You can now request Consents from Signers directly in the Signature Request process.

This allows you to create and assign Consents to one or multiple Signers, which will be recorded in the Audit Trail for both Simple Electronic Signature (SES) and Advanced Electronic Signature (AES).

Please consult our dedicated guide to learn more about Consent Requests.

Here are the recent improvements to Workspaces in Sandbox:

  • You can now create, read, update, and delete Workspaces within the Sandbox environment.
  • Signature Requests must be created within a Workspace in the same environment. For example, Signature Requests in Sandbox must be created in Sandbox Workspaces.
  • A default Workspace is automatically created in Sandbox when you generate your first API Key in the Sandbox environment.

For more details on managing Workspaces, please refer to the API reference.

A new parameter has been added to the webhook configuration to provide better customisation: it is now possible to specify a list workspace when a Webhook is created or updated.

The webhook will only be triggered for events happening on resources belonging to the listed workspaces.

Before this improvement, the first name and last name contained in a QES signer's certificate were necessarily the first of the first names and birth name. From now on, a certificate generate for the qualified level can contain any first names as long as it is present on the identity document used, regardless of its position on the ID document, and a usage name (such as a married name, for example) if it is also present on the identity document.

The condition remains the same: the identity declared by the Sender and the identity on the ID document must strictly match.

You will find all information about the Yousign QES in our guide.

It is now possible to sign a previously sealed document directly using its electronic_seal_document_id. This saves you having to download and upload a sealed document to create an SR, you can go straight to the sealed document for SR creation.

The endpoint used is POST /signature_requests/{signatureRequestId}/documents, with the new parameter here.

Please consult our dedicated guide to learn more about the Seal&Sign feature.

You can now customize the text of the One-Time Password (OTP) SMS sent to signers via the Yousign API.

This feature allows you to align the OTP SMS content with your brand and provide clear instructions to your signers.
