POST/​v1/​envelopes/​blueprint/​official/​confidentiality-agreement/​

Confidentiality Agreement

Be protected while you share or receive confidential information with a one-way or two-way NDA.

An envelope using this blueprint may be created via the API or it may be created directly on the web using a form that has a one-to-one correspondence with the API.

The API to use a blueprint is identical from blueprint to blueprint except for two things. First, each blueprint has a unique context object that's passed in the API call. This is because the information needed to generate a Confidentiality Agreement is different than the information needed to generate an Independent Contractor Agreement, for example.

Second, a blueprint may sometimes call for you to pass in the parties separately from the context, but that depends on the shape of that blueprint's context. This Confidentiality Agreement blueprint does not require a parties property.
