Regarding file path

I need to move the document shown under the signature tab to a new folder I created. How can I do that? Also, how can I find the document path? In the API request payload, I need to pass the 'From' path and 'To' path parameters

    Hi anil6 ,

     

    If you did not provide a specific folder to save those files into when the signature requests were created, then they would have been automatically saved on your home folder.

     

    In order to move those files to a different location, you can first retrieve the document's path by making an API request to /files/list_folder[continue]. Once you have obtained the path for the file(s) in question, then you can them send a request to /files/move or /files/move_batch to move the file(s).

     

    I hope you find this information helpful!

      Hi there,
      thanks for the quick response to my query. Actually, the problem is that I'm unable to get the signature folder path, which I need to provide in the 'From' parameter of the API. For your better understanding, I have attached a screenshot of the signature path where the documents are currently showing, and I also mentioned the folder to which I need to move them using the API in the attachment. Please have a look at the attached screenshot below:

        anil6, those files would actually be located in a "HelloSign" folder, which you can find when you click on "All Files" in the sidebar, on the left.

         

        The "top" path for that folder would be /hellosign.

         

        Hope this adds further clarification.
