Checking casefile status

Once you've sent your first casefiles, you'll want to check up on them from time to time. You can do this for individual casefiles, or pull a list of all of them. But first, you'll want to know which statuses a casefile can have:

0. New: The case file hasn't been sent out for signing yet
1. Pending: The case file is out for signing
2. Rejected: One of the signers has rejected to sign
3. Deleted: The case file has been out for signing but have since been deleted
4. Signed: The case file is signed, but the signed documents are not generated
5. Completed: The signing process is completed
6. Failed: An error occurred, either as a result of invalid/incomplete input or system error.

Let's see what checking the status of an individual casefile looks like:

API

// Check casefile status

GET <<penneo_api_base_url>>/casefiles/<casefile id>

// You want the "status" parameter. Possible values:

// 0 : 'new' 
// 1 : 'pending' 
// 2 : 'rejected' 
// 3 : 'deleted' 
// 4 : 'signed' 
// 5 : 'completed' 
// 6 : 'failed'

C#

// Retrieve a specific case file (by id)

var myCaseFile = Query.Find<CaseFile>(<casefile id>);
myCaseFile.GetStatus();

// This returns the status of the case file as a string.

PHP

// Retrieve a specific case file (by id)

$myCaseFile = CaseFile::find(<casefile id>);
echo $myCaseFile->getStatus();

// This returns the status of the case file as a string.

Easy peasy, but what if you're handling large volumes?

Basically if you leave out the ID, you'll get a list of all the casefiles your credentials give you access to. See the page on retrieving completed casefiles, and leave out the status filter.
