# Sample JSON response:
# (Sample code for parsing the JSON response is shown below)

# If the envelope you're trying to send is not yet completed, you'll get an error such as this:
# {
#   "errorCode": "ENVELOPE_IS_INCOMPLETE",
#   "message": "The Envelope is not Complete. A Complete Envelope Requires Documents, Recipients, Tabs, and a Subject Line."
# }
