prepareContract
Step 2: freeze a contract READY to send, with its unsigned PDF.
POST/api/v1/callWRITEidempotent · 24 hruns as the key's owner
Step 2: freeze a contract READY to send, with its unsigned PDF. Build input.contract from getContractSendDraft's result (change what the person asked): values as { key, value } for every value to set, required blanks included; one recipient per role with exactly one of email or phone. Pass idempotencyKey (a new UUID) and resend it unchanged on a retry, so a lost response never makes a second contract. A template published again since step 1 is refused: start over. Needs the manage contracts capability. It reaches no signer: the person presses Send on /contracts/<id>, or a developer-API key calls sendContract.

The example sends only what the schema requires. Some operations also need one of several optional variables (one filter or another, say); the description above says which.
inputAdminContractPrepareInput!required
idempotencyKeyID!required
A UUID the client generates once per prepare; a retry with the same key returns the same contract.
contractAdminContractSendInput!required
A contract as the sender has it on the prepare screen.
heldContractIdID
A held workflow draft this send completes (from `heldDraft`): revision 1 is frozen on that contract.

400
unknown_variableA variable the operation does not declare. A typo is refused rather than silently dropped.
401
unauthorizedNo bearer header, or the key is invalid or revoked.
403
insufficient_scopeThe key lacks the scope the operation requires.
403
forbiddenA referenced record does not exist, was deleted, or is outside your organization. The gateway cannot tell those apart.
409
idempotency_conflictA request with this Idempotency-Key is still in flight.
Idempotency
Send an Idempotency-Key of 1 to 255 characters. A finished request retried with the same key replays its stored response, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true; one still in flight returns 409 idempotency_conflict. Keys expire after 24 hours. Write without fear →
