Sending a Package using the Rest API

0 votes
Hello, I'd like to send a package (transaction--the fact that these separate terms mean the same thing is quite confusing) programmatically using the API (no SDKs as I'm using NodeJS) but I'm not seeing any endpoints in the documentation to do so. Is it possible to send a package using the API?

Yes, there is. You can follow the example in the REST API section of this guide: https://developer.esignlive.com/guides/feature-guides/modify-status-of-a-package/ However, instead of passing DRAFT as a status, you'll put SENT

Hey Haris, Thanks, I see now how I get generate the signerUrl. But I have another issue that perhaps you can help me with. My goal is to first clone a package from an existing template, and then send that cloned package. However, the newly cloned package is created as a Draft, and I can't send it to be signed because it's a draft and not a "real transaction". Is there a way to programmatically go from Draft to live transaction (the API equivalent of hitting the "Send to Sign" button in the web UI)?
