Web Form Instance → Create
AI-generatedSummary
Creates a signing instance for an existing DocuSign web form by POSTing to the Web Forms API, returning the API's response for the new instance.
Inputs
- Form ID (required) — ID of the web form to create an instance for; used in the request path /forms/{formId}/instances.
- Return URL — URL to redirect to after the form is completed. Only sent in the request body if non-empty.
- Expiration Offset — Seconds until the instance token expires. Defaults to 3600 and is always sent in the request body.
Output shape
One output item per input item, containing the JSON response from DocuSign for the created web form instance.
The exact response fields are not defined in the node; they come directly from the API. The account ID and environment (demo or production) come from the credentials. Requests retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff on 429 and 5xx or network errors; other 4xx errors fail immediately. With Continue On Fail enabled, failed items return {error: message}.
Examples
Example 1: Generate a one-hour signing link for a customer form
Resource: Web Form Instance, Operation: Create, Form ID set to the web form's ID, defaults for Expiration Offset (3600).
Example 2: Redirect users to your app after completing the form, with a 24-hour expiry
Form ID from a previous node, Return URL: https://yourapp.com/complete, Expiration Offset: 86400.
