Envelope → Create Edit View
AI-generatedSummary
Generates a DocuSign edit view URL for an existing envelope, so a user can modify the envelope in an embedded DocuSign UI and then be redirected back to your app.
Inputs
- Authentication — Credential type used for the call: JWT (Service Integration, default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
- Envelope ID (required) — ID of the envelope to open for editing.
- Return URL (required) — URL the user is redirected to after finishing the edit session, e.g. https://yourapp.com/complete.
Output shape
A single item with the API response for the edit view, expected to contain a short-lived URL to embed or redirect the user to.
The handler body is not visible in the provided source (only its name, handleEnvelopeCreateEditView, appears), so the exact response fields are not confirmed. DocuSign edit view URLs are typically single-use and expire quickly. The envelope generally needs to be editable (e.g. draft or correctable).
Examples
Example 1: Let a user adjust a draft envelope inside your web app before sending.
Envelope ID from a prior Create step (expression), Return URL set to https://yourapp.com/complete, JWT authentication; redirect the user to the returned URL.
