Summary

Sets custom name-value fields on a specific document within a DocuSign envelope. The source pack drops function bodies, so the exact API call isn't visible. The handler is handleEnvelopeDocumentFieldCreate.

Inputs

  • Authentication — Credential type to use: JWT (Service Integration, the default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
  • Envelope ID (required) — ID of the envelope that contains the document.
  • Document ID (required) — ID of the document within the envelope to add the fields to.
  • Document Fields — Repeatable list of custom fields, each with a Name and a Value (both strings). These are the fields written to the document.

Output shape

A single n8n item containing the DocuSign API response for the document fields request.

The source pack has no function bodies, so the exact response shape isn't confirmed. It is presumably the document fields DocuSign returns. API errors are thrown as node errors, and the helper retries on rate limits (429) and 5xx errors.

Examples

Example 1: Tag a contract document with internal reference metadata after the envelope is created.

Envelope ID from the previous Create Envelope node, Document ID '1', Document Fields: name 'CaseNumber' value '12345', name 'Department' value 'Legal'.
