Release a held signature request

Turn final approval into a clean send without another dashboard check.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Release Signature Request Hold

Release a held signature request to send it to signers. Use this when a signature request was created from an unclaimed draft with hold_request=true and has been claimed but not yet sent. After releasing, the request will be sent to all designated signers.

Why this helps

Approved requests remain paused because nobody remembers the final release step.

  • Shorten approval to send time
  • Prevent approved work from stalling
  • Keep release decisions traceable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 0CodeKit and Dropbox Sign in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Release held request.
  • 3Tell Notis to release the held signature request ID in the webhook and report the send result.
  • 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one approved held request.

Questions about this workflow
