Make signed PDFs discoverable in Slack
Put the final document where the team already searches.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
Why this helps
Completed PDFs stay buried in separate systems and are hard to locate during handoffs.
- Improve document discoverability
- Reduce duplicate uploads
- Keep the source link intact

- 1Connect Boldsign and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Add signed PDF reference.
- 3Tell Notis to add the returned signed PDF URL to Slack with a clear external id.
- 4Pick the Boldsign webhook trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one signed PDF callback.
