This webhook is triggered when a document has been completed and a PDF has been generated and securely saved to PandaDoc's e-vault. The webhook delivers comprehensive document information and signals that the completed PDF is ready for download.
Important Note: This event indicates that the document workflow is fully complete and a verifiable, digitally sealed PDF has been generated. The PDF can be downloaded using the Download Protected Document API endpoint.
This event is useful for:
- Downloading completed documents via the Download Protected Document endpoint
- Triggering automated document archival and storage workflows
- Initiating post-completion business processes (invoicing, fulfillment, etc.)
- Audit logging and compliance tracking for completed documents
- Notifying stakeholders about document completion and availability
- Implementing automated backup and document management systems
PDF Download: Use the Download Protected Document endpoint
(/public/v1/documents/{id}/download-protected) to retrieve the
completed, digitally sealed PDF from the e-vault.
Note: The webhook payload structure is partially mirrors the Document Details API response, providing comprehensive document information captured when the PDF becomes available.
Security Note: All webhook requests include an HMAC-SHA256 signature for verification using your webhook shared secret.
