DocuSign Webhooks

When to Use This Skill

• Setting up DocuSign Connect webhook handlers
• Debugging DocuSign HMAC signature verification failures
• Understanding DocuSign envelope and recipient event types and payloads
• Handling envelope-completed, recipient-completed, or other Connect events
• Verifying the X-DocuSign-Signature-1 header

Verification (core)

DocuSign Connect signs the raw request body with HMAC-SHA256 keyed on your Connect HMAC secret and sends the digest as base64 in X-DocuSign-Signature-1. When multiple HMAC keys are active it sends one header per key (X-DocuSign-Signature-1, X-DocuSign-Signature-2, … up to 100); only one needs to match. The x-authorization-digest header names the algorithm (HMACSHA256). This is not the Standard Webhooks spec. The event type lives in the JSON body's event field (e.g. envelope-completed), not in a header.
