Setting expiry date with create_embedded_with_template

Hi, we want to start using the auto expiration feature on Dropbox sign but for some reason the /unclaimed_draft/create_embedded_with_template endpoint does not include the parameter for this setting....

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! We're currently working with our engineering team to get more information regarding your first question, and we'll follow up once we have an update.

Regarding your second question, we currently only support the expiration option with the endpoints listed on the expiration feature page of our documentation you've linked. 

The use of templates really depends on the sender’s and signers' needs for their workflow. Templates can be extremely useful in streamlining document preparation and signing, and we'd encourage their use when it best suits their workflow.

However, if setting an expiration is a critical feature for your workflow with templates, we’d be happy to explore opening a feature request based on what we learn from our engineering team.

We'll follow up as soon as we have more details. Let us know if you have any other questions in the meantime!
