Notis

Update existing signing field details before sending

Keep field labels and requirements aligned with the latest handoff, then review the document before it goes out for signature.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Update Document Fields

Updates metadata for document fields.

Why this helps

Small changes to a field label or requirement can be easy to miss when they arrive in a separate document workflow.

  • Update existing field labels or requirements based on supplied instructions.
  • Use the handoff's document and field identifiers to target the intended fields.
  • Make the requested changes before the separate send step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Docnify once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to update the specified existing Docnify fields using the supplied labels or requirements, then summarize the changes.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real document and field update.

Questions about this workflow

Can this create new fields?

No. Use the Create Document Fields action for new fields. This workflow updates metadata on existing fields.

Will it send the document?
