Get metadata of envelope documents without PDFBytes field

Including the "includeData" field in a JSON webhook notification gives lots information of documents. Unfortunately, it includes the request of "pdfBytes" - binaries of the document files themselves.

This is problematic because it will transfer a large volume of data, which we don't need (and it's not recommended to send document data via webhooks).

It would be great to see DocuSign connect updated so that we can receive the "envelopeDocuments" field from webhooks excluding the pdfBytes field.

    Hi Ryan,

    A workaround to achieve your goal is to uncheck the "documents" option in the "Include Data" section of the "Envelope and Recipients" tile, and then check the "Prefill Tabs" option. This will include the documents array in the JSON payload without the PDF bytes, even if there are no Prefill tabs in the envelope.

    Thanks,
    Alan
