Envelope → Update Recipients
AI-generatedSummary
Updates the email address and/or name of a single recipient on a DocuSign envelope, identified by envelope ID and recipient ID.
Inputs
- Authentication — Credential mode: JWT (Service Integration, default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
- Envelope ID (required) — ID of the envelope containing the recipient.
- Recipient ID (required) — ID of the recipient to update.
- Update Fields — Collection of optional changes: Email (new email address) and Name (new recipient name). Only fields you add are meant to be changed.
Output shape
A single item containing the DocuSign API response for the recipient update, typically recipient update results for the envelope.
The source pack shows only the handler name (handleEnvelopeUpdateRecipients), not its body, so the exact request and response shape is not verified. Errors from DocuSign (e.g. invalid envelope or recipient ID, or an envelope state that doesn't allow edits) surface as node errors.
Examples
Example 1: Fix a typo in a signer's email address before they open the envelope.
Envelope ID = the envelope's ID, Recipient ID = the signer's recipient ID, Update Fields > Email = corrected address.
Example 2: Reassign a pending signature to a different person.
Set Envelope ID and Recipient ID, then add both Email and Name under Update Fields.
