title: How do I Bulk Send a Template using the API?
body: <p>I followed this guide:<br />
  <a href="https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/how-to/bulk-send-envelopes/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/how-to/bulk-send-envelopes/</a></p>
  <p>For Step 4. I removed the Documents property and used a TemplateId instead and got the following error:</p>
  <p><code> Error calling CreateEnvelope: {&quot;errorCode&quot;:&quot;INVALID_REQUEST_PARAMETER&quot;, &quot;message&quot;:&quot;The request contained at least one invalid parameter. 'recipients' may not be specified when template Id is set. use templateRoles'.&quot;}</code></p>
  <p>The issue is <code>CreateBulkSendList</code><a href="https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/bulkenvelopes/bulksend/createbulksendlist/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">(Bulk Envelopes API)</a> doesnt allow for TemplateRoles(Step 3. from the guide)</p>
  <p>Not sure how to proceed, in fewer words:<br />
  Id like to Bulk send an envelope using Template Roles</p>
  <p>I could write a loop and have it send 1 by 1 instead of Bulk but id rather not.
  Thanks for reading!</p>
