Integration codes

Using the REST API to create all the resources needed to set up a signing process can be cumbersome in some cases. And some times you need to communicate data about the signing process between components of your system that don't talk directly to Penneo.

That is why we have created a structured data format to relay information about a signing process in a uniform way. We call it integration codes. If you stick to this format, you will be able to talk to different Penneo components and pre-configure your signing process without going through the REST API.

You can read more about the different ways you can use the integration codes in the subsections.

Below you can see the JSON schema that is the technical description of the integration code format. We recommend that you always use the current version if you are beginning a new project.
