Template → Update
AI-generatedSummary
Updates an existing DocuSign template's name, description, or default email subject by template ID. The source pack shows only the handler signature (handleTemplateUpdate), not its body, so the exact API call and returned data aren't confirmed.
Inputs
- Authentication — Authentication method: JWT (Service Integration, default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
- Template ID (required) — ID of the template to update.
- Update Fields — Collection of optional fields to change: Name (template name), Description (template description), and Email Subject (default subject for envelopes created from this template).
Output shape
Presumably the DocuSign API response for the updated template, as JSON for each input item. This is not confirmed by the source.
The source pack omits the handler body, so the return shape is unverified. Only the fields you add under Update Fields are expected to be changed. Errors are raised as node errors, and DocuSign API requests retry on rate limits and 5xx errors.
Examples
Example 1: Rename a template and change its default email subject
Template ID = abc-123; Update Fields: Name = 'NDA v2', Email Subject = 'Please sign the NDA'.
Example 2: Update only the description of a template
Template ID from a previous Template Get All node; Update Fields: Description = 'Updated for 2026 terms'.
