DocuSign: when using an embedded signer, reusing the same envelope if they click on "Finish later"

Question

I am creating an envelope to be signed using this code

       envelopesApi.createRecipientView(reqArgs.accountId, envelopeId, {
            recipientViewRequest: viewRequest,
        });

The viewRequest here contains clientUserId parameter as we are embedding docusign inside our app. I am saving the envelope id that was created in one of our tables.

When the user has clicked on 'Finish later', can I use the same envelope that was created earlier to be sent via email? or should I create new envelope that will not have clientUserId parameter set in the viewRequest?

Also, if we have to recreate this envelope will we be charged for the first envelope? If we void it before signing.

Answer 1

You can reuse the Envelope, so this will not consume from your plan monthly quota.

You just have to request the signing URL again if it's used or expired. You Don't to recreate the envelope.
