Summary

Adds a comment to a DocuSign envelope, optionally as a reply to an existing comment thread.

Inputs

  • Authentication — Credential type used for the request: JWT (service integration, default) or OAuth2 (user authorization).
  • Envelope ID (required) — ID of the envelope to comment on.
  • Comment Text (required) — Text of the comment (max 4000 characters per the field description).
  • Additional Options > Thread ID — Thread ID of an existing comment thread. Set it to reply to that thread instead of starting a new one.

Output shape

Most likely the DocuSign API response for the created comment, returned as an n8n item.

The source pack shows only the handler signature (handleCommentsCreate), not its body. The exact endpoint and response fields are therefore unverified. Errors from the API are raised as node errors, and DocuSign requests are retried on rate-limit and server errors.

Examples

Example 1: Post a note on an envelope for the signing team.

Envelope ID = {{$json.envelopeId}}, Comment Text = 'Please review section 3 before signing.'

Example 2: Reply within an existing discussion.

Envelope ID and Comment Text set; Additional Options > Thread ID = thread ID from a previous Comments Get Many result.
