEmbeddedSignLink

Let us walk through generating the embedded signing link and how it can be embedded into Iframe.

Validating the signer's identity

Please note that you are responsible for verifying the signer's identity before providing them access to the signing URL. This step is required to ensure that the eSignature is legally binding.

BoldSign produces an audit trail with a note saying that the document was signed with an embedded signature link. You must maintain records separately that your system validated the signer's identity before providing them access to the BoldSign embedded document URL for signing.

Code snippet

curl -X GET ' https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/getEmbeddedSignLink?documentId=17882g56-6686-46d9-dhg3-ce5737751234&signerEmail=alexgayle@cubeflakes.com&redirectUrl=https://www.syncfusion.com/&signLinkValidTill=10/14/2022' \
-H 'X-API-KEY: {use your API-KEY here}'

var apiClient = new ApiClient("https://api.boldsign.com", "{use your API-KEY here}");
var documentClient = new DocumentClient(apiClient);
EmbeddedSigningLink embeddedSigningLink = await documentClient.GetEmbeddedSignLinkAsync("17882g56-6686-46d9-dhg3-ce5737751234", "alexgayle@cubeflakes.com", DateTime.Now.AddDays(30), "https://www.syncfusion.com/").ConfigureAwait(false);
