title: Can you use the Any Signer feature in a (REST API) embedded process?
body: <p>I'd like to use the <strong>Any Signer</strong> functionality, but our signing application uses <em>embedded</em> signing only.  Can you use Any Signers in an embedded process?</p>
  
  <p>The problem I run up against is that I can only get Any Signer working for non-embedded signers.  That is, it only works for signers with no clientUserID.  But with no clientUserID, I can't use embedded signing.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone got embedded Any Signers working or have a workaround?</p>
  
  <p>Some further details:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Our process is automated and embedded-only so that we can use our own email content and provide the option of signing via email or in-application frame to our end users.</p></li>
  <li><p>I've been able to get the Any Signer option working according to the DocuSign Quick Start Guide:
  <a href="https://www.docusign.com/sites/default/files/Quick%20Start%20-%20Using%20the%20Any%20Signer%20Option.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.docusign.com/sites/default/files/Quick%20Start%20-%20Using%20the%20Any%20Signer%20Option.pdf</a></p>
  
  <p>The problem is that this works only for non-embedded users.</p></li>
  <li><p>I'm able to create an envelope via the REST API, with Any Signer as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>POST https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/&lt;account&gt;/envelopes
  
  {
      "emailBlurb" : "Test Email Blurb",
      "emailSubject" : "Test Email Subject",
      "status" : "sent",
      "documents" : [{
              "documentId" : "1",
              "name" : "TestDoc.pdf",
          }
      ],
      "recipients" : {
          "signers" : [{
                  "recipientId" : 1,
                  "email" : "any@example.com",
                  "name" : "Any Signer",
                  "tabs" : {
                      "signHereTabs" : [{
                              "documentId" : "1",
                              "recipientId" : 1,
                              "name" : "SignHere_3",
                              "pageNumber" : 1,
                              "xPosition" : 81,
                              "yPosition" : 447,
                              "tabName" : "SignHere_3"
                          }
                      ],
                  },
                  "routingOrder" : 1,
              }
          ]
      }
  }
