How to prevent signers from reassigning the document using API?

Published:
2 mins read

When sending documents for signatures via BoldSign, sometimes it’s important to prevent signers from reassigning the document to other recipients. BoldSign provides a feature to disable the option for signers to reassign the document, ensuring that the document remains with the intended recipients.

Disable signer’s ability to reassign the document

When you want to prevent signers from reassigning documents, include the EnableReassign property set to false in your send API call.

Here are code examples demonstrating how to achieve this:

Code snippet

curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H 'X-API-KEY: {your API key}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
    -F 'EnableReassign= false' \
    -F 'Message=' \
    -F 'Signers={
       "name": "Hanky",
       "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@cubeflakes.com",
       "signerType": "Signer",
       "formFields": [
          {
               "id": "string",
               "name": "string",
               "fieldType": "Signature",
               "pageNumber": 1,
               "bounds": {
                 "x": 50,
                 "y": 50,
                 "width": 1,
                 "height": 1
                  },
     "isRequired": true
   }
 ],
 "locale": "EN"
}' \
 -F 'Files={your file}' \
 -F 'Title={title}' \

By setting the EnableReassign property to false, you ensure that the signer will not have the option to reassign the document to another person. Make sure to execute the above codes and provide the necessary fields such as Files, Title, and Signers.
