In Person signing request model data [xml] - for remote signing

Question

I am working on DocuSign api integration with my application [Rest using xml]. I need to use the In person signing feature. And I am looking for the sample request data [xml] for the envelope including the In person signing tag.

Thanks

When using the inPersonSigner recipient type there's some extra parameters you need to set (in addition to regular signer params). For in-person you need to set the hostName, hostEmail, and signerName recipient parameters, with the signerEmail being optional.

If using DocuSign REST API + XML format here's what the request looks like:

<envelopeDefinition xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.docusign.com/restapi">
    <emailSubject>DocuSign API:  In-Person Signing Test</emailSubject>
    <documents>
      <document>
        <name>Test.pdf</name>
        <documentId>1</documentId>
      </document>
    </documents>
    <recipients>
        <inPersonSigners>
            <inPersonSigner>
                <hostName>John Doe</hostName>
                <hostEmail>[email protected]</hostEmail>
                <signerName>Sally Doe</signerName>
                <routingOrder>1</routingOrder>
                <recipientId>1</recipientId>
                <tabs>
                    <signHereTabs>
                      <signHereTab>
                        <xPosition>100</xPosition>
                        <yPosition>100</yPosition>
                        <documentId>1</documentId>
                        <pageNumber>1</pageNumber>
                      </signHereTab>
                    </signHereTabs>
                </tabs>
            </inPersonSigner>    
        </inPersonSigners>
    </recipients>
    <status>sent</status>
</envelopeDefinition>

And if using DocuSign REST API + JSON format you can use this:

{
    "emailSubject": "DocuSign API:  In-Person Signing Test",
    "documents": [{
        "documentId": "1",
        "name": "Test.pdf"
    }],
    "recipients": {
        "inPersonSigners": [{
            "hostName": "John Doe",
            "hostEmail": "[email protected]",
            "signerName": "Sally Doe",
            "routingOrder": "1",
            "recipientId": "1",
            "tabs": {
                "signHereTabs": [{
                    "xPosition": "100",
                    "yPosition": "100",
                    "documentId": "1",
                    "pageNumber": "1"
                }]
            }
        }]
    },
    "status": "sent"
}
