Question

I am using SOAP request targeting DocuSign SandBox

I am sending this message (I removed most of PDFBytes content)

        </ns:CreateAndSendEnvelope>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

I get this error: The Envelope is not Complete. A Complete Envelope Requires Documents, Recipients, Tabs, and a Subject Line.

Can someone point to what I am missing?

Thanks

Answer 1

You are missing the Subject and Email blurb at the envelope level like below:

        </ns:Tabs>
        <ns:Subject>This is the subject</ns:Subject>
        <ns:EmailBlurb>This is the test body of the message</ns:EmailBlurb>               
        <ns:AllowReassign>true</ns:AllowReassign>

but unless the multi-language feature is turned on for your account (demo or Prod) you will then get the following error:

 <faultstring>A requested plan item is not enabled for this account. Plan item: SignInEachLocation</faultstring>
 <faultactor>https://demo.docusign.net/api/3.0/dsapi.asmx</faultactor>

So you can contact support to ask them to enable the multi-language feature.
