titleAPI / Integration: Can I store Meta data in the envelopes

Yes, you can store your own meta data in the envelopes.

Code Block
languagexml
themeEclipse
<envelope>
   <metaData>
      <element>custom data</element>
   </metaData>
</envelope>

The metaData element allows you to store additional, non-eSAW-data (e.g. for archiving) directly in the envelope. You can retrieve this information via getEnvelopeById call. An example of metaData is to store data for the archiving system in the envelope. The callback-integrating solution then can download the files (PDF & Audit-Trail) and store them directly in the archive.

titleDocuments: Is there a simple placeholder for signature fields in documents?

Yes, you may use our SigStrings to place signature fields in documents. You just have to type a string (the simplest version: `sig`) in the document and eSignAnyWhere is placing a signature field for you automatically. Here you get more information about our placeholders.

If you want to use more complex tags (e.g. for form fields, radio buttons, etc.) you may be interested in our advanced tags. This can be found in our Advanced User Guide Placeholder Use Case and moreover a look into the PrepareSendEnvelopeSteps_v1 function. This function can be helpful for integrations. There is a How To use Advanced Tags Guide also available.
