Summary

Retrieves a single DocuSign web form instance by its form ID and instance ID via the DocuSign Web Forms API.

Inputs

  • Form ID (required) — ID of the web form that the instance belongs to.
  • Instance ID (required) — ID of the web form instance to fetch.

Output shape

One output item per input item, containing the JSON object returned by the API for the instance (GET /forms/{formId}/instances/{instanceId}).

The account ID and environment (demo or production) come from the docuSignWebFormsApi credentials. Non-429 4xx errors fail immediately. 429 and 5xx or network errors are retried up to 3 times with exponential backoff. With Continue On Fail enabled, a failed item outputs {error: message} instead of stopping the workflow.

Examples

Example 1: Check the status of a signing instance after creating it earlier in the workflow.

Resource: Web Form Instance; Operation: Get; Form ID: {{$json.formId}}; Instance ID: {{$json.instanceId}}

Example 2: Look up a known instance by fixed IDs.

Resource: Web Form Instance; Operation: Get; Form ID and Instance ID entered as literal strings
