**July 2026** ✅ **Endpoint improvements** - Documented the optional `sms_message` parameter for the [document group invite](/docs/doc-group-field-invite/operations/invite-to-sign-document-group) and [single-document SMS invite](/docs/document-field-invite/operations/post-field_invite) endpoints, so you can customize the SMS text your signers receive. Also added a mixed email + SMS invite example and kept the [SMS invite guide](/docs/sms-invite) in sync. - Added the DocumentGroup Invite Expiry events to the [Webhooks guide](/docs/guides-webhooks) and the [Get callback info by ID](/docs/callbacks-info/operations/get-v2-dashboard-event-subscriptions-subscription_id-callbacks) reference, with a payload example, giving you visibility into when document group invites expire so you can automate follow-up. ✅ **Branding** Updated the [Create and edit send invite brand resource](/docs/general-branding/operations/put-v2-brands-brand_id-resources-send-invite) endpoint and the [Send invite resource](/docs/branding-send-invite-resource) page to remove the retired `actions-on-completion` setting and refresh the Send invite screenshots, so the docs match the current product. ✅ **Guides** - Added an end-to-end flow to the [entities guide](/docs/entities) covering the reusable-template-to-embedded-signing path, from creating a template to instantiating a signable document for signing. - Published a new [Handling SignNow event callbacks](/docs/guides-handling-signnow-event-callbacks) guide covering how to subscribe to SignNow events and build a callback server to receive and process them, complete with an end-to-end flow diagram and a runnable example server. - Published a new [Sign PDFs in WordPress](/docs/sign-pdfs-in-wordpress) guide showing how to embed SignNow document signing in a WordPress page via the REST API.
