Docusign EnvelopeDocumentVisibility API

The Envelope Documents Visibility resource provides methods that manage document views and insights in an envelope.

Operations 6

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /v2/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/document_visibility See which envelope documents a recipient can view · Docusign Returns document visibility for the recipients #
Ask an LLM
“Which documents in an envelope can a particular recipient see?”
“Is any document hidden from a specific signer on an envelope?”
Tell an agent
Show document visibility for recipient {recipientId} on envelope {envelopeId}.
Get which documents recipient {recipientId} can view in envelope {envelopeId} of account {accountId}.
PUT /v2/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/document_visibility Set document visibility for one envelope recipient · Docusign Updates document visibility for the recipients #
Ask an LLM
“Can I hide a document from one specific recipient on an envelope?”
“Is it possible to change what a single signer can view?”
Tell an agent
Set document visibility for recipient {recipientId} on envelope {envelopeId} to {documentVisibility}.
Hide documents from recipient {recipientId} on envelope {envelopeId} in account {accountId}.
PUT /v2/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/document_visibility Set document visibility for all envelope recipients · Docusign Updates document visibility for the recipients #
Ask an LLM
“Can I update document visibility for several recipients of an envelope at once?”
“What's the bulk way to control which recipients see which documents?”
Tell an agent
Apply document visibility {documentVisibility} across all recipients on envelope {envelopeId}.
Update visibility for every recipient of envelope {envelopeId} in account {accountId}.
GET /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/document_visibility Returns document visibility for a recipient #
PUT /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/document_visibility Updates document visibility for a recipient #
PUT /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/document_visibility Updates document visibility for recipients #
