Legal signing completion handoff

Use a signing provider reporting a completed document to create a verified document reference and an assigned next-step task. The design keeps source references, uncertain matches, and approval decisions visible to the responsible legal professional. It coordinates an administrative handoff with version checks and an exception queue. A completion callback must not bypass legal acceptance or document review.

1. Define the starting point

Start with a signing provider reporting a completed document. A successful handoff produces a verified document reference and an assigned next-step task. Define the accountable owner before connecting systems. A completion callback must not bypass legal acceptance or document review. A source event is a request to evaluate the current state; it is not permission to make an irreversible change.

2. Walk through the process

1. Authenticate the callback

Verify the signing provider’s supported event authentication and store the event key.

2. Match the envelope

Resolve the document version, matter, signers, and expected signature state.

3. Check the information

Use invented references in this worksheet. Keep real documents and personal records in an appropriate private system.

Reference field	Working record	Check
event_id	event_id	Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement.
envelope_id	envelope_id	Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement.
document_version	document_version	Bind approval to this exact source version; changes require review.
remaining_gate_state	remaining_gate_state	Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement.

4. Verify the process

Use synthetic examples. Mark a check only after recording what actually happened.

A duplicate callback creates one task.An incomplete signer set cannot satisfy completion.A repeated source event creates only one current review task.A changed source version invalidates an earlier approval.A named person can resolve an unclear or incorrect result.Work stops when the task is complete, withdrawn, or outside the agreed scope.A duplicate or interrupted handoff can be recovered without repeating a consequential action.Expected result, observed result, and recovery notes
