Difference between `recipientId` vs. `recipientIdGuid`

While I was poking around the DocuSign API getting it set up for an application, I noticed recipients have two separate ID's, one being a recipientId and the other recipientIdGuid.

The first value recipientId appears to be plain numbers, whereas the other value looks to be a UUID or hash of some kind.

I'm assuming the recipientId fields are unique to the envelope, whereas the recipientIdGuid version is unique across the service? I'm trying to get the Docusign Connect service set up currently, so I'm wondering what I should be storing locally in our own DB.

  • RecipientGUID is the GUID for a particular recipient on a particular envelope. No two recipients will ever have the same recipientGUID.
  • RecipientId is a local reference integer, used for mapping recipient to other objects, such as mapping the recipient in the envelope to tabs assigned to them in that envelope. The Sender sets these values. No two recipients in the same envelope will have the same ID, but across envelopes there is no uniqueness requirement.
