Create Document Session for Embedded Sign

🚧

Document State

Sessions can only be generated for documents in the following statuses: sent, waiting for payment, paid, and completed.

To move a document to the sent status, use the Send Document endpoint. If you want to skip sending emails to the recipients, include the "silent": true parameter.

📘

Generating a Document Link from the returned id

This endpoint returns a session id, which you can use to create a signer URL. The URL format should be:

HTML

https://app.pandadoc.com/s/{id}/

🚧

Lifetime Parameter

Provide a lifetime value in seconds that allows enough time for the recipient to complete the document. We recommend values under 1 year for security purposes, e.g.: "lifetime": 31535999

You can always generate a new session as long as the document remains in an eligible status.
