title: Migrating to Envelopes
description: Why Documenso unified documents and templates into envelopes, and how to migrate from the deprecated document and template create endpoints.

## Summary
The following items have been deprecated and will be removed on the <strong>1st of March 2027</strong>:
- <strong>API V1</strong>
- <strong>A subset of SDK/API V2 endpoints</strong>
- <strong>Legacy documents and templates</strong>
- <strong>EmbedCreateDocumentV1</strong>
- <strong>EmbedCreateTemplateV1</strong>
- <strong>EmbedUpdateDocumentV1</strong>
- <strong>EmbedUpdateTemplateV1</strong>
The beta endpoint `/api/v2-beta` will also be removed. Use `/api/v2` instead, which is a drop-in replacement.
Nothing breaks before 1st of March 2027, so you can migrate at your own pace.
## What are legacy documents and templates
These are documents and templates created by the following endpoints:
- `POST /api/v2/document/create`
- `POST /api/v2/document/create/beta`
- `POST /api/v2/template/create`
- `POST /api/v2/template/create/beta`
- `POST /api/v1/documents`
- `POST /api/v1/templates`
- `POST /api/v1/templates/create-document`
- `POST /api/v1/templates/generate-document`
## What replaces legacy documents and templates
At the end of 2025 we introduced a unified system for documents and templates, called <strong>envelopes</strong>.
We still reference documents and templates throughout the documentation and application to distinguish them, but internally they are envelopes.
Moving to the envelope system gives you:
- **Multiple PDFs in one envelope.** Send several documents to sign in a single request.
- **One API for documents and templates.** Learn one set of endpoints instead of two misaligned ones.
- **A better editor and signing experience** for you and your recipients.
## How to migrate
{/* prettier-ignore */}
<Steps>
<Step>
### Switch to the envelope endpoints
Replace each deprecated endpoint with its `/api/v2/envelope/*` equivalent from the [mapping tables](#endpoint-mapping-reference) below.
</Step>
<Step>
### Set the envelope `type` on create
A single endpoint, `POST /api/v2/envelope/create`, can create both documents and templates. Set `type` to `DOCUMENT` or `TEMPLATE`. You can now upload more than one PDF using the `files` field.
</Step>
<Step>
### Update how you store IDs
Envelope IDs are **strings** (for example `envelope_abc123`), not numbers. Update any code that stores, parses, or compares IDs.
</Step>
<Step>
### Test, then remove the old calls
Verify the new flow against your account, then delete the deprecated calls.
</Step>
</Steps>
The main data differences are as follows:
- ID format changed from number to string (e.g. `42` to `envelope_abc123`)
- pageNumber becomes page
- pageX becomes positionX
- pageY becomes positionY
See the [Documents API](/docs/developers/api/documents) and [Templates API](/docs/developers/api/templates) for the full envelope reference.

## FAQ
<Accordions>
<Accordion title="What happens on 1 March 2027?">
The deprecated V1 API, the V2 endpoints listed above, and the V1 embedding components are removed.
Requests to them will fail, so migrate to the envelope API before that date.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Will my existing documents and templates keep working?">
Yes. Documents and templates you already created remain in your account and continue to work. They will automatically be converted to envelopes. Only
the deprecated endpoints you call are going away. Your data is not deleted.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Do I need a new API token?">
No. Authentication is unchanged. The same API token works for the envelope endpoints under
`https://app.documenso.com/api/v2`.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="What is the difference between a document and a template now?">
Both are envelopes, distinguished by a `type` field of `DOCUMENT` or `TEMPLATE`. They share the same
endpoints, recipients, fields, and attachments.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="I use an official SDK, what should I do?">
The function calls to the legacy endpoints will break on the 1st of March 2027. Update to the latest SDK version and switch to its envelope methods.
The deprecated document and template methods map to the envelope endpoints in the tables above.

help you plan the migration.

Template events track changes to reusable document templates. Template payloads use the same structure as document payloads. For `TEMPLATE_CREATED`, `TEMPLATE_UPDATED`, and `TEMPLATE_DELETED` the template's own legacy numeric ID is in `id` and `templateId` is `null`.

Documenso performs a best-effort check that rejects webhook URLs which use or resolve to private

network-level egress rules. Self-hosters that need to deliver to a hostname resolving to a

## Retry Policy
When a webhook delivery fails (non-2xx response or timeout), Documenso automatically retries with exponential backoff:
A delivery fails when the endpoint returns a non-`2xx` response, the 10-second timeout expires, or the request fails. Redirects are not followed, so `3xx` responses also fail. Network and SSRF-blocked requests are recorded with response code `0`.
| Attempt | Delay |
| ------- | ----- |
| 1 | Immediate |
| 2 | 1 minute |
| 3 | 5 minutes |
| 4 | 30 minutes |
| 5 | 2 hours |
For self-hosted deployments, retries are handled by the background-job provider selected with `NEXT_PRIVATE_JOBS_PROVIDER`:
After 5 failed attempts, the webhook is marked as failed and no further automatic retries occur. You can manually resend failed webhooks from the dashboard.
| Provider | Total attempts | Retry timing |
| -------- | -------------- | ------------ |
| Local (default) | 4 | Back-to-back, with no backoff |
| BullMQ | 3 | Exponential backoff starting at 1 second |
| Inngest | 5 | Inngest platform backoff |
Only the individual delivery (`WebhookCall`) record is marked as failed. Documenso does not automatically disable the webhook or apply a circuit breaker, so future matching events continue to be delivered. After automatic attempts are exhausted, you can manually resend a failed delivery from the dashboard.
<Callout type="warn">
If your endpoint consistently fails, consider reviewing your server logs and ensuring your endpoint meets all [URL requirements](#webhook-url-requirements).
