I’m having issues with the JSON data that I’m sending as part of my signing request – how can I view/debug this?

As well as using the FileMaker Pro Advanced Script Debugger and Data Viewer to debug the script and view the result of various variables and fields, you can also enable a global variable:

$$fmESignatureLinkDebugMode

which when enabled (set to value of 1) will record a copy of the JSON data being send to the the DocuSign API in the

Requests::EnvelopeSigningRequest 

field. You can enable this global variable in the OnFirstWindowOpen Script or the DocuSign – Create and Send Envelope script as required.

You can also view the JSON for the last envelope request that was sent by viewing the contents of the FileMaker global variable $$jsonDebug using the the Data Viewer. This is automatically updated every time an envelope is sent to DocuSign.

DocuSign also has a way of logging requests via the API – see here for more details on how to enable logging and download the DocuSign logs.
