Whether your request is still pending, partially signed by one signer, or not yet opened — KAiZEN eSign gives you complete control to cancel or recall a digital signature workflow anytime before completion.

Here are a few common questions users often ask:

  • Is it possible to cancel Signature request once it is placed by requester? 
  • Can we cancel eSignature request if it’s not yet completely signed?
  • Can we recall a request if one signer has signed but others haven’t?

This guide walks you through how to recall or cancel eSignature request in KAiZEN step-by-step, so you can quickly fix errors, resend updated documents, and keep your workflow seamless.

Few simple steps to cancel or recall signature request:

Step 1:

Assuming the sign request is already generated. Whenever a new signRequest is initiated (refer this blog), it generates a signRequestID in the response, which is required parameter to recall a sign request. Kindly store the signRequest ID in the response.
Sample HTTP Response for new sign request:
{
“FailRules”: [],
“Data”: {
“SignRequestId”: “01HV6MEARQD3X8ZXXX5FR3YDB8”,
“RequestNo”: “KAiZEN-118”
}
}

Step 2:

In order to recall any signRequest, user need to make a secure HTTP Callout as per the below details:
HTTP Request Parameters
Paramters NameValue
Content-Typeapplication/json
MethodPOST
Endpointhttps://fa-kaizen-prod.azurewebsites.net/api/RecallSignRequest?code=RTa1A0GW5Yl92OF54-73lRqglLFCt_0pVcg86hWf1EjtAzFuNROcdA==
BodyJSON Body with parameters
Request Body Parameters
Paramters NameDescriptionRequired
signRequestIdUnique ID of the sign requestYes
appTokenUnique Code to initiate the requestYes
recallReasonReason for recall the requestNo
recalledByName of the person who initiated the recallYes

Sample HTTP Request:
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setEndpoint( << Initiate Sign Endpoint URL >> );
request.setMethod(‘POST’);
request.setHeader(‘Content-Type’, ‘application/json’);
request.setBody( << JSON Body as shown below >> );
request.setTimeout(120000);

Sample JSON Body:
{
“signRequestId”: “<< unique id of sign request>>”,
“appToken”: “01HQMDX-YCP019-Z2P3SX-QPSB53-8B4A3F-BC40B8-B10908-FB2FF4-A”,
“recallReason”: “Request raised mistakenly”,
“recalledBy”: “Mohit Bansal”
}

Sample HTTP Response:
{
“FailRules”: [],
“Data”: true
}


Once the request is submitted, it will generate the different responses depending upon different scenarios:


Scenario 1: If the sign request is open or not completely signed, then request will successfully get cancelled with status as true.
Scenario 2: If the sign request is already signed, then it will display a error message in the response with the message “This request is already cancelled”
Scenario 3: If the sign request has invalid token, then it will display a error message in the response with the message “Invalid App Token”
Scenario 4: If the sign request has invalid id, then it will display a error message in the response with the message “No sign request found”

Conclusion

Being able to recall or cancel Signature request gives you complete control over your digital signing process.

By using the signRequest ID and the recall API, you can withdraw requests, provide a reason for cancellation, and prevent errors from becoming finalized.
