Error codes :

If the request fails for some specific reason, Bulksign API returns an error code and message which specifies which error was encountered.
For example :

   {
     ErrorMessage : "The specified envelope must be in Completed state",
     ErrorCode: 26
   }

Recommendations :

  • property "IsSuccess" determines if the request failed or not. That should be checked for each API request.

  • if the request failed, please log the error code, message and the RequestId on the integration side. For on-premise version, you can use the RequestId value to search the "api.log" file and find out more details.

The list with all error codes is included in our DotNet SDK and also available on Github
