Replace invite recipient
update_invite_recipientDestructive
Replace the current signer on a pending field invite with a new email address, automatically updating the invite and resending it. Supports documents and document groups.
Instructions
Replace the signing recipient on a pending field invite for a document or document group. Finds the pending invite for the current signer and replaces it with a new signer. For documents: deletes the old invite, creates a replacement, and triggers sending. For document groups: updates the pending step(s) with the new signer information. Only field invites are supported — freeform and embedded invites cannot be updated.
