Remove Authorization document case-by-case

0 votes
Sometimes (not always, depends on situation) we want to remove the default Authorization document. I would like to know how to do it with REST API using JSON and http calls to the server. In VB.NET we do this as follows: referenceToPackage = eslClient.GetPackage(packageId) Dim loAuthForm As Document = referenceToPackage.Documents(0) eslClient.PackageService.DeleteDocument(packageId, loAuthForm) In VB, we do this before adding our own document for signing. With REST API, we are uploading our document upfront with the signature data in the multipart/form-data post body, so i want to make sure the document I remove is the authorization document, not our document. How would I go about forming the JSON to upload and remove the default authorization document? Thank you! -Joe

Hi there, Because authorization document is with ID of "default-consent", so it's easy to locate with ID and you won't delete your own documents by mistake as long as you avoid setting this ID. You can use below API:
DELETE /api/packages/{packageId}/documents/default-consent
In your vb code, you can also check the document ID with "default-consent" in case deleting the wrong document. Hope this could help! Duo

Duo - Thank you. When I send the DELETE http call (nothing in the body, just the url as you defined) I get this response: URL: https://sandbox.esignlive.com/api/packages/vtxWKW1JhMTXzdK86OcAsOQI7pE=/documents/default-consent RESPONSE: {"messageKey":"error.validation.cannotDeleteDocumentInActivePackage","message":"The document is in an active package and cannot be deleted.","code":400,"name":"Validation Error"} any ideas?

Hi there, Please make sure your package is in DRAFT status, you can have this done in this process: #1. create package with multipart/form-data content. And in your payload JSON, set "status":"DRAFT" #2.delete default-consent document #3.sent package by PUT /api/packages/{packageId} with payload of {"status":"SENT"} Hope this could help! Duo

Perfect, thank you! My test package JSON had the status set to "SENT" not DRAFT (I thought it was, but it wasn't). Once I set it to DRAFT first, yes it works to allow me to delete the document then change status to SENT. Thank you again! -Joe
