How to prevent signers from reassigning the document?
When sending documents for signatures via BoldSign, sometimes it's important to prevent signers from reassigning the document to other recipients. BoldSign provides a feature to disable the option for signers to reassign the document, ensuring that the document remains with the intended recipients.
Disable signer's ability to reassign the document
When you want to prevent signers from reassigning documents, include the EnableReassign
property set to false
in your send
API call.
Here are code examples demonstrating how to achieve this:
Code snippet
curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'X-API-KEY: {your API key}' \ -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \ -F 'EnableReassign= false' \ -F 'Message=' \ -F 'Signers={ "name": "Hanky", "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@cubeflakes.com", "signerType": "Signer", "formFields": [ { "id": "string", "name": "string", "fieldType": "Signature", "pageNumber": 1, "bounds": { "x": 50, "y": 50, "width": 1, "height": 1 }, "isRequired": true } ], "locale": "EN" }' \ -F 'Files={your file}' \ -F 'Title={title}' \
var apiClient = new ApiClient("https://api.boldsign.com", "{your API key}"); var documentClient = new DocumentClient(apiClient); var documentFilePath = new DocumentFilePath { ContentType = "application/pdf", FilePath = "{Your file path}", }; var filesToUpload = new List<IDocumentFile> { documentFilePath, }; var signatureField = new FormField( id: "sign", isRequired: true, type: FieldType.Signature, pageNumber: 1, bounds: new Rectangle(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 50)); var formFieldCollections = new List<FormField>() { signatureField }; var signer = new DocumentSigner( signerName: "David", signerEmail: "david@cubeflakes.com", formFields: formFieldCollections, locale: Locales.EN); var documentSigners = new List<DocumentSigner>() { signer }; var sendForSign = new SendForSign() { Message = "please sign this", Title = "Agreement", EnableReassign = false, Signers = documentSigners, Files = filesToUpload }; var documentCreated = documentClient.SendDocument(sendForSign);
import requests import json url = "https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send" signer_data = { "name": "Hanky", "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@cubeflakes.com", "signerType": "Signer", "formFields": [ { "id": "string", "name": "string", "fieldType": "Signature", "pageNumber": 1, "bounds": { "x": 50, "y": 50, "width": 1, "height": 1 }, "isRequired": True } ], "locale": "EN" } payload = { 'EnableReassign': False, 'Message': '', 'Signers': json.dumps(signer_data), 'Title': '{title}' } files = [ ('Files', ( 'doc-2.pdf', open('{Your file path}', 'rb'), 'application/pdf' )) ] headers = { 'accept': 'application/json', 'X-API-KEY': '{Your API Key}' } response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files) print(response.text)
const axios = require('axios'); const FormData = require('form-data'); const fs = require('fs'); let data = new FormData(); data.append('EnableReassign', 'false'); data.append('Message', ''); data.append('Signers', '{\r\n "name": "Hanky",\r\n "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@cubeflakes.com",\r\n "signerType": "Signer",\r\n "formFields": [\r\n {\r\n "id": "string",\r\n "name": "string",\r\n "fieldType": "Signature",\r\n "pageNumber": 1,\r\n "bounds": {\r\n "x": 50,\r\n "y": 50,\r\n "width": 1,\r\n "height": 1\r\n },\r\n "isRequired": true\r\n }\r\n ],\r\n "locale": "EN"\r\n}'); data.append('Files', fs.createReadStream('{Your file path}')); data.append('Title', '{title}'); let config = { method: 'post', maxBodyLength: Infinity, url: 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send', headers: { 'accept': 'application/json', 'X-API-KEY': '{Your API key}', ...data.getHeaders() }, data : data }; axios.request(config) .then((response) => { console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data)); }) .catch((error) => { console.log(error); });
By setting the EnableReassign
property to false
, you ensure that the signer will not have the option to reassign the document to another person. Make sure to execute the above codes and provide the necessary fields such as Files,
Title,
and Signers.
