Create document via Template

POST https://api.zapsign.com.br/api/v1/models/create-doc/

This endpoint allows you to create a document using a DOCX Template. You only need to send the data that will replace the dynamic fields in the template in JSON format, and you will receive the response in JSON as well.

Before getting started, you must create the Template on the ZapSign web platform in the Templates section and select the DOCX option (this feature is not available for PDF templates). See the tutorial for creating a dynamic template.

}

What you should do with this response is send the signature link to the signer through your application.

The signature link consists of the route: https://app.zapsign.co/verificar/{signer_token}

Thus, in the example above, where we have one signer, you must send the following signature link: - https://app.zapsign.co/verificar/921c115d-4a6e-445d-bdca-03fadedbbc0b And now just wait for your signer to sign!

More than one signer?

If you want to add more signers, use the "Add Signer" endpoint, receive the new signer's token and send the signature link as explained above.
