How to add hyperlink in a Document in DocuSign

Follow below mentioned steps to add a string as hyperlink to a document in while using Docusign to produce them
  1. Create a datafield to your template on docusign which would be populated with text and will link to specific URL.
  2. Open the tab properties
  3. Modify the properties as below.
Label : Most important attribute to modify to make a string into url. Label of the datafield should start with #HREF and if you have multiple datafields which need to be hyperlink you can label them as #HREF data1, #HREF data2 etc. (If you are using JSON\SOAP to pass data to populate your document the tablabel would be "#HREF" and value would be the text that you want to show).

Tool Tip: The value that we set in this field is the actual link where the hyperlink takes you to. To populate this field you need to send the url with "name" parameter.(if you are using JSON make sure that "name" is all in lower case, "NAME")

After that you must define below mentioned properties of datafield

  • Mask : Text
  • Allow all to edit : true(checked)
  • Under formatting properties
    •   Required : true 
    •   Locked : true
Now you are done with changes in docusign. Now you must send the data to populate your document. Below is a demo JSON object (may not be valid)

 {"tablabel": "#HREF Link1", "value": "Click Here", "name" : "http://www.google.com"},
