Redirect not available after creation when using links- Why?
I'm trying to understand why this restriction is in place, as it's preventing us from integrating with PandaDoc in the same way we were previously doing with Docusign.
My use case is that the recipient logs into my application and sees the list of documents they need to sign. I generate the signing URI and send the user to sign the document. Once the document is completed, the user is redirected back to my application with the document ID as a URL parameter in the redirect so it can proceed accordingly. This worked perfectly in Docusign, as I could provide the redirect URL when generating the signing link.
Since I won't know what the document ID is until after the document is created, I cannot set the redirect at creation. Why can't I set the redirect by editing the recipient after the document has been created? This restriction doesn't make sense. It's also not very well documented that this is the case.
If I fetch the document details and check the recipient redirect is enabled, it says it is and I can see the URL. This gives me a false sense of security that the user will be redirected.

After further testing, it doesn't appear redirects work at all when using the signing URI. I set the redirect URL and enabled it when creating the document from a template via the API. After calling the API to generate a signing URI, there is no redirect happening after the user signs and clicks finish. This is in the sandbox environment, is it expected that redirects do not work in the sandbox? Or is there something else going on here?
