After a transaction has been sent, you can create a Signer Experience for your signers. This can be done in one of the following ways:

  • By creating a session token and then building URL redirect,

  • By retrieving the signing URL.

  • The difference between building the URL with a session token and retrieving a signing url is that a signing URL does not expire.

Creating a Signer Experience

To create a Signer Experience, you must first create the PackageId object of your document package.

If you need a comparison to the basic object creation procedure, or if this is the first time creating a transaction, see Creating and Sending a Transaction.

To create a Signer Experience it is important to note that the status of your transaction must be either SENT or COMPLETE. Otherwise, an exception will be thrown.

Once you have your PackageId object, you use the OneSpan SignApprovalService to pass the PackageId object and SignerId string as parameters to retrieve the signing url. For example:

String signerId = "Signer1";
String packageid = "your_package_id";
EslClient eslClient = new EslClient(API_KEY, API_URL);
PackageId packageId = new PackageId(packageid);
String signingUrl = eslClient.getPackageService().getSigningUrl(packageId, signerId);
System.out.println(signingUrl);

Once you have your PackageId, you will then need to retrieve the role id and make the following request:

HTTP Request

GET /api/packages/{packageId}/roles/{roleId}/signingUrl

HTTP Headers

Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic api_key

Response Payload

{
    "roleId": "2jsTTXD2dZMZ",
    "url": "https://sandbox.e-signlive.com/auth?target=https%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.esignlive.com\r\n%2Fpackages%2FnaXQwWFSQB9RkOiH6AguBCkXp2k=%2Fsign&loginToken=\r\nMi4xMDAwGpGY3JJPS55ZnNSeHBmekNxc1RzdnNJRVlBSDkZBR1RhcmxKS09aZ3M4aFZXVlpvdExrdz09",
    "packageId": "a3b023bf-db56-4c53-b36e-bd9acd0579f4"

Once you retrieved your package ID, use the encapsulated function below to pass the PackageID and RoleId as parameters to retrieve the signing url.

 public String getSigningUrl(String packageId, String roleId) {
    // Your implementation here
    // Example: return the signing URL based on packageId and roleId
    String signingUrl = 'https://example.com/sign?packageId=' + packageId + '&roleId=' + roleId;
    return signingUrl;
}
