Prepare a signature draft from a task comment

Capture the request in the task discussion and have Notis prepare a draft for a teammate to finish.

Trigger

New Comment on Task

Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.

Action

Create Unclaimed Draft

Tool to create an unclaimed draft that can be claimed via a unique URL. Use when you need to prepare a signature request or document send that will be finalized later by someone else through the claim URL.

Why this helps

A request buried in comments can be overlooked or require someone to rebuild the draft workflow from scratch.

  • Turn an explicit comment request into a prepared draft.
  • Leave the final claiming and sending decision with a teammate.
  • Keep the draft request connected to the task discussion.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
  • 3In one instruction, define the comment phrase that requests a draft and where draft details should come from.
  • 4Choose Asana's New Comment on Task trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real comment that includes the needed document and draft details.

Questions about this workflow

Does this send the draft to signers?

No. Create Unclaimed Draft prepares a draft that can be claimed later. It does not itself send a signature request to signers.

Can a comment alone provide every required detail?

Only if it contains the document and request information required for your draft. Specify any other source in your instruction.
