Create an Account

To begin, developers need to create a DottedSign account. This account enables you to create your own application, through which you can utilize DottedSign API for integration with your system. To create an account, please visit the registration page in our Member Center.

Create an Application

After creating an account, the next step is to log in and create an application in DottedSign Developer Portal. In DottedSign, an application represents a single integration use case. Each application contains a variety of settings that must be configured based on your specific application scenario.

Name	Description
Application Name	The name of your application.
Token Expiration Time(s)	The duration for which the access token remains valid. Once the token expires, you will need to prompt your user to re-authenticate or refresh the token directly through your application.
Redirect URL	A list of all authorized redirect URLs to which your users can be directed after authorizing your application to use their account on their behalf. This is applicable only for Authorization Code Flow.
Scopes	The specific APIs that your application is permitted to use. It is typically necessary to limit these to prevent misuse. Please refer to API Scopes section for more details.
Webhook URL	The URL where your application will receive webhooks from DottedSign. It is used for real-time updates about various events, such as task completions or status changes, enabling responsive and dynamic application behavior. Please refer to Webhooks section for more details.
