In some cases, you may be bound to provide the signer with a reflection period, which is the case with the Scrivener Law, for example.
With Universign, it is possible to set a reflection period for a participant, which will allow you to invite the signer to read the documents and download them but will prevent him/her from effectively signing the documents before the end of the period set on your side.
When the reflection period ends, the signer receives a notification and can sign the documents.
Note that this feature is currently available for level1 signature only.
To do so, send a request to POST /v1/transactions/{transaction_id}/participants with the waiting_period argument, which must be expressed in days.
curl
https://api.universign.com/v1/transactions/tx_AWo949MOq0JE/participants \
-d email=john@company.com \
-d waiting_period=7
During the reflection period, you can send automatic or manual reminders to the participant.
The participant will receive a reminder email :
- Once the reflection period is over
- If you update the
waiting_periodparameter and set it to0.
Note that each time you update the waiting_period value, the countdown is reset.
