You have 2 options to create a SignRequest:
- Upload a File: Use a trigger that provides a File Object.
- Provide an URL: SignRequest will download the document from that location.
File
Option 1: Upload a File
PDF's are preferred. If you do not provide a File here you need to provide a url in 'File From Url' where SignRequest can download the file. Generally you'll want to use this if your trigger provides a File Object.
File From URL
Option 2: Provide an URL
When not using 'File' provide a url here where SignRequest can download the file. If the download location returns a content type of text/plain or text/html SignRequest will do its best to make a pdf out of it. This can be used if you want to dynamically create pdf documents from web pages without making a pdf yourself.
