Create a document pack with multiple documents
The below will allow you to create multiple documents within a single document pack.
When using the document_packs API you're able to use form field documents, syntax field documents as well as existing templates and merge them into a single document pack. Once done, the process will automictically request signatures if specified to do so, we will be auto requesting signatures in the below example.
Our test case scenario: Create a document_pack that consists of two documents, one for the employee to sign and one for the employer to fill in details and sign. Lets assume we already know the first and second name of the employee as well as the employers company name, we can pre-populate these fields before received by the signees.
Getting started
This process will use the Call POST /document_packs?auto_request_signatures_when_ready=true
(Please note this request expects an access_token set in the HEADER).
The above POST call includes the parameter auto_request_signatures_when_ready set to true, this parameter is optional based on your requirements. This will automatically request signatures when receiving a 200 response when making the call.
This creates a new document pack with the documents specified in the request body (explained below), along with other customizable fields. This document_pack will consists of two documents, one syntax pdf (for the employee to sign) and one form field pdf (for the employer to enter in required details as well as sign).
Syntax document:
Syntax document will consists of 3 fields assigned to the first signee setup as signer-1.
| custom_id | type | assignee | to pre-populate with value |
|---|---|---|---|
| first_name | text | signer-1 | Joe |
| second_name | text | signer-1 | Soap |
| employee_signature | signature | signer-1 |
Form field document:
Form field document will consists of 3 fields assigned to the second signee setup as signer-2.
| custom_id | type | assignee | to pre-populate with value |
|---|---|---|---|
| company_name | text | signer-2 | QuicklySign |
| registration_number | text | signer-2 | |
| employer_signature | signature | signer-2 |

The above process will achieve the below:
Document setup ("documents"):
- Create a document_pack with the name My Document Pack Example containing two child documents.
- Pre-populate the value of two fields in first employee document, no value has to be specified if you require the
user to fill in each field. - Assign all fields in the employee document to signer-1. Extract the syntax from the document by using
"extract_fields_by_tag":true. - Pre-populate the value of one field in second employer document, no value has to be specified if you require the
user to fill in each field. - Assign all fields in the employer document to signer-2. Extract the form fields from the document by using
"extract_fields_from_form_fields_with_metadata": true and "apply_extracted_fields": true
Email setup ("mail_settings"):
- Define our email subject and message body.
- Exclude the completed document to appear as an attachment when the document is received by each signer and
cc_recipient/s when the document has been completed. - Excluding the user who created this document from receiving the final copy one it's been completed.
Signer setup ("signatories"):
- Set up two signers, with their respective emails, mobile numbers, primary communication channel, name and role.
Signing process setup ("signing_settings"):
- Customize the signing settings to allow all signers to view attachments.
- Have default QuicklySign branding.
- Allow all methods of signing to be available.
- Have the user be directed to our default post signing URL once completing signing.
- Have our signing wizard direct the user to each field that he/she is required to fill in.
- Have the signature request be sent out in a sequential manner (signer-2 will only receive their request once signer-
1 has completed signing). - Disable two factor authentication so that no OTP is required in order to sign the document.
