Overview
This node integrates with the ClickSign API to manage electronic signature workflows. Specifically, for the Signer - Create operation, it allows users to create a new signer by providing their email and full name. This is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically add signers to documents or envelopes for electronic signing processes.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically adding a signer when a new contract document is generated.
- Creating signers as part of an automated approval workflow.
- Managing signers dynamically based on external triggers or data sources.

Output
The output JSON contains information about the created signer:
{
"success": true,
"message": "Signatário criado com sucesso",
"data": {
"key": "generated_signer_key",
"email": "signer@example.com",
"name": "Full Name of Signer",
"action": "sign",
"authentication": "email",
"status": "waiting",
"created_at": "2024-06-xxTxx:xx:xx.xxxZ"
}
}
key: Unique identifier for the signer.email: The signer's email address.name: The signer's full name.action: The action assigned to the signer (e.g., "sign").authentication: Method used to authenticate the signer (here, "email").status: Current status of the signer (initially "waiting").created_at: Timestamp of creation in ISO format.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the ClickSign API.
- Needs appropriate API authentication credentials configured in n8n (such as an API key or token).
- The node depends on n8n's internal error handling and parameter retrieval mechanisms.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Missing required properties (
signerEmailorsignerName) will cause errors. - Invalid email formats might not be accepted by the API.
- Network or authentication failures when connecting to ClickSign API.
- Missing required properties (
Error messages:
"Operação não suportada: <operation>"indicates an unsupported operation was requested; ensure only supported operations are used.- Errors related to missing parameters will typically indicate which input is required.
- If the node throws an error but
Continue On Failis enabled, the error message will be returned in the output JSON under theerrorfield.
To resolve errors:
- Verify all required inputs are provided and correctly formatted.
- Check API credentials and network connectivity.
- Use the node’s built-in error messages to identify unsupported operations or missing parameters.
