The simple deliverable is a PDF document that includes only the signed documents. The audit log is not included as part of the PDF pages, but is embedded as metadata in the PDF file, ensuring traceability while keeping the document content clean and focused on just the signed documents. If you require the audit log in the pages, use the standard deliverable.
SignatureAPI’s deliverables are tamper-proof and secured with a cryptographic seal that verifies their authenticity.

Deliverable Generation

You can generate a simple deliverable in two ways: automatically when the envelope is completed, or manually by using the Create Deliverable endpoint.

​
On Envelope Completion (Automatic)

To generate a simple deliverable, instead of the Standard deliverable generated by default, set the deliverable object when creating the envelope:
Create Envelope (Request)
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

{
    "title": "Service Agreement",
    "documents": [ /* ... */],
    "recipients": [ /* ... */],
    "deliverable": {
        "type": "simple",
        // optional properties: password, etc ...
    }
}
When this envelope is completed, SignatureAPI will generate a simple deliverable and deliver it to the recipients.

​
Create Deliverable Endpoint (Manual)

You can also create a simple deliverable manually at any time after the envelope is completed using the Create Deliverable endpoint. This is useful when you need to regenerate deliverables with different settings or create additional copies for specific purposes.
Create Deliverable (Request)
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes/{envelope_id}/deliverables
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

{
    "type": "simple",
    // optional properties: password, included_documents, etc ...
}

​
Customization

You can customize the simple deliverable by setting the following parameters:

​
Included Documents

The included_documents property specifies which documents from the envelope to include in the deliverable. By default, all documents are included. This is useful when you need to generate separate deliverables for different documents, or exclude certain documents from the final PDF. 
{
    "type": "simple",
    "included_documents": ["contract", "addendum"]
    //...
}
