We integrate with GoCanvas using a custom built Java based back-end application.
This application retrieves GoCanvas Submissions via the submissions.xml API.
When we retrieve a Submission, we use the WebAccessToken within the XML response to generate a link where our Client can view the generated PDF file of the Submission. This is all working fine.
However, the WebAccessToken can only be used to access the first revision of the Submission.
It would be really usefull to have a GoCanvas generate a second WebAccessToken that could then be used to access the second version of the submission via the submissions.xml API

Howdy Donal,
Thank you for this detailed feedback! I have reached out to our Engineering team on this matter, and they have some potential solutions they would like to investigate.
I am going to convert this post into a Support ticket, and escalate it to our Engineering team for review. You should receive a response via email once they have had time to investigate.
Hi Donal,
I'd love to be able to do the same but not sure how.
I have the WebAccessToken, so how do I use that to generate the link to the PDF.
Thanks
Hi Kerrie,
If you already have the WebAccessToken, it should be just at case of calling the URL like so:
https://www.gocanvas.com/submission_files/<WebAccessToken>
where you replace <WebAccessToken> with your actual web access token.
Kind regards,
Donal.
Some of the Forms do not contain a WebAccessToken in the API result. Why is that? Can I activate WebAccessTokens?

I seem to recall that your form needs to be configured to send an email in order to have it generate the WebAccessToken field. You could try that to see if it works...
