LibreSign event catalog

LibreSign provides signing-workflow events through Nextcloud’s Webhook Listeners app. An administrator can subscribe to any event listed below by its fully qualified PHP class name. The subscription is managed by Nextcloud and delivered asynchronously by its background jobs. All six classes implement OCP\EventDispatcher\IWebhookCompatibleEvent.

Available events

All classes use the OCA\Libresign\Events namespace.

Webhook-compatible events

Class name

When it is emitted

SigningRequestReadyEvent

A document or envelope is created ready to sign, or its workflow moves from draft to ready. Repeated updates to the ready state do not generate another event.

SignerSignedWebhookEvent

One signer completes a signature for a document. An envelope containing multiple documents can produce an event per signed document, all associated with the same envelope request.

SignerRejectedWebhookEvent

A signer’s rejection is persisted, once per business rejection, regardless of how many identification methods are configured. The payload indicates whether the workflow was canceled.

SigningRequestCompletedEvent

The document or parent envelope reaches its completed state. Partial signatures alone do not generate a completion event. A workflow may complete even if a signer rejected, depending on its rejection policy.

SigningRequestCanceledEvent

A rejection causes the document or parent envelope’s workflow to enter the canceled state. This does not represent the removal of an individual signer.

NotificationDeliveryStatusChangedEvent

A notification submission attempt receives a persisted outcome from the configured channel adapter. This does not establish that a recipient received or read the message.

Event payloads

The serialized event object of every LibreSign webhook contains:

  • contractVersion: version of the event’s JSON contract (1).

  • eventId: stable identifier for deduplicating repeated deliveries.

  • requestUuid: identifier of the signing workflow or parent envelope.

  • requestType: document or envelope.

Each event also provides these fields:

Event-specific fields

Class name

Additional fields

SigningRequestReadyEvent

status: "ready_to_sign".

SignerSignedWebhookEvent

status: "signed", documentUuid, signerId.

SignerRejectedWebhookEvent

status: "rejected", documentUuid, signerId, workflowCanceled (boolean).

SigningRequestCompletedEvent

status: "completed".

SigningRequestCanceledEvent

status: "canceled".

NotificationDeliveryStatusChangedEvent

deliveryId, channel, state, attempt.

For workflow events, eventId is derived from the request UUID and transition. Signer events use deterministic identifiers associated with the persisted signing or rejection action. Notification delivery events identify the delivery record, attempt and outcome. Do not rely on the arrival order or assume that a delivery occurs exactly once.

The notification state can be accepted, temporary_failure, permanent_failure, failed, unknown or canceled. In particular, accepted means that the channel adapter accepted the submission, not that an email or other message reached its recipient. Pending and in-progress attempts are not published as outcome events.

Receiving events securely

Subscribe to the complete class name, for example:

OCA\Libresign\Events\SigningRequestCompletedEvent

Webhook Listeners sends the event through Nextcloud’s JSON wrapper. The receiver must authenticate each request, associate requestUuid with a workflow it is authorized to handle and deduplicate by eventId. Individual signer events expose a numeric signerId and documentUuid for correlation, but not invitation links or bearer-style signing tokens.

Webhooks contain neither the signed PDF nor credentials granting access to it. Retrieve and validate signed documents separately using an authorized LibreSign/Nextcloud account. Configure working Cron jobs to process asynchronous deliveries.

See Configure webhook deliveries for subscriptions and receiver authentication, Signing workflow completed for a complete event body, and External signing with native webhooks for the signing and PDF-retrieval workflow.
