How do I send a DocuSign envelope?

Short answer: You can send envelope in DocuSign by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the DocuSign Send Envelope action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

What happens if DocuSign returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message DocuSign returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Send Envelope support batch operations?

Run Send Envelope inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within DocuSign's rate limits.
