DocuSign Connect Webhooks

Version 2.0.0

DocuSign Connect is a webhook notification service that sends real-time updates about envelope and recipient events to your application. Connect pushes notifications to your listener endpoint when envelope status changes, recipients complete actions, or other configured events occur. This enables event-driven integrations without the need to poll the eSignature REST API for status updates.
