Embedded Etch signing links no longer require `&withinIframe=true`

TL;DR - when embedding Etch e-sign links, you needed to append

&withinIframe=true


to the URL to bypass the registered user check. That parameter is no longer necessary.

Previously, each time an Etch e-sign link was opened, our system would first check if the signer email was registered to an Anvil account:

If yes, then our system would check if the user is logged in or not.

  • If they weren't logged in then they would be prompted to login
  • If they were logged in then they could e-sign without any other prompts
  • If accessed by another logged-in Anvil user, they would be prompted to sign in with the appropriate account

If not, then user could sign without any other prompts

Now, you no longer need to worry about this logged in/out complexity.
