Envelope lifecycle

Track envelope status through processing, in_progress, completed, failed, and canceled states

The status property indicates the envelope’s current stage in the signing process.

Status	Description
processing	The envelope is being prepared. Documents are validated and recipients are queued for notification.
in_progress	The envelope has been sent to recipients and is waiting for all participants to complete their part.
completed	All recipients have completed the envelope. A deliverable has been generated.
failed	An internal error occurred during processing. Failures are rare and trigger automatic alerts to the support team.
canceled	The signing process was stopped before completion.

The typical progression is processing to in_progress to completed. An envelope can transition to failed from processing, or to canceled from in_progress.

To cancel an envelope in in_progress status, use the Cancel Envelope endpoint. Envelopes in processing status cannot be canceled directly. They must first transition to in_progress.
