DocuSeal
Open-source document automation platform for e-signatures. Full read access to templates, submissions, and submitters — both listing and individual detail views.
Capability areas
Templates
- Template directory — all document templates with name, field count, creation date.
- Template detail — form fields (names, types, positions), document pages, roles. Requires template_id.
Submissions
- Submission directory — signing submissions with status, template info, submitter count. Filter by template_id.
- Submission detail — all submitters, their status, completed fields, document URLs. Requires submission_id.
Submitters
- Signer directory — signers with email, status, role. Filter by submission_id.
- Signer detail — individual signer status, completed fields, signing IP, timestamps. Requires submitter_id.
Workflows
- Audit open signatures: Submission listing → filter to in-flight states → submission detail to see which signer rows are still outstanding.
- Template review: Template listing → template detail for field placement and roles.
- Signer tracking: Submitters filtered by submission_id, then single-submitter detail for timestamps, IP metadata, and field completion.
Gotchas
- Submissions vs Submitters: a submission is the document instance; submitters are the people attached to it. One submission → many submitters.
- Pagination: paged list views are cursor-based with after (pass last item's ID). Use limit to control page size (max 100).
- IDs are integers: template_id, submission_id, submitter_id are all integers, not UUIDs.
