ZapSign

Interact with ZapSign API for digital signatures

Actions15

Overview

This node integrates with the ZapSign API to manage digital signature workflows. Specifically, the Document - Download operation allows users to download a signed document by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to retrieve the final signed PDF file after all parties have signed it.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically downloading signed contracts or agreements for storage or further processing.
  • Fetching completed documents to attach them to customer records or send via email.
  • Archiving signed documents in cloud storage or document management systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Document ID The unique identifier of the document to download.

Output

The output contains two main parts:

  • json: An object with the following fields:

    • documentId: The ID of the downloaded document.
    • downloaded: A boolean flag indicating that the document was successfully downloaded (true).

  • binary: Contains the actual PDF file data of the signed document under the property data. This binary data represents the downloaded signed document in PDF format.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the ZapSign API using an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses authenticated HTTP requests to interact with the ZapSign API endpoints.
  • No additional environment variables are required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Document ID: Ensure the Document ID provided exists and is correct.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and ZapSign service status.

  • Error messages:

    • If the document is not found, the API may return a 404 error. Confirm the Document ID.
    • Permission denied or unauthorized errors indicate issues with the API key.
    • Binary data preparation errors could occur if the response is not a valid PDF; ensure the document is signed and available for download.
