Change the state of a signature request.

Use this operation to transition a stateful signature request to a new state.

Possible transitions are:

  • from DRAFT to PENDING: start the signature request: the platform waits for the activation date (only if set) and transitions the signature request to IN_PROGRESS automatically
  • from PENDING to DRAFT: suspend the signature request so that it can be updated
  • from PENDING to CANCELED: cancel the signature request without waiting for the activation date
  • from IN_PROGRESS to CLOSED: close the signature request before all signatures get colleted
  • from IN_PROGRESS to CANCELED: cancel the signature request before all signatures get colleted

Note that stateless signature requests can only be transitioned to CLOSED or CANCELED,
which triggers the generation of the audit trail and its signature by the platform.

Body Params

New state of the signature request.

State of the signature request.

If not set, the signature request is stateless and can be updated at any time (eg. to add new signers on the fly).

If set to DRAFT at creation time, the signature request is stateful and its state can be transitioned using the /signatureRequest/{requestId}/transition endpoint.

Available states:

  • DRAFT: the signature request is being edited (only DRAFT signature requests can be updated)
  • PENDING: the signature request is waiting for its activation date to be reached
  • IN_PROGRESS: the signature request emails have been sent to the signers (if applicable) and the signatures are being collected
  • COMPLETED: all signatures have been collected
  • CLOSED: the signature request has been closed by the owner before all signatures could be collected
  • CANCELED: the signature request has been canceled by the owner before all signatures could be collected
  • EXPIRED: the deadline of the signature request has been reached before all signatures could be collected
