DocuSign Template Prefil Fields Through API

Question

I was a user of Right Signature, where we can create merge fields, and we can send the data through post request,

I have recently migrated to Docusign,

I see that they have prefil fields.

What I want to achieve is, Create Prefil fields, like Owner Name, Owner Email, etc,

And supply this fields through DOCUSIGN API, and send them. Is this functionality even possible.

I could not find any documentation, or perhaps I do not have the right search. Can some one point me to it, what will be the syntax for sending the templates, with prefil fields.

Thanks.

Anything you can do from the web app - you can do from API. The term "pre-fill fields" means something very specific, but I'm not sure exactly what you want. Any field in DocuSign can be "pre-filled" such that the value is set by the sender. The field can be read-only or can be edited by the person that it is assigned to. You can also use pre-fill fields that are specific for the sender and therefore cannot be modified by anyone except the sender.

All of this is possible with the API, I suggest you first try it with the web app to understand. You can do everything for free with a developer account - try it and see if it serves your need.
