Turn an Ably event into a signature request
Start a signing workflow from an event your system already handles, without re-entering contract details by hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Signature Request
Create and send a signature request by email to the designated signers.
Why this helps
Contract details arrive through event-driven systems, then someone has to copy them into a separate signing workflow.
- Use the webhook payload as context for the signing instruction.
- Reduce manual copying between event handling and contract sending.
- Keep signing requests tied to the event that initiated them.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to use the incoming event details to send the document for signature.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example, with an external service sending the event to the Notis webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide a Notis trigger event for this workflow?
No. This workflow starts with a Notis webhook. An external service must send an HTTP request to that webhook when the relevant Ably event occurs.
What details should the webhook include?
Include the document and signer details needed for the request, or explain in the instruction which details Notis should use. The workflow cannot infer missing information.
