Create documents, manage templates, and handle submissions with DocuSeal

Actions23

Overview

This node integrates with the DocuSeal API to manage document templates. Specifically, the "Template" resource with the "Get" operation retrieves detailed information about a single document template by its ID. This is useful when you want to fetch metadata or configuration details of an existing template in your DocuSeal account.

Common scenarios include:

  • Fetching template details before generating documents.
  • Verifying template properties or status.
  • Using template data to automate workflows that depend on specific templates.

Example: You have a template for contracts stored in DocuSeal and want to retrieve its details to display or use in subsequent workflow steps.

Properties

Name Meaning
Template ID The unique numeric identifier of the template to retrieve.

Output

The output JSON contains the full details of the requested template as returned by the DocuSeal API. This typically includes fields such as template name, ID, associated documents, metadata, and other configuration details.

If the node supports binary data (not applicable for this operation), it would represent files or documents related to the template, but for the "Get" operation, only JSON data is returned.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the DocuSeal API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses internal helper functions to make authenticated HTTP requests to DocuSeal endpoints.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Template ID: If the provided Template ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify the ID is correct and exists in your DocuSeal account.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access templates.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures; check network access to DocuSeal's API.
  • Error Message Example: Failed to retrieve template: <error message> indicates the API call failed. Review the error message for specifics and verify input parameters.
